Hi Evgeny,

Thanks for a quick answer!
Sounds great that the game will be moddable and include editors.

I probably should have worded my question a bit differently, as the "issues" I have with kill-rates and unit speeds in some games are due to my personal prefences more than anything else and is not necessarily shared by the majority of customers.

It's impossible to satisfy everybody, so the real issue here is whether a game will allow the player the ability to fine-tune the gameplay to his/her own prefences, either through in-game settings or high moddability.
If XIII allows extensive modding of the combat model (as I understood from your answer) everything will be fine from my standpoint and I will no doubt buy the game.

By the way, any update on an expected release date? (I know you're probably tired of this question, but please bear with me...)
