FFXIV is starting self combos too, which I'm guessing will be closer to rotations or maybe Aion's combo system so that's good. But I'm okay if combat isn't as fast paced as WOW, Aion or RIFT's. As long as it has a decent pace and is tactical, people will like it.
Very much in agreement. Combat should be slower and more tactical. Our enemies do not have 500,000 HP and instead add difficulty by being able to kill you in 1-2 shots if you are standing in the wrong spot. That is to this day one of the best things about the game.
