Quote:That is kinda neat. But it shows the pointlessness of that kind of rpg, don't you think? That you can literally keep it on "auto"? What's left to play, then? Pressing the button to go through text?
There's a lot of text. :) And running around on the world map, of course... that can't be automated... but yes, if you automate the battles it would get a bit boring. Which is why I just did it when I was in the other room and coming back every couple minuites to build up a large amount of gold so I could restore that city. :Needed 400,000. No way am I going to play through all that myself...
This isn't the first console RPG with auto-battle, either... they have auto-battle stuff in all of the Lunar games. I don't use it much, though, because the computers are a bit too free with their spell usage...
