Say No to auto-attack!

[SevenOfnine]

People, auto attack is a horrible idea that will lose FFXIV players! Please lest convince the devs to stop this madness!

With auto attack i can sit around and do f all while i fight. How can that be considered fun gaming?

This, but as always, I'm holding with opinion until I see it, i managed to get a nice posture for this game (something like you usually look at the game in development stages when nothing is set yet.) to actually look what's going one, gather information and that's all ^.^ (since how I'm suppose to judge something if I haven't seen it on my own eyes and touched it with my hands?)

So you like mashing 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 or button,button,button,button,button,button,button,button,button,button, every single fight while madly trying to time in your skill so you dont get yet another random normal attack?

What's wrong with that? You do the same thing in every Action jRPG and i could even say every turn based jRPG (look at menu bar with actions magic, attack, escape etc. like on the action bar we have here, it's overall the same, btw. and that's why I'm loving the current battle system cuss it's more into that manner, connected a little with action jRPG as well)

Well, this all depends of the way auto-attack is added. Since we don't have real info regarding it i prefer to wait until we know more about it.

This. If they keep the current battle system it will be bad. Just waiting till you get 1000 tp then pressing 2 will make the game boring, but if they make the new battle system interesting then it may be different.

Im a r49 lancer and Im honestly tired of having to jump between Light thrust mashing, to a well placed speed surge when its wearing off, t jump to an invigorate to be able to use Twisting Vice to be able to cancel the NMs sp attack and then ahving to use Comrade in Arms 2 to help my team get even more sp.

So yes, I want auto attack so I dont have to be constantly focusing of how many times IM mashing Light thrust so i can focus on doing my job properly as part of the party.

YES TO AUTO ATTACK

Having to mash one key isn't a valid reason to add in auto-attack. Yes, combat does need changing and you're right, you shouldn't have to simply repeat one attack, you should have to think about which attack you want to execute from a varied choice like in any other Final Fantasy game. The developers should be looking at ways to require the player to vary their attacks. Adding in auto-attack doesn't accomplish this.
