Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

[Zantetsuken]

TP moves look very cool~
Auto Attack is nicely implemented

GJ Dev Team!

MOAR!

I'm pretty happy with how this looks, and how they don't ignore ppl's complaints about the attack animations and active/passive switching animation while running.

Yes, auto-attack is Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy is auto-attack. Nevermind the lack of everything RPG/Chocobos/Cid.

THIS IS IT YOU GUYS. THE GAME IS BACK ON TRACK.

WE PRESIDENT NOW.

With this sarcasm you are spoiling us. Didn't you know auto-attack is a finely tuned and precise torpedo of awesomeness that will redefine FFXIV? Yes, the answer to our prayers is here my friend.

I'm just honestly amazed at the 'Wow, that AA looks amazing!' type of responses to this video. Seriously, no sarcasm involved... how can watching your character attack and waiting for it (it, not you) to build up enough TP for other attacks be interesting?

Time to start sleeping at my keyboard again *sigh*.

I'd throw something positive in here, but AA is the only thing this Letter was about XD. Looking forward to actual news!

SE does not care about these little things anymore. You can tell me i'm stupid, but having a fraps video inside a zone you've never seen would hype the upcoming patch up very hard.
And now we're reading lots of people saying they're disappointed by this letter and the video....

Little things can make differences!

BTW 6 months for a 2 minutes fraps video, cool.

[charliesheen]

fraps is a very technical thing, they needed to employ extra staff just to make that video popdai.

I agree they had a good opportunity to show off one of the new dungeons, too bad though.

Time to start sleeping at my keyboard again *sigh*.

One of the first things to pop into my head was people watching TV and not paying attention.

Auto-attack is pretty much as expected. My Pug's going to be a lot slower than before but oh well, at least I can spend more time focusing on my skills instead of returning to 1/1 constantly.

My only problem with the video is that they didn't even try to make it look really exciting. The player used all of what, 3 skills in each? I don't know about anyone else but I tend to use skills and abilities a lot more frequently.

Blindside or some kinda Sneak Attack?

Blindside is sneak attack.. it just doesn't work.

The question is: Did they only use the three effects to show off new animations?
