Your Focused On The Wrong Thing!

Oh wait!!!!

Can't believe I didn't remember this before.

S4 League

There's a game perfectly suited to what you want, it's got all the running, jumping, dodging, shooting and swordplay you could ever want in an extremely flashy and funky style, and has great music to go with it.

I bet their response to S4 League will be "Nah, looks crap"

I think the response to action MMOs has generally been quite positive. Recent polls suggest most players want action-oriented combat, and also polls suggest non-MMO players dont play MMOs due to the slow combat-style. I mean, the leap from coming even from a FF game is big. And so, many prospective buyers wont play FF due to their perception of the combat as boring.

The R46 quest was pretty well-received (personally I thought it was tacky and over the top), which just goes to show that most people really do prefer action over boredom, contrary to what the FFXIV/SE defense force assures us.

This is not an action MMORPG Gift. It never was, and it probably never will be. It is an MMORPG with minor action elements that relate to real time combat, like positioning and distance. Not every game these days has to be an action game. You can still have fun with games that don't have heavy action elements just as you can enjoy a movie without explosions. I'm sorry this game didn't turn out to be the action packed high fantasy extravaganza you where apparently expecting it to be, but judging from the direction the game is flowing in, I'd suspect it will never go there.

And you know what?
That's fine.

I am a full time crafter, so I am more concerned with the dev team brutalising that aspect of the game. The previous battle system sucked too anyway (hence the crafting), and I was merely interjecting to say it was bad idea to remake the combat system into one that still wasnt fun.

Why they thought it was a good idea to waste 6 months on autoattack is beyond me.

You make it sound like FFXIV's combat is an algebra equation that only the Queen and you are allowed to like, and that's probably one factor which will influence FFXIV's eventual downfall.

I want to put a techno suit on and shoot lazerz out of my eyes while I play. I want to triple jump backflip kamehegay while doing it. Ridiculous. What is wrong with you people? The way the battle system is now is fine it's just not complete like the rest of the game. If you want your character to look like a crackhead while you play go play some Korean games. Thnx.

...is that a reference to something?
Whatever the case, it's not like auto attack was the only thing they where doing for those 6 months, and the combat system isn't complete either, but it's defiantly a step up from release.

I vote when 1.19 comes out Yoshi and his team should have a celebration party, both for getting 1.19 out and for FFXIV being out for a year, they should all dance around the office cheering whilst playing this.

Would be so much fun to watch
