Also I know this is going back really far but I just can't understand this opinion at all. The way they go so intricately into the combat systems is one of my favorite things about the show. I just love the nitty gritty stuff like that.

The explanations are often long and drawn out and boring themselves, and the story doesn't actually follow the rules in any way that feels meaningful anyway. Though, in a by-the-book sense they of course do follow the rules--I guess the real issue is that the limitations of the combat system don't come across to the viewer as limitations because they're so arbitrary and are frequently twisted beyond recognition anyways.

And like, I'd rather they just don't explain anything then fail to develop a very intricate system. If they're fighting each other with the power of friendship then that might be kind of dumb, but at least it's quick to explain and doesn't leave me with the severe sense of cognitive dissonance that numerous moments in this series do. I like that the battles are strategic which probably is in part due to this, but I'm not at all convinced it's entirely dependent on the complexities of the system.
