I just plain don't like the current battle system...

This also depends on how far you are from japan, I don't tend to get as much lag as those in the east coast. Honestly every game has this, if you want to play WoW in Europe you will get more lag, they do have european servers I dont get why they are not as great. Square Enix has servers in California (they did for back up for XI) they should implement some of their servers in California to fix this lag problem for the U.S., and if Euros have one too use Square Enix Europe in France.

That is a nice idea, but you know how hell-bent they are on allowing people from different regions the ability to play together. To put in different servers regionally would be to force people to either connect to the closest server or put up with the distance lag if they wanted to play with people from different regions. I suppose cloning is an option, but they would need some massive bandwidth to have regional clones that constantly sync up with the home servers. Since I am involved in a linkshell with both NA and EU players, that would put all of us in a tough spot.

This wouldn't hurt people's ability to play together, Selbina isn't all on one physical server, neither is Saronia or Palmecia...etc. Every world is on multiple servers. So having servers in U.S. and Europe would not affect the ability to play together at all. If you don't understand what I"m saying look up WoW's servers (i hate that game but the way they did there servers is how all mmos are doing them now, and FFXIV adapted to this) Of course I think WoW does separate by region? I've never played, but using this system you don't have to separate by region if you don't want.

I feel the same in the battlesystem there is no need for any bigger changes when you rank up

All just standing waiting for next behest its so easy so fast no need to chnge your abilities i just play same setup for my pug and tha

Behest is way to easy and no tactics at all all you do hit the mob weaponskill then to next no need to have any setup thats is the problem i think

Many people want it easy also i think but they could have done 2 versions of behest one hard for people who wanna use there abilities and skills and one for people who just wanna do it easy spam hit and WS and cure

One other version where you have to use right abilities and focus i hope for some real action where you have battles who is fun and exciting
