The new system and the old system. Constrained.

Instead of a stamina bar you'll now have a mini clock ticking down to tell you when you can or can't do something. Personally, I don't see the difference.

It's more then that, since in hindsight (for FF11 and FF14) we know what can and can't be abused to a large extent.

For instance the stamina bar is abused heavily by using animations and casting time. Cure being a prime example.

Cure has a 4 second = animation time with about 1-2 second recast time, but uses stupidly low stamina. Thus, in terms of optimal micro management, if you spam attack(fastest animation) the whole full stamina bar, defend with cure which will allow the free stamina bar charge up time while attaining maximum TP return, you have the best general attack pattern.

This is actually a problem for many of the skills, because we can abuse animation and stamina recovery to our benefit.
