It is not the same nor can they bring back that which it had. So if you want easy mode go ahead go play FFXI.
Abyssea was, I'm sure, a testing ground for how the flow of battle was intended to work in FFXIV. I've never played in Abyssea at all, but from what I gather, it isn't a far cry from what we have now in this game.
