Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

[Malakhim]

How was the auto-attack initiated? Will we be able to pick which attack is automated or will the standard first attack for each class be its auto?

Being able to switch between active and passive on the move is nice though. Sucks that they have to delay it.

Here's to hoping it actually IS a juicy patch.

Also poor gobbies always getting the pointy end of the stick...

Seems like you'll toggle one of your basic attacks as your auto.

Things I noticed in this video.

* Passive to Active Attack Mode is smooth now... but the animation is not there yet which they said will be implemented
* New redone weapon skill animations
* Auto-Attack is slower but does significantly more damage.
* New redone weapon skills

That's all I can tell from the video. Looks good though from what I've seen so far and i'm actually glad they are pushing the patch back one month basically to make sure it's all mint.

I have a question about the lancer skill at the end, was that Chaos thrust or maybe something new? It was very pretty.

Over all I'm happy about this battle video, knowing TP remains is all Myself and my friends were concerned about. I'm curious about how they'll treat skills that rely on stamina like Tranquility or Second wind.

It was Chaos Thrust.

Marginally longer recast timers?

I'm guessing they will remain the same they already had recast timers the stamina system was just more of an hindrance than the timer itself.

Second wind is a TP skill. Cost 250 TP
Maybe they increase the TP cost a bit to 500?

Hope not~~~

Perhaps! Though certain skills or spells also had stamina costs, I don't pay attention to it when I'm playing Conjurer, but if Cure's recast was set any higher things might get silly. NOT TO SAY I'M AGAINST IT~. Just saying, it's kind of exciting to main heal a party while weakened.

However some moves like Lancer's speed surge that raises amount of stamina regenerated, what would it do instead? Increase attack speed ala haste, or just remove the regeneration entirely?

it could be an haste buff or they could completely remove the skill they said some skills would be removed and swapped around.
