Also we don't need that many lines. Just tell us exactly how much time is left on the cooldown.

Oh.. if only. This is why I loved XII so much. It was basically scripting built into the battle system.
I thought we have a command in this game to give the time left on a cooldown. Let me poke through commands. I'll edit/update if I find it. ...and yeah, it's be object-oriented-ish in my example. I'd say it'd work great client-side, but with latency aka squeenix lag, it'd probably miserably fail.
Considering the by design positional update lag is so the PS3 can even run this game, at least I think so, Â yeah it couldn't handle this properly.
The crappy positioning is likely to reduce server-side laod/bandwidth in my opinion. ...much lighter on a server if it doesn't need constant connections. ...the issue of course, is that if there's a network hiccup or if the server gets overloaded.....well, we see it often. Sending 0 and Receiving 0.
