Famitsu FFXIV vol 1 summer 2011

Adjustments to battle to make battle duration for same level mob should be about 40 seconds each battle, if good gear about 30 seconds each.

30-40 seconds per battle is too much time. Should be no more than 20 for a monster that's the same level UNLESS you're going to balance SP appropriately.

I hope they also take downtime into account. It won't be fun if we have to stop every few fights to stand in place for 2 minutes waiting for our HP/MP to recharge.

Or maybe they'll give us a way to "grind" levels that isn't an actual grind.

Thats how it feels for me solo all the time + standard mobs seem to hit incredibly hard, pretty rough to solo grind decently. Definately hope they balance out mobs and the SP they give.

Also im very glad they are considering adding Thief into the game, i couldnt even call this an FF game if it lacks alot of those classic classes in the future, summoner, blue mage, time mage, red mage etc... especially summoner, it just isnt FF without summoner.

I would love that, but im sure alot of people will disagree unfortunately.

Wait that feels kinda wrong. A monster your level is decapitated in 20 seconds? Does that mean the monster will decapitate you instead in 20 seconds if you sneeze?

I mean it's all SP in the end, but it feels wrong to dumb it down to that level were genociding is the name of the game.

This would be ideal. I think people's aversion to this is because no one has been able to do it right, so they'd rather just have a standard grind that they know will work properly.

And here's where we go back to the old "things were so much better before the Enix merger" philosophy, because SquareSoft made a game that did not involve grinding experience points to advance your character (Chrono Cross).
