ACTION RPG aproaching

[Fionlagh]

Im probally in the minority here, but i prefer a slower, tactical style of combat, over a twitch based combat.
i want to be able to eyeball not only what im doing but what my comrades are doing. i most definately dont want to stare and click at my UI or have to install add ons that basically put me on auto-pilot. ive watched friends play faster paced mmo's, some look like arcade style fighting, all i see is pew pew pew ... pew pew pew... i dunno.. i just remember my favorite fights being the ones were i saw the tide turn, or just a cool move being pulled off by a team mate. just sayin,, there is such a thing as too fast.. isnt there?

In an MMO setting, i agree.
But with everything (music for example) there will continue to be fusion among fusion of genre's & sub-genres.

As long as it remains fun at the end of the day, i can handle sacrificing a few things in my comfort zone.
FF14 feels like a good mix between FF11 & Most other MMO's in terms of combat speed.


EDIT: I'm also fed up with the cheap 1-shotting aspects FF14 keeps presenting as well. I hope they rework stats again come 2.0.
