It is a hole that was not dug only by the developers but the fans who don't know what they want. Fans that put tradition on a pedestal while sacrificing gameplay in the process.
Betel you are either trolling or just ignorant if you think Tales of games have better combat than FF games cause they don't, they use the same tactics as FF does.

Spam attacks, nuke the mobs ele weakness and spam heal's to stay alive there are no real start's in tales game's except outliving your enemy.

As to this thread i think FF 14 combat is gonna be like Xenoblade where lot of skills are position based.

Basically the 3 chars you see are Shulk with the glowing sword he is like an CRT atk DD char/positional fighter

Then you have Ryan he has an gun lance with like an shield built onto it he is an Tank/DD

Then you have Sharla who is an Gunner/support/healer class.
