Battle Command Design -PLEASE FIX IT

[Khal_Drogo]

Options , Options, Options.

My only concern UI-wise is my screen looking like a WoW screenshot. I like how most of my screen is showing in FF14. I think the lag between moving up and down whilst in the combat bar can be and will be reduced come 2.0 and then I'm a happy camper, using my controller.

I've only seen/watched WoW being played, like twice; but from what I saw, I didn't like it at all. XIV feels ALOT like WoW right now. There's lots of button-smashing spam, too much scrolling/hunting for actions, and battle is kinda boring. At least w/ the traditional menu system, it'll bring back some of the "illusion" that this game wasn't developed in a way specifically designed to bring in WoW-players and other like-minded MMO players.


This game copied XI in all the worst kinds of ways, and failed to bring back the only good things it had to offer:

1. A great job system
[although it needed a drastic overhaul thanks to all the /nin bs]

2.Diverse party play (for exp'n), which could have been adjusted to work better
[i.e. more exp for "Easy Prey" mobs, so parties could choose to fight like a roaming "burn pt;" and a much larger exp bonus for choosing to fight the "normal" way... "Incredibly Tough" mobs, so parties can choose to camp if they like] -yes, OPTIONS...for the love of god

3. Intricate goal-oriented gameplay down to the most "trivial" things
[coffers chests and quests that provide maps for "special" areas; tons of nm's that appeal to specific jobs in different ways, to avoid similarities between characters; limit break quests; and so on]

The list goes on...

Also, to the person muffled by all the noise in this thread :P Who said PS3 users will have a download option for popular Add Ons; thank you for providing that info. Its good to know PS3 players are always in the minds of SE and the Dev team.

Assuming that's even true lol...
