More action oriented combat! ~no auto-attack~

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

So, the past day I have been playing Blade 'n Soul. It made me miss the old "action" combat we used to have(ya know, pressing 111111). The game is in closed beta and is sooooo fun. I feel like I'm playing an... anime. It also has great animation for everything. Though the animation I like is the jumping/running. I am one of those people who doesn't like jumping, but the way they implemented them, it's, pretty/fun. You can even jump in the air and attack. All I have to say is, FFXIV would be amazing with a more action combat system like we used to have. So, they should have used their resources to build off that old system and not use AA.

I think it may be something that SE may consider in future development. But for FF14, I believe it will be closer to the more traditional 3D MMORPGs.

I imagine from the view of FF13 Versus or mechanics such as Kingdom Hearts and Dissidia, that the possibility of a cooperative multiplayer action RPG could be quite possible.
