XI's battles lasts mere seconds outside of Voidwatch and certain Abyssea NMs.

"You can beat your average monster with about 5 or 6 weapon skills, so your typical battle wraps up in around 15 or 20 seconds."

Yep, no longer fights... darn.

I had value info, what, you want me to create a whole new thread? Also, you just bumped it again, why don't you stop!? YA!?! Good deal!

Honestly, the current average battle time is, like, 4 seconds. I'd say 20 is quite the improvement

Which sadly from recent interviews he stated level "not so correction" will retain, so mobs a handful of levels over you will still one shot you and vice versa like 1.0.

I think that's silly, I think if you are well geared and have a full party you should be able to take them down within a few minutes of time.

And I disagree. I like it how it is, it's how almost every FF did it before.

Only if you overleveled -- Most FFs the second you got to a new area and you were slightly under leveled or at the right level battles didn't take seconds simply because of mob HP increase or turning prior bosses into regular enemies lol.

Oh, I was more responding to his comment about levels. I'm all for longer fights, I just don't think a group of level 50's should be able to knock down a (for example) level 75 mob at all no matter how long it takes. Assuming you don't leash abuse that is.
It takes away the sense of "I'm a baddie and I can kill anything" and puts you in your place in the world.
