I know that SE is working on a new battle system as we speak, and by the looks of it they are really putting a lot of time, and effort into it. I hope it turns out to be a good - fast paced battle system. The one we have right now, is kinda slow, in responsive, and just not fun to use, and the animations are not as flashy as other FF series. (I think the Battle Animations should be flashy, thus making them catchy and fun to see)

For Example back when I started playing FFXI, I got to level 20 on a Red Mage and walked outside Windurst to a Summoner summoning all his pets, and using their abilities on the weak mobs in the area, the animations were catchy to me, and I instantly fell in love with the class. I quickly leveled my RDM to 30, unlocked Summoner and ended up being one of the top of my server within no time, and the class was awesome to me.

So this thread may be pretty long, but the main point of it was to see what others thought would be good for the new battle system that's currently being worked on.

New Battle System Ideas:
Increased Battle Pace
Flashy Animations (Spells, and Abilities)
Very Responsive
Fun to Use
Make Battle Regimen's have Flashy Animations along with better effects
And that's just to name a few...

What do you think would be some good ideas for the new battle system?
