FF and the GCD

[Kitru]

End game fights are already pretty hectic, I think it's fine the way it is.

This is why I think they went with a 2.5 sec GCD instead of the 1.5 "standard". FFXIV has a helluva lot more stuff that you have to manually dodge than a vast majority of MMOs. The 2.5 sec GCD gives you a reasonable time to react to other stuff between pressing your attacks.
