Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

BR's are definitely poorly implemented. I mean it's not a HORRIBLE idea but, it's boring. It's a skillchain that holds your hand for you. It's like playing a fighting game where you mash one button and it does an entire combo.

Booooooooooooring.

skill chains were gimping people honestly. i enjoyed them but to be able to get them off you had tell everyone else to hold thier tp. (not people even involved in the WS) and tell them not to use their tp even longer until the mb lasts. BR is a much better design, but it could use more effects, and special effects or some unique animations, if it worked like chrono cross where certain combos had special interactions, people would love it.

far as the flow of battle, it depended on the battle, but when you got a good partner, doesnt slow the flow at all.

Thus you get BR with no real tactical depth, and being horribly unbalanced because it's just a dog pile.

Thanks for the video, Devs. Really looking forward to this and the new content!

uhhh you can do small BRs for small situations, if its a dog pile its because people arent on point. it has more tactical depth than sc, you can do debuffs useful to different party set ups, phys def down, magi def down, tp reduction damage boosts. Also you have to make sure your order is right for some. The lack of tactics is the people doing it, not the system, its fairly strong.
doing BR for incapacitations, etc.

i dont understand what facet you are saying is unbalanced either

Thats called strategy and team work it was needed, understood and appriciated in XI, thats what this game lacks as well as so many other things the fact that working together ment more then just mashing the buttons at the same time, you had to communicate with your team to prevail and sometimes that ment not just rambling off ws's at random.
I think strategy is a good thing.
It is fun to have to work together with your friends and knowing that if you didnt it ment you would fail.
This game doesnt have that feel at all.
