Auto-attack is a step backward.

[Amused]

I loved FFXI and I'm all for making this game more like an HD version of FFXI but this is one of those features that I think is just dated. Especially an auto-attack system like the one in XI. Auto-attack makes the player even less involved and you ultimately end up just watching your character more often than you are actually playing.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying the current system is spectacular but it's definitely miles ahead of an auto-attack system.

I can't be the only one who feels this way. I'm very afraid for the future of this game if the auto-attack change goes through.

Try telling that to Yoshi with his head in the clouds, LOL.

Now there's an excercise in futility.

FFXIV it's not action mmo, and Auto-attack is necessary.

I agree. But i believe the problem is the dumb stamina bar. But Auto-attack is something we need.

out of 14 ffs, only 2 of them had auto attack, and only 1 of them didnt give you the option not use it. Auto Attack is not required a part of tradional rpg formula

Actually, traditional rpg sometimes has an "Auto battle" mechanic which wasn't always smartly scripted. FF wise, a few of the remakes incorporated an Auto Battle mechanic as well.

so auto attack, is like auto battle? whose only purpose was to play the game for you if you found it to tedious to kill things? honestly id rather them just create a autobattle/bot option than forcing every one to auto attack all the time.

They probably should add a voice option, or a speech2text option because auto attack really isnt the best battle system, people who were spamming 1 never learned the way you re supposed to play the game, though i will say battle was pretty involved when you did it right, making it less involved and more like automated play for everyone, is a bad idea

I agree, seems lame. Although if they do it like WoW nobody will ever use it. But if they do it like FFXI, super lame.

So in other words, either way they implement it, it's still a pointless feature.

SE sure is fond of wasting time.
