Optional Skill/Spell Speed modifier

[SamRF]

So FFXIV should change to cater to people coming from other games? FFXIV has a 2.5 GCD because it was designed to have smooth and aesthetically attractive looking skill and spell animations. WoW animations are boring and basic because the GCD is so fast they can't make them last on screen for a long time. Imagine if the GCD was 1.5 or 2s, spells like Flare or Scorch would have to just be basic fireballs that flash for a second and then vanish. With a longer GCD you can have cool looking weapon attacks or elaborate spell animations.

Just an option btw that is turnt off by default and you can turn on/off whenever you want. If the GCD is too fast for the animation you just go into animation lock, as is the case right now with oGCDs.

no you don't get to have it both ways. someone would find a way to cheat the system and have it on when it's not supposed to be.
