People claiming XIV's combat system is lag free are just deluded. They have no clue what actual lag-free (or as close to possible) combat is. Having to even "sometimes" hit a button twice for it to register is a HUGE red flag that the combat system is horrible.You have to be joking. There is so much lag that ensuring an action goes off relies on an immense amount of button spamming, particularly now that there is no action queuing.
FFXIV combat is atrocious. It's downright horrible. It's slow. You generally sit there for 5-10 seconds doing nothing while you wait for your TP bar to fill, and having that time double if you miss. Actions take a huge amount of time to go off (2-3 seconds after the button press). Animation lock is a terrible concept, particularly when things like crit animations take twice as long to play.
Defending the current system for whatever reason is just ridiculous.
