I've been thinking lately in the time I spend trying to be unproductive, what the fuck is the point of a defense option in RPGS? How many of us have honestly used the defense option in a tactical sense on a random battle? Sure there are some games where you see an enemy charging an attack so you know its gonna be big so you brace yourself and defend, but usually there is a way for you to cancel out his attack or the the HP you save while defending is so nominal that you would have been better off doing something offensive. I can't think of any RPG I've played where it was imperative to my survival in the game to use the defend option, or where it was actually a viable useful action. But I think the most ridiculous thing is how 20+ years in gaming and there has still not been a significant change to this option in RPGs and developers still continue to add in this option.
Wat.
