Obviously, this isn't a serious suggestion, because it would require fundamentally redesigning the entire game... but to be honest, the combat was one of the only saving graces to that game (the other being the Housing system... SO GOOD!).

Basically, the idea was that instead of targeting an enemy, and then your attacks being aimed that THAT SPECIFIC enemy, your attacks would basically fill a cone of some kind, hitting whatever is inside of the cone in front of you.

The biggest reason I loved that system is that, for a controller, it was really organic. Not that it's a HUGE problem in FFXIV or anything, but now and then I'll still catch myself being targeted on the wrong target, despite standing right next to it. It's mostly problematic when in Raids, as I wind up hiding my UI as much as possible.

And since I intend to start tanking with a Controller once the Dark Knight is available... Well, I pity the fools who wind up in my group :P
