I wish I could experience the 1.23 combat

Personally prefer 1.23 combat system too. It was much closer to what I expect of FF MMO combat than what we have in 2.0.

Opinions: Slower is better than faster if done right, 1.23 combat is less hectic and has more weight to it. The 2.0 combat just feels...shallow, too flashy.

I think this is the biggest problem right here... New gen gamers vs old gen gamers. Most of the people I know are from FFXI/FFXIV1.0, and played FF from when it was early in the series if not very beginning, so we have a certain mindset of how combat goes in FF games. Meanwhile, we have the new kids now growing up on WoW, Tera, Aion, plus more action-oriented games on consoles - which have an entirely different mindset.

This game tried to invite both, and ended up as we are now lol... I personally have cancelled my sub until I hear about more depth added to the game. It just doesn't feel like a FF yet, though if everything have planned comes through it should be nice about a year from now (seeing how things keep being pushed off).
