MCH Hopes (Based on the Benchmark)

[Ghastly]

Not really care about poses, animations or anything related, MCH is actually a well-done job when it comes to actual rotation and overall thinking, still its DPS depends too much from DRGs (same goes for BRDs) and hope they'll make metas fixable with players' skill (but they're going the other way, making it easier for everyone with a new flat system). Big problem is I see no dev. team effort for anything related to raids and actual gameplay (the whole game should be planned around them), but only cheap dressing-up / glamour contents which is extremely disturbing for those used to play MMORPGs, RPGs and J-RPGs around. Just sad a J-RPG master such Matsuno workin' on a 24-man casual raid alone, but it's already something I suppose.

A bit off topic but..

In mmo you depend on other people so things need to be a bit less challenging so that they can be fun and not frustrating
In regular FF you don't so things being difficult is actually fun

FFXIV devs are the best ones in current mmo field. Other mmo devs follow your philosophy about making things challenging and end up going f2p (f2p = death of that mmo).

I'm still holding onto hope they will remove the cast bar. : ( I don't like it

No caster bar would be the best change ever
I'm also hoping for no gauss barrel, or a way to turn it off for everyone
