Do you like the direction FF games are going?

[Yar]

There's one similarity between FFXII and FFXIII at least, more automated battle sequences. I definitely don't like that direction.

Yeah, games that want to play themselves. What a snoozefest.

The reason I love the older ones is because there are so many meticulous details that you yourself are responsible for. Final Fantasy V and Tactics are two of my favorites because of this. (Also, with more customization comes a great amount of replay value.)

In the two most recent entries, you don't even get to tell your characters what to do. Believe it or not, I don't mind if I have to hit "Attack" over and over again. At least I'm the one in control.
