Clearly, I'm not going to start reprogramming and rehashing on the basis of a few disgruntled people with the most bizarre complaints ever. You are free to use the mod or not - but I am not going to cater to your whims. I'm free to make this mod how I see fit.
...
It's unfathomable to me how anyone can look at all the benefits in the changes, pick out a few ridiculous niggles, and then come here demanding change. I'd use stronger words, but then I'd be moderated again.
Whoa, I just want to be clear that I didn't/don't intend to sound indignant or demanding in any way, and if I did I truly apologize. My intent was to test and elaborate on what Tails said, since I wasn't sure what he meant at first. As you say, it is your mod that you can do what you please with, and I'm grateful that it exists at all. This is easily one of my favorite modding projects that exists.
That said, I completely disagree that these complaints are bizarre or outlandish at all. Looking back, the only thing I regret/changed on is calling the menu transitions a "big issue" in bold, and saying that you should necessarily fix it in the next release.
As for the speed, I am not sure what exactly you're seeing but it isn't in line with what I am - or the vast majority of people. Not only is menu access the same speed for items, when using page up and down, it's actually faster - as it has 4 items per page and not 3. Clearly, your install isn't right.
As far as I can tell, the only thing he could've meant by 'slow menu' is the menu transitions taking a fraction of a second, rather than being nearly instantaneous as he's used to.
You state it's a fraction of a second different for opening menus (due to making it smooth transition) and yet you seem to think this translates to losing or winning a battle. Utter nonsense.
I'm not going to be changing it.
Unless the battle logic is paused/unaffected by the pause caused by smooth menu transitions, then it absolutely could cost you a battle, especially if the enemy has strong enough attacks, or if your team is set-up poorly, or if you just make a human mistake. Now, I practically agree with you that this is a trivial non-issue, but for someone like Tails apparently it is. I don't think his experience is invalid, unless he was mistaken in some way.
Also, you never addressed the lack of the red-triangle 'all' indicator. Is there a rational behind removing this? Whatever the reason, it is similarly a small/trivial issue, but I don't think it can be denied that it provides useful information at a glance. Its absence means you have to scroll over a spell to verify it has 'all', or you have to remember which spells have it.
I hope the 'stronger words' bit didn't have to do with making constructive criticism and suggesting optional features. Again, I'm gonna go out of my way to say that I find all of these issues trivial in the grand scheme. This mod(pack?) is huge and has far more benefits and features than I'm even aware of. My nitpicks are made out of love and a desire for the project to be as complete and appealing to the most people as possible.
