More action oriented combat{again}

[bobbygunz]

Generally speaking, just because you (in general) might see something you really like in another MMO, does not mean it would automatically work in FFXIV, or otherwise make it better. But boy do I see that a lot; "such and such MMO has "x", and I liked it. So, FFXIV should have "x" as well. It would make the game so much better!". It's not that cut and dry. "x" feature works in "that other MMO" because "that other MMO" was designed around it from the get-go.

Well that's Yoshi's philosophy from his first day on the job. FFXIV was not designed to be instance-heavy nor have crafters marginalised, but that's what happened regardless because "other MMOs did it" or "it's standard in other MMOs". So until FFXIV goes back to its roots in design philosophy, people have a right to say "give us more action oriented combat".
