I absolutely agree. I love the game, but it is incredibly frustrating to constantly have to micromanage my party movement due to lack of formations. For example, when I want to throw a health potion on all the party members at once after a big battle, I need to micromanage them into a specific formation or the potion might miss someone. It would be very convenient if I could just click a button and get the formation I need - instead of spending 2-3 minutes positioning everyone in a perfect square.
Or when I am walking in a trap infested area, it would be nice if you could choose to put some distance between the characters and make them walk in a line behind you. The way the current and only formation works makes it incredibly easy to activate a trap by accident. A simple formation could easily remedy this problem.
These are just two scenarios where formations would definitely help - not to mention how this would make it easier to prepare for battle ahead.
