Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

[Betelgeuzah]

A quick note regarding the comments about the slow auto-attack speed presented in the video, etc. In line with the comments made in Matsui's Battle Reform Blueprint, this is only the first wave of the auto-attack implementation with the second wave including the motion/animation updates and adjustments.

There's a small issue I'm slightly confused with. Maybe it is intentional, but it's hard to understand what the scope of motion adjustments is. Some posts make it sound like the adjustments will mostly change how auto-attack animations function, others make it sound like all close-range skills and even spells are getting the same treatment.

Not sure just how much you're willing to say, but at least knowing whether the largest adjustments will rotate around auto-attack or if there's something larger-scale in store would help. I see that at least active/passive mode is receiving motion-adjustment with 1.18.

I wouldn't mind the wait on everything else, but the combat aesthetics play quite a large role in my current gripes with the combat system.

This is a huge relief - especially when you consider this atrocity: image.

I dunno, that looks pretty badass to me. It's like even friction can't stop my Gladiator.

It's a FF11 easter egg!

It's funny to see a character can pull out his sward while running but they didn't add the animation yet, so he just slide on the ground

just taking out the stop is a major plus. they can work on different animations for different weapons/races later.

Can we get an idea of what auto-attack might look like with stuff like double/tripple attack, an OAx weapon, or most importantly, some haste gear?
