Combat still too slow. We need a shorter Global Cooldown!

I think if anything the GCD could do with being a little slower, I like the strategic elements present when you actually have to think about every move. Also I think animation lock should be kept, letting people use multiple skills or cast multiple spells simultaneously is just stupid.

Really? You need to think about your decision after you have done your rotation hundreads of times? Do you dislike learning that much?
I swear... the lack of vision is astouding. This game is not turn based. That is not an ATB bar. An ATB bar depends on your stats and works in a design where you have 3 or 4 characters so you can focus on different strategies on each one, not when you only have one character. This is why the Final Fantasy brand is in the state it is... because some people just eat anything up.

Theres other MMO's in the market. We are not in a little FF bubble here. The game will never get competitive with this kind of feedback.

Many of the fights and soloing situations I find myself in wouldn't be manageable with animation lock. The adjudicator alone would be far more difficult, and primals would require a crystal ball for mages. Do a healer limit break during these fights and you can see where it can go wrong.

These fight mechanics simply do not allow for many animation locks.
