Live Letter Discussion Thread

Wow, at first I was really only worried about the movement animations, but after watching the live letter, it seems combat animations are even worse. Nothing looks fluid or even proper any more, particularly the 'knock back' animation when getting hit. Also, I'm really not liking the flow and pace of combat at all, being a fan of the slower, deliberate pace of XI and XIV. I was honestly just hoping for XIV's combat with better response times and casting animations, and what we got looks...vastly inferior

I was so hyped for 2.0, but every thing I see (Beyond the world design) is completely turning me off

[SARCASM] b-but its unfinished... Just wait... they don't want your opinion that early... And when the alpha starts, and its still kinda the same game you see on these videos... wait some more... don't complain, its still alpha... They probably won't "polish" such minor issues such as character movement and battle animations... Wait until beta. Where they will really polish the game...

Don't be negative man... just wait... [/SARCASM]
