Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

I would guess it would increase attack speed.

Oh I forgot to add to my other posts about what I also noticed

* GCD/CD timer + clock animation. Seems like you get both so it's more visible.

Is that... Cait Sith in the background?!

All I see is dodos and the usual things walking around that particular camp.

Was a little nod to the Wings of the Goddess release trailer. Everyone went MENTAL saying "Is that... Cait SITH?!?!", and from then on, on the fan forums, everything new released would be tagged with that line.

Let's get some humor up heyah!

I take the video as a sign that they're working on what we want them to be working on. Don't act like every update is the final update. They have a lot more to do and they know it. This is a good start. We want auto attack and different battle animations. Next is job diversification and stat/attribute changes and so on.

The video was good. Auto-attack looks good. Will they make the timers on abilities much higher though? Recall, they said they will need to make battles more difficult if they add auto-attack. There are only two ways for them to do that, longer ability times or all enemies have higher HP or defensive skills. Time will only telling if auto-attacking is a winner...

Nah, battles are not more difficult. He solo'd a monster 10 levels above him with ease, just let that soak in...

Well that was worth months and months of waiting. You can pull out a weapon while running! Game changing cutting edge epic shit right there! It's like running with scissors but cooler. Here's the kicker: you can put scissors into your pocket WHILE running! AMAZING!

I've been auto-attacking for years in XI so that feature doesn't exactly blow my mind.

It'll always be the next patch that will bring something we need to the game, don't you see the pattern? SE are expert liars.

Except they haven't lied about anything since Yoshi came into control. In fact they've gone out of their way to be clear what the situation is on each aspect.

But yeah, hyperboles are good too, so run with it.

hmm so the gladiators skill at the end was a new skill? or an old one? Auto attack looked pretty slow on pug, but at least you seemed to get rapid tp. Honestly it looks kind of underwelming, slickly they basically said dont expect it till mid july now. (2 weeks + late june now)
well i hope now that this AA waste of time is going to be over they can do a lot more actual important stuff. Though 1.19 is also going to be AA tweaks.. eh well

also its implied that our special basic attacks will now be cool down skills.
