Trying to get back on the more important point of the responsiveness and movement.

Now I admit I haven't played WoW seriously in a very long time, but just remember how when you pressed something, it instantly happened and you instantly received feedback. There was no unnecessary extra movement. There is some real quality work done there that I really wish FFXIV ARR had. Even Guild Wars 2 feels a bit better.

If you were on the fire and you moved, unless you had some lag, you know you were in or out of the fire with nearly 100% visual accuracy. WoW just has this responsive feel that it always got right but FFXIV ARR to this day hasn't.


I can't believe more people don't get bothered when you see just some character take one step and they suddenly start doing the moon walk, or a character moving that is sliding in a circle all while facing one direction, you can't even tell what direction they're gonna go next or in what direction they were trying to move towards in the first place. It looks so incredibly awkward and confusing and I hope the devs can make this improvement one day.
