More action oriented combat{again}

[Morticous]

Its funny no one gives a valid reason why.

i think my point is valid.

Because there are going to be players who use controllers. FFXIV is relying on that PS3 playerbase.

Good luck moving nonstop on your D-Pad trying to be a decent player, unless you seriously think "Attack" should have it's own dedicated face button.

Go play TERA, Blade and Soul, or Guild Wars 2 if you want a more action oriented combat system. We just got a fucking overhaul of the combat system a few months back, and you want them to rework it AGAIN?

Christ.

You would like to speed up your chances of carpel-tunnel syndrome button mashing?

You would like to spend 5 minutes killing weak mobs?

You would like an awkward interface that's hideously slow and so simplistic in concept it rivals stone age DOS RPG's?

You would like to start a combo, have to wait on your action bar to fill to start the next in the chain, and take like another 10 seconds to be able to finish the 3rd combo?

No Thank You Sir! I'd rather not!

I see no validity in your comment!

My reason= I don't like button mashing. I bought the CE at launch and stopped playing pretty much straight away because I hated not having AA. If they reintroduced it I would quit.

Who said anything about button mashing?

[Ayanne]

If it isn't button mashing then what do you mean by action oriented battle?

having to press a button every hit = button mashing.

with that logic every game is a button masher.

This game is not anymore we hit skills for combos and activate buffs we do not have to spamm a single button over and over just to enable us to do the skills for combos.

I liked the "Action" combat in DCUO but that combat and this game does not fit. That is a high Comic Style super hero fantasy game this is more realistic back in the day + tech fantasy. Doing backflips and front flips and side rolls all would kill off the player base of FF MMOs forever I think.

Plus in the end that was button mashing too just lots of mouse buttons.

This is what I said but said better. Thank you Keith.
