Would you play FFXIV if it had action combat?

[Shurrikhan]

If it was more reactive (less animation-locked) than, say, Tera, with more of the skills fluidly and determinedly mixable into each other, and with more complex and cumulative gameplay that were thereby more forgiving of split-second events, and with greater nuance in meeting those events... then I'd definitely prefer action-based combat to GCDs and oGCD weaves by it simply being more intuitive and open to ingenuity.

No. If it was I would be playing a different game and not one without.

Seeing as I've never played an Action-MMORPG that wasn't horribly balanced in terms of both class balance and PvE/Raid encounters, I'd have to say no. I would even go as far as to say that it's impossible to properly balance a game like BDO and that no game ever will manage to do that; there's a reason why Bluehole Studio chose to go the tab-target route with their new project AIR instead of making another TERA.

[Faeon]

Probably not, I tried the action combat types blade and soul, wild star and the likes I don't like them at all and prefer the tab target method as we have in WoW and FFXIV. Though I think action combat will work in games where they are not using the holy trinity based style tbh!

[Ampheni]

As much as i love action combat, I'd rather FF14 stay where it is, maybe if the next FF online game have action combat, then I'd be all for it, heck I will likely end up playing that more instead. But right now FF14 have it's own charm, and I think action combat would disrupt it. If you get what I mean.

It’d be fun... until I play Bard.

[VanilleFang]

No. I bloody hate those kinds of systems. I tried a lot of games with action combat and I got bored real quick.

[Kisagami]

Heck no. I like the combat as it is. We don’t need drastic changes like this.

[Laerune]

Yes, but only if it didnt have the latency issues that this game currently has.

By the way the OP is probably trolling becuase action combat games dont neccesarily have animation locks. they don't seem to have any understanding of action combat and just want to troll, while hinting that they think action combat sucks.
