FF14 is not made for hardcore players.

I just wish core game mechanics required more than one braincell. You want to tank? Turn on your tank stance and DPS and never worry about aggro. You want to heal? Too bad there's no constant party damage and most mechanics are easily predictable/avoidable so you just DPS.

I'm not saying the game should be hardcore because it shouldn't, but it's really dumbed down.

I would imagine that the pacing the game has, is because if it had as fast paced gcd's and damage done/received as other mmo's usually have, a good majority of control pad users would struggle to switch hot bars to rotate dps/tanking/heals abilities with their physical pad button combos they need to do , as well as dodge mechs.


If this was a PC only mmo with KYBD+ mouse only in mind , I would expect it to be a faster paced game
