More action oriented combat! ~no auto-attack~

[Rokien]

Ya, I know, that's why I said this thread was probably pointless. Though, moving backwards while other mmos are trying to move forwards, is beyond me D:. Don't get me wrong, I love this game, just I feel they took a 10 year step backwards.

I always supported the old battle system...and always was against the FFXI-like AA or the battle changes other than new animations...so i agree with OP.

I miss the original FFXIV mechanics...hopefully it will make a return as a spin-off game since they're already completely different games!

Would be a dream being able to go back to original FFXIV...specially if that patch adding interdisciplinary leves, party-based local leves and hamlet defense were also live by then! /o/

I think everyone's opinion would have been different if they had less bugs, and more stuff at launch. *cough*jobs*cough*

[Rokien]

From what I've gathered from the OP
-I like action packed games
-I believe FFXIV should include more real time brawling action
-I like to have more epic cutscenes
-I just wanted to state my opinions, not an actual suggestion or feedback.
So, basically to sum it up, I'm getting this from the OP
[/url]

-no, I would be a CoD whore if I was. I also, don't think this game would work as a hack and slash, I can play Vindictus for that, and I do. If you would play blade 'n soul, you would see!
-Yes, real time/semi-real time can give more depth to the game.
-Yes, my favorite game is MGS4(Yes, It's a hybrid)
-Yes, because it's too late for feedback. The players have spoken with the player poll. I for one, was against it~

Now you are demanding the franchise to have actually good gameplay? You are 10 years too late for that.

It is telling that a franchise with superior gameplay (Tales of) is vastly outsold by franchise with no gameplay (Final Fantasy). It is also telling that the "fans" want the franchise to go back to not having any gameplay like "the good JRPG's of the generation" (Lost Odyssey).

It is a hole that was not dug only by the developers but the fans who don't know what they want. Fans that put tradition on a pedestal while sacrificing gameplay in the process.

Betel you are either trolling or just ignorant if you think Tales of games have better combat than FF games cause they don't, they use the same tactics as FF does.

Spam attacks, nuke the mobs ele weakness and spam heal's to stay alive there are no real start's in tales game's except outliving your enemy.

As to this thread i think FF 14 combat is gonna be like Xenoblade where lot of skills are position based.

Basically the 3 chars you see are Shulk with the glowing sword he is like an CRT atk DD char/positional fighter

Then you have Ryan he has an gun lance with like an shield built onto it he is an Tank/DD

Then you have Sharla who is an Gunner/support/healer class.

who the hell just spams 1111111 anyway? there are other numbers and abilities to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

to this day i dont understand the whole "dont like mashing 111" argument. it literally makes no logical sense to me. i never mashed 1 at all in this game. not once.

[Rokien]

Nor did I, people in the past just didn't know how to play the game!~

[Shneibel]

or dont have enough mmorpg exp to suggest a idea ?

either way, I am not gonna post anything about other game in here because GM have already say : bla bla bla keep it FXIV.

hint: if you look at the new mmorpg title, I believe some of the new title, are spam 1.1.1.1.1.1 or 2.2.2.2. or 3.3.3.3.3, the different is they fix the system for better gameplay which is not the same as FFXIV spam attack at the early day

[Dreadnought]

the battle system would have been fine as it was without the stamina bar.
what is with the hair up SEs ass thinking a single fight with 1 regular field mob needs to take 5 friggen minutes to kill?

Because you put light attack action on 2 xDDD
j/k... :P
Now, seriously, if we are going to use light attacks anyway during the fight why don't we just make them auto? It's not that every action is now auto... just 1 over 25+ per class... plus auto-attack doesn't stop you for using/chain any other other action so why are there still people mad about it? What is it that you can't do with auto-attack system now? o.O
