A Big Failure in FFXIV Battle system - You're doing it wrong man!

[toootooo]

A simple answer: it's Boring, boring , and Boring!

I import FFXIII-2 and the battle is really fun, fast, sparkling!

I don't care it's offline game or online game, it's has to be fun in order to attract people to play.

Some say adding more content will save this game. Hell no i don't think so.
The battle pace in FFXIV is getting slower and slower.

1.19 shine a bit for a while becuz Ifrit is fun/fast to kill. Also You can zerg the hell out of stronghold. And yes I felt good about it.

What wrong with 1.20? OMG battle pace is slow again! Even Tanaka 11111 idea is better than this.

Sorry this is what MOST of the player(young player) want nowadays. And see what current Dev team is changing this game into?

YOU are doing it Wrong man! Wake up or you gonna kill V2.0 which is SE & Fanboy's last hope.

Um.. the end.

The OP's post has distinct troll-like qualities. But your point is taken.

I will agree that the pace of battle seems a bit toned down, at least when not using/not able to use combo's.

how ever when you are utilizing them, stuff blows up nice and big like.

The battle pace is slow I agree.

ITT: Invigorate and combos, how do they work.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

i agree is kind of slow.

Players like the OP ust not have figured out how to use combos yet. If you cannot figure out how to use every combo, solo, the battle system is slow. But, I fail to see how you can consider this to be slow once you learn your class.

This game is definitely lacking content, but I agree 120% that the pace of battle, even with combos, still feels relatively sluggish. It also doesn't help that outside of Primal Battles enemies are paper thin punching bags that don't seem to require even the slightest bit of strategy to overtake.

I think one of my favorite aspects of FFXIII and FFIV DS is that even the lowliest of mob can still end you if you aren't careful. I remember fighting the dual behemoths that you'd occasionally deal with on the Moon in FFIV DS and getting hammered. It wasn't until I thought "hang on a sec, let me try berserk!" and low and behold, downed SOBs.

Every single battle needs to test your skill as a player. An auto-attack system and static SP don't provide that feeling of satisfaction.
