BR vs SC.... missing the point

[Kimahri]

So far, reading this forum is like having sex without the satisfaction of physical sex. I'm sorry, Alcide. I have to agree with Benjaman on this. The Skillchain and Magic Burst of FFXI's Battle System was way better than FFXIV's Battle Regimen. Here's proof of my claim. FFXI is still being played! Yes it's been underscored now by just random beating of the monster with whatever you got, but it's still used!

Let's face it, Alcide. You're just a sour patch kid with his panties in a bunch for some strange reason that you have to defend this cheap gimmick of a game produced and sold way before it's due. Now I don't care how much you, "Test" this theory of your's, but the point is it sucks.

Back in the day I remember when I was a Black Mage and I just obtained Freeze in the Kuftel Tunnel....Do you know how fun and enjoyable that was when I had to cordinate my spell with that of two other people at the right interval? Now, what do you have? Me smashing the number 4 right after some other person hit the number 9 on the 3rd page of his action bar? Where's the damn fun in that? When you perfected the perfect Skillchain and Magic Burst, it would decimate the monster. Hell I still remember being chased by Genbu. My short, stubby stature running away in fear from what's now considered a joke of an end game monster.

I'm really sorry if I just rained terds on anybody's happy parade, but this needs to change. If you think this way is working better than FFXI's then you tell me this.......Why is Square Enix still offering to play this game for FREE!?
