Change "animation locks" (makes the game too slow)

[Berethos]

This game is anything but fast paced. It was designed with a 200ms delay in mind. FFXIV is rather slow compared to basically the majority of global cooldown mmo's out there. I will agree though that it is rather annoying that certain actions/fights are determined by animations while others by a cast bar/visible marker. There needs to be a set standard.

The majority of global cooldown MMOs out there are just 1 second faster (oh, that is sooo much faster /sarcasm) and aren't designed around fitting 1-2 abilities frequently in between that 2.5 second base cooldown.
