Anyway. I agree with the OP. Those types of dungeons sound amazing. I didn't play 1.0. Joined later than the rest of my FCmates. I'm a bit jealous that they got to experience that.
GCD was a design decision because they didn't want to give us a "real" battle system again. GCD has nothing to do with the PS3 - Care to explain other MMOs with a GCD that has no console version in sight? 1.0 also was designed with the PS3 in mind and had no GCD, but 1.0 was unfinished. Looking at 1.23 (the version people said XIV should have launched as if anything) the battle system was better in terms of design, it felt more natural but had problems due to the engine choice.
