because they want to make the game more casual to appeal to a larger audience after tasting the success of Awakening (actually I have have never even seen this game you're talking about and am making stuff up)

Of course impatience is the reason the animations are bad. It's great that you can enjoy the animations, but not everyone can, especially after the first run through the game, so the ability to TOGGLE them on or off is kind of essential. Forcing the player to wait, unable to do anything, for an extended period of time, is always bad design. The other FE games either do not have this problem at all or have it to a much lesser extent, so it stands out all the more for FE9.

The inability to turn animations off is far and away the worst part of FE9 and makes it so that the best thing to do during enemy phase is to get up and go make a sandwich. If it were optional, it would have been fine and even good (see: FE10). But it's clearly something detrimental that should be counted against it. Now, whether or not it's part of "gameplay" and so should be counted against it in this particular list is up for debate, depending on what all we're calling "gameplay".

yes though I'm starting to prefer the almost-no-one-has-any-res-at-all way of handling magic, which this doesn't seem to have

hm It was probably for debates

what, seriously? Mystic Shot critting would be incredibly broken. Is it a consistent bug? or some rare off-chance thing

so I can know how useful/useless skill, luck, and the like are For some reason I can't find it on this site. may as well give crit, avoid, and crit evade rates while you're at it. thanks in advance

Oh, that gave me an idea. They could have it be live action (or animated in some form, doesn't matter too much) and have the characters in the war room, around the strategy map, discussing their plans for the upcoming important battle, and then cut to scenes of action on the battlefield, maybe portraying some kind of strategic strike, like fording a river under the cover of night to attack an enemy encampment or something. You get the idea. There's no reason it can't look cool while showing things that actually happen in the games.
