Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

I'd like/hope they give us the option to turn off recast timer (numbers) and just have the blue circle timer, would make the action bar look a bit better IMO.

Battle system looks a lot like FF11 now IMO, Pugilist has lost a lot of speed due to no spam attacking, not sure if that's a good thing or not.

The DMG has been scaled up due to AA being implemented. The only downfall is the fact you cant get TP or Hate generation as fast.

I was also noticing the PUG speeds, not a big deal since I don't play PUG. Lancer looks right on cue though, and I am drooling over the new Chaos Thrust

WoW /facepalm on several posters here XD lol.

You guys seem to forget how mmo are or something. ffxiv will ALWAYS get patched. That is the nature of mmo. They are just fixing more then adding. Once they fix the major stuff then they will add. If your too much a cynic maybe go play a different game for a while. Only thing actually dragging the game down are the negetive posting from the cynics and not really the game. I have fun on ffxiv. I make my own fun. Pick somethong you like doing. And just do it. If there is nothing you enjoy, there never will be.

The letter said what it needed to say. He doesn't HAVE TO write them. He wants to do so since he is a first time being the head of a game and more importently an mmo which is a different beast.

As for AA, I like it. Its just fast enough to be enjoyable and not as slow as it looks. They just took time to show off a few skills. One thing I noticed that no one seems to even mention was the Action bar. Did anyone notice it got changed? And i like it.

Correction, he does have to write the letters because everyone was so unhappy with the lack of communication while the game was sucking, that they were going to quit. Most people did. If he doesn't continue writing good letters and keeping people informed about how long stuff is going to take, more people will quit.

Also, there is nothing wrong with people complaining. Why can't they complain? Is it your opinion that people should either shut up or leave? Is that it? How unfortunate!

I also noticed the action bar, but since I haven't played in quite a bit I wasn't sure if it had changed at all other than a cooldown graphic, which seems fine to me. It looks like icons are a bit easier to make out, as well as a few other differences I can't quite put my finger on.

I did notice the change to the action bar actually. I also like it.

I feel pretty relieved by this, oddly. I didn't expect an update till July-ish, anyhow, and it's good they're learning to hold off on something until it's absolutely complete.
You can almost see a timid looking Yoshi-P going into a allegorical conference room full of rabid honey badger fans, knowing this might not be what they want to hear, but it's the reality and they're owning up to it as best they can.

Respect to this likely extremely stressed dev team for sticking it out and keeping us informed.

[viion]

I loved it, mainly because of the animation and sounds.

For those who wondered, the Gladiator WS was Rage of Halone

Glad to finally see some "Final Fantasy™" animations.

One thing i hope they do: grey out any action that requires a trigger (Phalanx on Block, Jarring strike on Evade), until trigger (and it's window) is activated and up.
