You know what game has fun, fast-paced, dynamic combat that also involves a stamina gauge (though it acts more like MP) and timing a good number of abilities to fire off--including abilities from different classes that have effects that play off of each other?

Dragon Age II. Yes, I know it's an offline game, but as I play it I can't help but feel that it's a whole lot closer to what the FFXIV battle system was intended to feel like than the FFXIV battle system itself.

Also, most fun mage in a video game EVER.
