IMO AA speed is good...its just the same crap it was at FFXI...but no problem...but IMO the way the other basic attacks were adjusted is the real flaw of this new battle system...when i first read about AA and saw that movie i thought "That's interesting...its slow so players can alternate the other basic attacks between AA triggers"...shame on me...it wasn't even close to what they had in mind.

I still hope the basic actions recast is just a placeholder and that they will adjust it soon...this would fix most of the speed problems of the current battle system.
