magic charge bar: Is this a glitch or is this really necessary?

[Answa]

my point is that you shouldnt have to time anything. just visually watch your charge bar and when its finished you cast your next spell.
its magic 101 in every other video game i know of.
this systems timing is near blind because it doesnt make entire use of the charge bar like it should. it renders it partially useless.

oh and no it isnt closer to FFXI casting system because i played an endgame healer for almost five years and i never once had to wait for my hands to return to idle mode in order cast spells in succession.

You had to wait for a visual cue, the same as here. I played SMN for 7~8 years on FFXI, as well as SCH, BLU, etc. So don't give me that.

I never look at charge bars, because that's ridiculous. You get used to the timing, the rhythm, and that's it.

If you're not capable of this, well... tough luck?
