Boredom

[Callo_Itaru]

Hello everyone, i felt like telling you guys that i feel like this game is a bit boring.
I'm still new to this game but anyway i think i need to point this out to everybody.

The game overall is very good in my opinion but there is something that has bothered me since i started playing this game, the combat.

Combat has a big role in Final Fantasy series and it has always been the strong point but i don't feel its strong in XIV because every skill on every class seems quite copy pasted with different sprites, of course there is few skills that seems unique in every class but those are it.

I'm hoping to see more unique skills in the future with better impact effect also so you feel the "power" and not just the numbers that pop on the screen, its if i'm playing WoW in a sense where the combat feels really dull, everything else in this game so far seems to be more enjoyable.

How do you guys feel about the combat yourselves? Any lack lusters that comes into your minds?

I see you just hit level 15. At that point in the game, I'd have to agree with you. However, you're getting to some of the best parts of the story, and your first primal fight within the next 10 levels.

Hand in there. It gets a lot better.

A lot of people complained about this in the beta when the level cap was 20. Now that everyone is level 50, all of those complaints went away. Hit level cap and then decide if it's boring.

The combat gets alot better when you get to higher levels. More attacks off the global cooldown and buffs you need to weave between the attacks.

Also in many fights you will be moving alot so there is that aspect to combat as well that is not in the low levels as much.

As for special and unique the battle system is more or less copied from WoW why it feels extremely similar. There is not really much difference from WoW in terms of the battle system outside the fact XIV has a slightly longer GCD attached to abilities.

I would suggest holding on until some higher levels. Best thing to do is to youtube any of the extreme primals or Coils and watch a video. Will give you a better idea of what the battle system looks like after you get past the early levels.

Depending on what you make your job will also effect things. If you are on arc. if you go sch,healer, you can switch between healing and dmg spec, not alot of dmg but to does help, as well as having to control the fairy in some raids to maximize things. Smn is more or less a dot pet class.

I know that near the end game everything changes to better, but i was hoping to see more variety for skills for each class at lower levels. It feels like 1 button smashing all the way to level 50.
As a Conjujer even at level 30 you only have few attack spells which share the same delay with an exeption of aero skill, for the enemy and more healing based stuff for yourself and party members which if you like doing dungeon parties, you can combine other classes skills with your current but that is a different story, they feel pretty much the same skills but different sprites and they all seems to share the same delay times, which is annoyance.

Alot of people always say 1-50 are just training, the real game starts after the first section of the main story is over.

When I first started playing, leveling my first class didnt seem too boring to me, because I was still getting back in to MMOs and getting the feel for things.
But leveling other classes after, yeah it got a bit boring. By the though I had made some friends in-game so I'd talk to them during dungeons and such.

Especially conjurer for me those first twenty levels I thought I was going to die, I was so bored. I still don't find it...ideal... but it's better now.

Like Arcanist, Ruin spam...... Similar to Warlock in WOW, I love this game Lore, as for ingame content I like WOW more.
But for community WOW is far more toxic, I leave that game because of it.
