So, whats left of the original FFXIV?

[ChiefCurrahee]

Lets see:

Beta:
Auto-Attack


Early September release for CE:
Got rid of AA in favor of action


Now:
Auto attack is back because players complained about (moving in battle) ... lolwat?

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!

Alpha: didn't have auto attack. It had Timed attack, You were only allowed to take 1 action every 3-4 seconds, or choose to wait longer for more powerful more accurate attacks. (VERY SLOW!)

Beta: Did away with Timed attack and put in the stamina system, so you could take multiple actions in quick succession as long as you had the stamina to do so. (VERY TEDIOUS!)

Current: Auto attack. which got rid of the need to spam TP building actions to participate in battle. Out of the 3 battle systems what we have currently in my opinion is the best for this game.
