Thread: Garuda 1.0

Wow, watching those videos made me think that none of the characters are taking anything seriously. Like the PLD in Garuda just casually backhanding her with his sword, or the BRD and MNK in the Ifrit video just kinda. . .being there.

Well I was the monk in the Ifrit video and I am 100% taking the fight seriously, but the way 1.0 worked is you have to sit there auto attack and build tp before you can hit buttons to do stuff. If there is standing around it is because we are waiting for our TP to build.

Auto attack -> build TP -> use like TP to use one of your skills which then goes on cooldown.

Oh, I know. I played 1.0 up until just before jobs were announced. I'm commenting on how the *characters* look, not the players.

I think it's more that the combat stance didn't look like an action stance. The WHM and BLM just sorta standing there in the middle of a deadly fight, not moving, and simply waving their hands around ever so often looks ridiculous to me. The PLD, too, stands there with his sword at his side and his shield down until he attacks. No one looks 'at the ready;' instead everyone looks bored and completely unfazed by the violence occurring around them.
