Since when did you control a full party as one person in FFXIV? Terrible comprison is terrible.

Fast combat does not mean it isn't or can't be as much as or even more tactical than slow combat. Only difference is less down time between attacks to plan, you have think on the fly. Just like the difference between RTS and turn based stragey games.

So many players base their expectations on the previous game and don't approach new games as a new game.

Also look how many call Miqo'te Mithra and Lallafell Tarutaru. Or /whisper when there is no whisper, or the MArketboard an auction house, even though they are two totally different systems.

well the loldrg bit is still the same at least :P

Man, weapon skills had so much impact back then. Overabundance of flash, and obscenely weightless animations now.

Are we looking at the same weapon skills? >_>

1.0 looks to be so much better and a much more fun game then ARR. Aside from a few turns in Coil, ARR is just too easy.

Considering most of them are exactly the same as in 1.0 except sped up, yes, you've been looking at the same ones since ARR started, the majority that carried over anyway.

I dunno, the PLD in the video still looks like he doesn't even care what's going on around him.

That's just how Elezen specific animations were, kinda fitting.

1.0 was also easy. The only difficulty 1.0 had was bad game design.
