Not even close. People have mathed out a bunch of FF14's job rotations and at worst they can reach upwards of 40 cpm, whereas something as simple as a fireball in games like that is comprised of 3-4 button inputs, and some combo chains can reach upwards of 10-20 inputs within a few seconds. For one combo chain. Across a 60 second round comprised of a ton of these combo chains.

I've watched my bf play fighting games before, and I can guarantee you he's pressing 3-4x as many buttons in those games per minute than he ever would in FF14, even factoring in guarding. FF14 is pretty slowmode in comparison.
