Would you play FFXIV if it had action combat?

[UBERHAXED]

Dissidia is a fighting game with some RPG elements (namely levels/equips), not an actual RPG. Also, it had a menu-based combat option that made it feel like an fast ATB game. I have other reasons to not like FFXV, like ambientation, character design, party composition etc. I will still try to play it, but I think I'll skip it and focus on the other two big RPG titles I'm looking for next year.

EDIT: And I had the most important reason to play Dissidia and 012: seeing all the story interactions of my 'favorite media character of all time' with the other protagonists.

Not that I believe that you are wrong, but the game isn't out yet and what you seen in trailers isn't the game. The only thing we got out out demos was the battle system. Everything else, like character design can be changed on the fly since the game is still in development. And apparently, they will delay the game for more years (apparently given the announcement in 2006, 9 years ago) since time isn't an issue for changing design.
