I remember seeing the video of FFXIV i was excited to see how the mage would enfire the arrow of the archer, in a way its something like that the only thing that in my op. could upgrade the BR's is to make it in a way were you can set the ws you want to use and take that tp from you and let you keep using abbilities and weapon skills, todays game are a lot faster than FFXI is, that doesnt mean you cant do strategy in real time, thats why we have better voice chats now.
I don't know if you read the same thread as I did, but the OP didn't ask for an XI clone, dude:

However, because of the need to spam cures, attacks, abilities, party buffs, and even TP, the auto-attack feature did very little to resolve the enormous issues concerning the battle system -it is too fast-paced. There is very little time to chat, do homework, or even eat -let alone go to the bathroom, while partying. More steps must be taken in order to dramatically reduce the battle pace
That's the last thing he said in the battle system paragraph. You're just like every other person out there: black and white, shitty or perfect, spam or 30 min wait times. OP is right. The game is too fast-paced right now. It doesn't need to be an XI clone, but it needs to be something close to it.
