Thread: I wish I could experience the 1.23 combat

I respect that some prefer the somewhat more deeper stat meanings in 1.23 and it's comboing system but I disliked the pace.

It was too slow, you had downtimes, significant ones at that.
I was a MNK in 1.0 to 1.23 and I definitely found it to be way to slow for me.

Positioning meant allot in 1.23 for who ? Monk, Dragoon and ? Who else ? In ARR you have Monk who requires different positioning for several skills and Dragoon which need positioning for some.
Why should that change ? Why should the Tanks have positioning ? Why should the Bards have positioning ? Man don't want to imagine distance Jobs having to position in Titan :P

All in all there are things which where neat in 1.23 but in the end I prefer ARR's pace to 1.23's.

From what a bunch of you are saying, I do agree that gear should have varied stats on them. The way they are now is too much of a linear climb.

I've also seen animations from 1.0 that I would love to see in 2.0. Especially the unique battle stances across races.

Wasn't there a thing at one point where each job class had a certain position and it affected loot drops and had special effects or something?

Seeing that video made me miss the awesome animation quality in 1.23 again. Now I'm sad.
