What would you guys think about getting more Dynamic, "Combo" abilities?

Condensing the combos to a single button would really be helpful for certain classes... Mostly Monk and Dragoon I'd say.

MNK could easily turn 9 buttons into 3 buttons, and DRG could take 10 into 3. Probably would be best if they were combined at level 50 onwards, since that's when classes will have all base of their combo weaponskills. AoEs and DRG being really the only exceptions to this.
But basically, for the combos in whole
For MNK
Bootshine -> True Strike -> Snap Punch
Dragon Kick -> Twin Snakes -> Demolish
Arm of the Destroyer -> Four-Point Fury -> Rockbreaker

For DRG
True Thrust -> Vorpal Thrust -> Full Thrust -> Fang and Claw -> Wheeling Thrust.
True Thrust -> Disembowel -> Chaos Thrust -> Wheeling Thrust -> Fang and Claw.
Doom Spike -> Sonic Thrust -> Coerthan Torment.


While most would save only 2 or 3 by condensing combos, for the sake of MNK and DRG it would be really

It's actually not a bad idea, making it something you have to "unlock". It would make newcomers appreciate those conveniences a lot more, if you had to get used to a fully-manual combo before unlocking a condensed version.

Like I said, I think for me, the main thing is making sure there's still some way of visually seeing where you are in a combo (am I on the first hit? the third?), and organize them with some rhyme and reason. The Samurai also comes to mind, as he has two 3-button combos and one 2-button combo associated with highlighting his "runes" or whatever. The Monk obviously has a "Side" combo and a "Back" combo, and there is definitely some reason to mix them up from time to time. This wouldn't even necessarily hamper that; you would just have to remember "Okay, I'm going to do two Back attacks, but then use my Side finisher to refresh my DoT" or something like that.

Like I said, if nothing else, it would be a godsend for my DRK. If I were able to condense his two main combos into two individual "combo" buttons, I would probably get away with only needing a single Hot-bar, which would be AMAZING on a controller!!!
