Alpha Video 5 - 3 sec GCD combat seems slow

GCD being done before you end casting spells is different than GCD being 0. If it was 0 you could chain spam WS's until you rank out od TP in 30 seconds. I know they said it will become lower, but not 0, as that would've been broken.

Once again how can you chain spam ws if you still casting the first spell/ws? by the time the spell/ws is done doing it's thing the OCD would be over then you can cast the next spell/ws you cant' really just do WS or spell top of other you have to wait for the spell/ws to be done just like FFXIV 1.0 version where if i do the long WS from DRG i can get hit by plumes and such from ifrit so it was best to wait for a opening.

And like i said people going to bitch and cry like little kids to make srue the GCD is pretty much useless at high level that they would take it off.

That all i'm saying...

Because the way most games are designed, the animation coincides with the length of the GCD. So regardless of animation, not having a gcd would allow you to chain spells and abilities. XI was a good example of that too, because there were many abilities that you could use in succession without seeing the entire animation, they were usually self-target buffs though.

Yes but not talking about FFXI am i talking about 1.0 Version where you had to wait for the animation to be done before you could even use the next ws which sucked ass for ifrit fight. But i see GCD being lower down because people crying over it that just my point anything SE make people going to dislike and they may change it and make the game a spam fest.
