Would you play FFXIV if it had action combat?

I would quit instantly.

That being said. Would ya'll stop bumping threads from years ago.

I blame Expansion Thursday for increased poster silliness.

If I wanted to play an Action MMO I would play Tera or any other Action MMO.
I don't want that so no. If they do that I would quit ... It's not my kind of game. (action game in general)

Edit: wow ok, that bump ...

Yeah, it's the speed bump from hell, including the whiplash...

if it plays like dark souls or Dragon's Dogma all of my yes.

[Rhivryn]

If it played like Kingdom Hearts II, Kingdom Hearts; Birth by Sleep, or the PSP DIssidias, then yes in a heart beat.

Action Combat is unfriendly for high ping and lag.

[EdwinLi]

ya.... no.

As fun action combat is there are also known issue with Action combat when put into MMOs.

Among them is the most noticable Heavy Sponge HP Enemies and Boss. Ya you can go happily running around and clicking dodge skills but the rate the Hp goes down so slowly just because they need to make the action combat of Hard battles against bosses and dangerous mobs does become very tedious especially when it reach a point when developers think making these type of boss being able to one hit KO players if they don't time their reaction right becomes a very annoying mechanic due to slight connection issues.

It also becomes a very serious spam fest with these Heavy HP bosses to a point the "best tactic" is to lure them into a corner and keep spamming every single attack button as fast as possible until this Boss's Hp hit zero in 15 minutes due to mass skill spam.

Can you really call the "best strategy" to handle heavy HP bosses just making it and the Tank sit in a corner just so everyone can spam skills in the corner "action combat"?

I love action combat like in Tera Online, there was no such thing as Global Cooldown and that made things a lot more exciting. I find GC very boring, I can press skills with my mouse here. In Tera Online you had to keep moving in both pvp and pve and press skills/spells at the same time in order to survive. I was a healer as a main there, there was no such thing as standing still and healing your party members in dungeons.

I actually miss that.

Yeah the combat system is literally one of the only complaints I have about this game. I mean it's 2017 and there's still global cooldowns and no casting while moving. whaat?

I'm not 16 anymore with a million APM and .0001s twitch reflexes...so no, I like FF14 as my "slow and methodical" MMO.

i LOVE action combat systems. but i'm fine with my white mage. i would never play any kind of dps or tank because of the battle system FF14 has, but a healer feels just right.

damn...

2 years later i am sitting here and playing a tank as main class...
