I enjoy the delay between CDs just like I did in FFXI. It adds some strategy to the game, rather than spamming buttons like some mindless FPS game. You have to time your abilities perfectly to the get the most out of them.

Rather than complain about this feature, why not learn how to use it? This isn't a button-masher like lolWoW; you actually have to have some semblance of skill to play each job effectively.

The animation delay (the delay before a skill actually registers) is annoying, however. So is animation lock during a LB.
