Say No to auto-attack!

[weeble]

i think i know where it's at, i think your looking for aol chat rooms not a game. don't tell me where i need to be, i been playing the ff series since first game at age like 7... auto attack in ffxi was ok till the last few years of it if u even stuck threw the game that long, but it sucked by the end. zombies ..your all zombies lol.

by way i'll be getting gw2 and tera, and i'll stay with this game too if it don't suck but i bet most people will need a good year off of this game b4 it has enough content in it. and by then most of u rooting for auto attack will have left it high and dry. oh wells.

All you FFXI nerd/lovers should get into your time machine and travel back 10 years to the exact game you want this to be.

At this point, why not make auto-attack optional?

the system can't function correctly if it is optional

[ReapKarmah]

It worked in FFXI and it certainly will work in FFXIV. I'm for the Auto-Attack.
Optional is perfectly fine too! After all, who can hate options? :P

quite a few people apparently

well having both options is like chosing controller or wii remote for playing a shooter. they not the same game. plus if just an option i'd probably kick anyone from my group using auto cause i'd deem them lazy asses that are afk. or most would just use it if one or the other became the norm. plus how can u really have manual and auto, doesn't really work having both.

either way, yeah it worked for ffxi but near it's end of life auto attack sucked when people was just tp burning an no weapon chains and bursts. then it was just zombie grinding and no fun. hopefully they fix the br and in a way were we acually use it, but if anything like now? no one is using them for much more then nm's so, eh auto attack will suck and lose it's appeal to most people.

lose it's appeal? You do realize that almost every mmo uses auto attack...right? Even those that are still coming out...and remaining successful...

I would argue that the future releases over the next year and a half will emphasis more action oriented combat. SWOTR is the exception, not the rule... and I haven't heard anything that awe inspiring to judge that the game system will be a success, rather it will be successful because star wars nerds, just like final fantasy ones will salivate for dog shit if it has lightsabers in it.

I find myself losing more and more care to play this game with how much I continue reading.

Why? The auto-attack overhaul taking place alongside other good changes.
