More action oriented combat{again}

[Astorlok]

2nd this. I'm sure everyone talking about how easy auto attack is has beaten all the *looks at profiles* some of the content...

Gripe all you want, your not getting manual attacks back people.

lol wut? People actually want manual attacks back? Do those people only play games with bad design because said bad design makes the game harder?

Where the frick are you guys getting this harder/easier crap, seriously I would love to know!

The combat is still super slow, specially for PvP imo. I think not only would going back to old system be taking a step back but things need to be more fine tuned for when PvP is launched to make it faster.

What's next Rokien? You want the stamina bar back as well?

Yoshi already stated that this time the battle system has to work because there won't be a next one. Your thread is therefor pretty unnecessary. Even SE can't remake the whole battle system at every whim of the so called majority.

I don't even know when anyone said easy >.> it's a safe system to implement. It's safe because they know it will work, it's defiantly not the best system(AA that is), but it works, people are used to it. I would like you to show me parser of mass damage on every class with the old system >.> if you are going to say that. Come on now, that's a silly argument.

Don't even bother with "it", Rokien.

I think the previous battle system was really underrated and could really be fun and engaging if it had been built correctly, since it was more action oriented. Unfortunatly, it ended up being smash attack all over.

As such, the masses like AA and it's what all the other MMOs have and this game is lacking on standards. So I'd rather they just focus on fun and challenging content for the current system.

Personally, I'd be happy if they just sped the AA a bit. 4 sec between each attack is kinda slow ;P

Im kinda just skimming this thread here but i have two things to add:

the Active Time Battle system is an awesome tradition in FF, dont see any reason to abandon it (before you call me out, it seems to me all FF's battle systems are somewhat derived from this concept). Its a more strategic, thoughtful battle system and I for one have loved it since I first encountered it. To go shooter-style is just not FF imo

And not to mention, if you want a point and shoot...you need something to point with. You really want to dedicate one of your two hands to aiming with a mouse in a text-heavy mmorpg? It would basically make voice chat mandatory >.<; eff that shit.

You can have all that, also people already use chat more than text, you know how I know? Because I hardly use voice chat, and when i'm trying to figure out whats going on, noone responds, why? Because they are not paying attention to the chat box. So your point is invalid my friend. Also I use controller now, during a fight I don't have time to set down my controller and type out a message.

What's wrong with going in there, comming out, and discussing the fight?

EDIT: Oh I can set my controller down on blm, because really all I'm doing on blm is spamming 123,123,123,123,123,123,123. Blm is sooo fun just spamming thunder thundara maybe thundaga..... Ya this system is REVOLUTIONARY!!
