Alpha First Look: Video 7 – Levequests and Party Combat

[Firon]

A game being slow or fast does not make it more tactful, but i could hardly call any FF before 11/14 tactful tho cause most of them was lol faceroll with attack/cure spam. Most these people saying they like slow combat is prolly the ones who played FF 7-9 on wait mode >.>.

Original FFXIV's combat was a bit slower, but at the high-end, not even really. If you fought Nael on hard mode, you were expected to be on the ball using everything as soon as possible; there was no standing around going "hmm, which should I use next? :D". The only thing that held you back from pushing your limits was the game's system, which is not an issue now.

I don't get it. I really don't...People are complaining that a three second Global Cooldown makes the pace of battles too slow....and now they are saying it's a fast paced spamfest?

Time to add another thread to the folder of contradictions within the forums community.

I really enjoyed that music.

When animation blending and physics is implemented I really hope that twitching gets toned down on monsters lol.

I made a post a while back about this very topic; I cant stand how the enemies bounce around like they do when they get hit. It looks terrible!!!

Alpha is alpha. They already said many times that animations weren't final and weren't fully done, but properly constructed negative feedback would still be useful for them.

It's actually a LNC tank! Remember, only one melee class in Alpha.

I can't wait to see the finished version of the game, this already looks better than a lot of released games.

ok i know its just alpha but that casting animation is hideous! and what jobs can you play in alpha all i see are arcs, cnj, and lncs. Are there any other jobs?
