Review of the current battle system

[allenshu]

So basically they want to do regular MMO battle mechanics, and i guess all you can hope, is that they do it better than other developers. hmmmmmm sounds like ... bad. ehhh

Speaking of unique or creative battle mechanics, in fact, there is nothing can be called "unique/creative" in the recent auto-attack demo video. It is amusing when thinking this way: If that demo video was showed before FFXIV was released, players with common sense would find out very quickly that it is really nothing but another bland battle mechanics. It is even more amusing to know that SE deliberately put two new action models and change the BGM to cover the fact that what they showed is one out-of-date battle mechanics (and it worked to "the majority").

the 2 new battle animations were the best part of what they showed. But i guess people will argue that it was just an AA video, and the interesting changes are coming, but looking back at matsuis post, he is essentially saying, i plan on using standard MMO systems, but i hope to make it good.

I just hope there's more to it for PUG...it left me wanting.
