Hell, every square is five feet. And because you can't enter another person's square, it means that everyone has a five foot bubble around them instead of being right up next to each other. Why doesn't that hurt the suspension of disbelief, that there's five feet between two guys grappling?

Why? Because it's not supposed to be realistic. It's just a framework to hang the rules on, it's not supposed to simulate anything except the barest notion of distances and positioning.

Squares, hexes, a grid formed out of little bunnies - I don't care.
I, too, am hoping someone can elaborate on the difficulty with the squares because, like Rechan, I just don't get that complaint at all. I don't doubt its an issue for the original poster, but it is a complaint that I just don't understand.
