I'll take the old SC/MB combo back anyday of the week, been a long time since I played FFXI and watching those videos back to back sure shows how different they are.

Asides from that being alpha footage, i love how the roegayden literally stands there for the whole fight and the two times he does something, he misses. Got to laugh at that.

[Malakhim]

Eww... Alpha footage.

Also, there is nothing in any game that is worth hours of waiting.

I agree eww, the battles we have now are RADICALLY DIFFERENT from what was seen in that video, I agree Malakhim. Good point.

lol no they are not! all they did was speed up the attacks that actually negatively affected the animations. like a MAR now strikes too quickly and the animations cannot keep up so they are inadvertantly cut off between attacks.......

Well if you enjoy waiting for up to an hour to get stuff done in a video GAME, then you've got some warped priorities.

That's time you're not getting back.

Oh man don't remind me of that horrible event ever again. I still have nightmares standing in DA waiting for a mob to pop just to watch bots claim it then being forced to watch them kill it for ToD.
