Yea thats why i wont bring it up about gear swap stuff because another thread it was mentioned in, and that person got blasted about how it should be in this game. Anyway, i hope for 2.0 the battles can be more fun, and have more strategies for taking down foes. I just find it kinda crazy how unorganized partys are with 5 plus mobs just getting spam aoe ws, or magic.

Be nice if XIV just used XIII-2's battle system. I mean it's built around controlling only one character anyway, and it's fast-paced and fun.

But that would require a massive rehauling of all the battle mechanics, and it'd be had to to think up multiple paradigms for each class.

It's pretty boring unless youre a tank on a boss.

Unless You're going PLD, you're probably doing the same thing every other DD does, but in one position.

Everyone else is either waiting for TP (zzzzzzzzzz),

Throwing weapons exist for this reason.

running out of MP (zzzzzzz),

Learn to manage your MP properly.

waiting for threat to go down (zzzzzzzzzzzzz),

Chameleon, Elusive Jump, and Freeze work wonders. Get a better tank.

waiting to cast after moving (zzzzzzzz),

I don't...what?

interrupting cast by accident (zzzzzzzzz),

I'd hardly consider this a zzzzzzzzzzz moment, especially if you're a WHM.

mob dies before AoE goes off so have to recast your AoE (zzzzzzzzz).

This is a problem, but not because it's boring. It's an annoyance.

The combat in this game is a hell of a lot more enjoyable than XI's combat, despite that not saying a whole lot, it's a great system. And with stuff like Battle Regimens coming back, I expect it to have some actual depth as well.

Be nice if XIV just used XIII-2's battle system.

This is just the worst idea.

This is just the worst idea.

Oh well thanks for explaining why.
Not that I care at all about whatever inane reasons you have for disliking FFXIII-2's combat, or if you do like the combat then your complete lack of imagination as to how they could make it work in an MMO, but the point is if you're going to just say 'lol no' you might as well just not say anything at all.

I actually somewhat enjoyed FFXIII-2. I just think turning away from what the game currently has is a terrible terrible move. The combat we have now is far better than what XIII/XIII-2 have. And far more involving.
