FF14:ARR reminds me A LOT like Aion

[Buddhsie]

This is beyond moronic.

The combat system uses an easy action bar setup for abilities and weapon skills to accomodate fast-paced combat.
The combo system adds a dynamic to the battle allowing for movement around the target, timing of weapon skills, using particular skills together and adding effects to these skills.
The limit break system allows characters to combine their skills, creating yet another dynamic.
The incapacitation effect adds a dynamic by targeting the enemy with a particular weapon skill from a particular angle.

Is there something about 13 levels above facepalm for the comments about button mashing?

What they said they intended to remove was v1.x's combo system's reliance on position - I believe PvP was mentioned as the reason. That is, for instance, where a combo would only trigger for a particular action if that action was executed from behind the target.. now in v2.0, it needn't be used from any particular angle for the combo to go off.

Which is a shame, I think.

From what I remember, they said the side requirement will still be there, but only for the initial WS in the combo. The following skill can be launched from anywhere.
