Odd question for former XI players?

[Seraphyna]

I'll admit, for as highly as people talk about FFXI, that sounds really boring. And don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed some really slow combat in games, but that doesn't sound very enjoyable.....

Because they explained it VERY poorly. 11 had skillchains that worked as a party. Meaning different party members needed to perform moves in unison to perform the chain. There were so many that you could do. I really miss blm's ka-booms and then hiding behind the Pld's to save me.
