Petition for a differnt combat UI

[Onidemon]

almost every MMO i have ever played had atleast 1 thing common. that is they all used skill bars for every ability. I personally hate the idea of that and I've always hated that, it might be the main reason i loved ff11 because they didn't force u to do that. yes people made macros and went staight back to the skill bar pretty much but i didn't which is why i made this thread. I don't want to get rid of the skill bar, that would be stupid because plenty of people enjoy it, i just want an option for a menu (like every ff has when in a battle doesnt have to be like that just saying menus go with FF).

That wouldn't work. They want to make combat more dynamic and more interactive not slow it down....

Well, so they have to improve or change the current system.
I think its possible to make the traditional Final Fantasy battle UI a little more dynamic.
But it doesn't need to be slower, because the skills and actions are filtered then.
What about the mage spells with aoe function? I can't imagine, how they will do in future and on the PS3 gamepad since there is an extra button for jump? No, i think they want to do the same they did with aoe Cure with every spell and there is way no place to set all those skills on the bar. And if thats true, they'll have to change something.

I hope you understood that xD.

ya it might even be something like they did with blue or with FF7 where it was all premade but it only showed what you had attached.
