I am thinking that it might be good to animate the icons for actions that will lead to a combo so as to make it stand out what should be pressed.
Before someone shouts "Easy mode!", there can always be an achievement reward for "Expert Play", such as "Perform 1000 combos without visual aid."
This way, new players can have some help to adjust to the FFXIV system while shutting the "elites" up.
Add: Bleh! grammar screwed up on title and can't fix it.
I think that already happens. Look at the Combo screenshot and there's some purple outlines on 2 of the skills on the bar.
talking about action bar and combos, i wanna be able to add macros to action bar, that, or shortcut to a macro on the ui.
^^^That is coming at some point but I'm not sure when. The 2.0 screenshot had macros on the action bar (it's the slots that had a gear icon next to them).
On a slightly unrelated note, I hope at some point that defensive skills such as Phalanx, Fracture and Haymaker will only light up when you have enough TP AND the appropriate defensive action has been taken.
