~Poll~ Longer fights <Do you want it?>

[Rutelor]

From the very beginning, with Tanaka's old, ridiculous, and amorphous leve battle system, I've been writing and hoping for considerably longer fights across the board. Back then, in party, my mage would not even manage to cast one spell successfully on most of the mobs, before they were dead, and my MRD would sometimes not manage to plant one blow. Since then, the tempo of the fighting in this game has been unsatisfactorily fast to me, and more importantly, the feel of the fighting, quite perfunctory.

I also happen to think (and this is a minority opinion, apparently) that leveling is currently way too fast. I have expressed this continuously in several threads, quite a few started by me, through the last year. And no, I don't want the choice to be ours, and I don't want a mixture, unless it is of challenging and hard. Does anyone remember the "tough" feel from mobs that rated thus in XI? Which party looked for "decent challenge", or for "even match"?

I'm right with you! ^.^

someone should make a poll asking if the leveling is too fast

Leveling is only "too fast" if you get powerleveled or have a near full party.

Leveling is stupidly too fast w/o being PL'd. No reason people should have capped every class within such a short period of time. Hell in XI It took me a year and a half to hit 75 on SMN. (Granted there were alot of reasons behind that, but still around 4-6 months depending on job is about the norm for my 7 75's.) And i'm not talking that abyssea crap, god please keep XIV away from that garbage.
