Give people easymode and they'll get used to it, and cry when the game finally becomes balanced. Sad but true.

I like it. I like it alot.
I love that stats are effective.
The materia concept is magnificent.
XP link is great.
I can see why the community is all a rage. How dare those evil devs add so many good ideas in one update.
God I like battling post-1.19 so much better than I did before. Enemy levels make sense now. Everything is smoother, and the actions I input happen when I expect them to happen. I spend less time fighting the interface and more time fighting the mob. This is definitely the direction I want Final Fantasy XIV to go in.
Working as intended. Pretty obvious that people will not be as upset about it later as people will get used to it or leave.
I'm really loving this change. Everyone just needs to adapt a bit, don't continuously try to attack mobs 8 levels above you and rage that the game is broken. Just step it down a notch and kill things maybe your level or slightly higher and get large chains. leves are VERY easy to do this with now that you actually chose the exact level of the mobs. I always chose to have the mobs be my level or as close to it while being higher, allowing me to not get mowed down, still have fun, and get nice chains^^
So everyone please, just try to approach things differently, get new gear (which you probably need if you are now wearing dated gear) start messing with materia, and stop attacking things that shouldn't have been soloable in the first place.
