Skill based gameplay

[Shougun]

We have. Example: If a Dodo use his Sleep AoE, run behind him in the right moment to dodge it. Keep target-lock off

I like this kind of stuff SE has done before, but I'm pretty sure they use a weird timer then an actual conal detection - or at least detect before the breath has finished.

Since you can get sleeped even if you went behind (obviously you have to wait a second instead of going immediately but I dont like getting hit by things I didn't appear to get hit by).

I'd like to see a roll directional feature in gameplay, double tap a direction (keyboard) and you can quickly doge in that direction. Obviously with a sort of cooldown so you dont have it being spammed making fights a bunch of rammus's running about.

I think its funny people think of FF needing to have a slowed down combat style - because if you've ever watched their cinimetics they have always toted a fast paced very dynamic combat style.


All that being said, It would be very scary to test out a entirely dynamic combat system on FFXIV. Since a lot of players here right now dont want that kind of thing, and they (SE) have never done it before.
