Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

Until we know at least a bit of how they are handling archer it's kinda pointless to discuss it.

Oh and remember not to reply to crazy people, just place an /ignore in place of anything that you would say to it, then post something relevant to the thread.

we do know this about how archer will play..

Checked with the dev. team regarding questions about archers and their ability to auto-attack. Auto-attack as a system will initiate when the player is fighting an enemy in close range. While archers will be able to auto-attack enemies while in close range it won't be with arrows. New animations will be implemented to make this all happen!

This gives me at least a pretty good ideal of what archer will play like after the update and it sounds good to me.

umm so auto attack works at close range... does that mean archer is getting a melee weapons or are they gonna bash mobs with their bows?

Most likely will play like ffxi rng a small dagger/hand axe in close which coould have some nice stats to boot! i highly doubt you will be wacking the mob with your bow =/ come on... lol.
Check some rng vids from ffxi and i bet thats pretty close to what we will see and rng freakin owned in xi so i am happy.
Now if we could just get samurai....SE

300+ comments I refuse to read through to make this remark, but has anyone noticed how the player engaged the first gob? I can't for the life of me understand how he/she initiated the auto-attack. It's not on the action bar...

Big EDIT lol...
I noticed a post pretty much answering my question. -.-
