The Letter is up

[ShadowCadja]

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!

Bayohne any possibility you can check if DoM will get auto-attack? In the letter it says "Battle classes only", but from my understanding, CON and THM are battle classes aswell, so could we have an answer as to either they gonna have auto attack aswell or not? ^_^

Speaking as a PUG, if they get kick attacks and I don't, I will be quite upset. T_T

WOOOOT! so i think safe to assume FFXI style rng is in close range melee with dagger/axe and long range/shooting controlled manually! although i dont see why it shoulda been done any other way. =/

This is how rng should be done its low lvl but the basic idea is this close= AA w/melee weapon and shoot when you want to. perfect!

Please dont take away the display of archers with the bow, leave it like it is, it wouldnt be an archer without showing the bow

So the thing I loathed most about RNG in FFXI is being kept for FFXIV? /sigh

Then dont play rng in xiv simple fix, no?

Too late for that... although my favourite class will probably switch to PUG now.

However by that same logic, if everyone quit combat classes that'd be a simple fix for the combat system, no?

EDIT: Nevermind disregard reply, I saw "OR you could lay in a corner in the fetal position and cry yourself to sleep" and stopped taking this seriously.
