I do understand the complaints about the way the system works with boss battles. The automation of normal random encounters as you grind or go from place to place, meh, that's been around even in old school JRPGs for as long as the option for cursor memory has been, not to mention actual auto attack functions. I don't see the gambit system as functionally different then holding X while your cursor memory commands play out on repeat. But in those games you stop holding x when it comes to a boss/hard encounter and individual controlled actions become more important, in this one you mainly just adjust your gambits here or there for the specifics. There aren't a ton of encounters where precise manual control is needed, or would even be anything but a detriment when compared to well set up gambits.

I like the system, but I learned Ruby in order to be able to make highly customized automated scripts for a text RPG that's been around since the 80's. I get that it's not everybody's cup of tea.
