I want NM's to be more lke THIS

More action/movement/coordination/strategy/awesomeness

The tired & old tradition of fighting a stationary emotionless seemingly statue-esque monster will bring down any new MMOs. FFXIV included.



On a positive note, FFXIV has taken a few steps to improve this...

Gigantoad flipping is an example, needs to be improved a little so the animations aren't so wonky.

Great Buffalo is similar.

Monsters just need to move around more, use more interesting and interactable attacks that require maybe moving out of the way. Need to be able to interact more with monsters, cutting tails off etc... already in game just needs to be WAY more prevalent.
