This is what peak gameplay looks like

Hard to say if that is supposed to be ironic or not. But if not, that just seems like mindless button mashing, with active dodging. No offense to B&S, this game seems to attract some niche audience which love it, but just in your video, there are clear red flags for cheap game, with attempts to mask it. Just look at all the camera shake, holy. It takes 11 minutes to kill that scorpion, and all he does are seemingly same "mechanics" that you just need to dodge. Other players are hidden, you can only see their name tags. If you like it, good for you, but there is reason that game isn't mainstream like WoW, GW2 or FFXIV.

But to expand upon it - this kind of dodging will not work with FFXIV server infrastructure which works on basis of potatoes and a lot of duct tape. Secondly, if combat was changed from slow, strict rotation, to 100+ APM button mashing, people will hate that much more than having to use ~33 buttons. When was the last time you've seen MMORPG to completely change not only it's combat, but whole philosophy and flow of it?
