Back Paddling is horrible.

That is your opinion and I respect that, and I agree HYPER fast is not always the key, but that does not mean that certain parts of fights can't be a little more reactive. Final fantasy has always had twitch gaming now that we have coined that term lol. Its the difference between active fast and wait combat all the way back since Final Fantasy 7. For me its more of a reaction in combat such as get out of fire in less then 2 seconds or you die type thing. Not everybody is going to like old school stand still RPG combat.. I do btw... but that is not the future of the genre anymore. From an MMO standpoint.

Then MMORPGs in general, especially this one, are really not for you. In a world where everything is getting faster and faster and faster in gaming, it's honestly refershing to have a team that goes "whoa, whoa, is this really necessary?"

I'm with you. Combat can be as fast as they want to make it. They just have to make sure they don't make it so simple people can come up with standard "Rotations" and pretend they are elite.

If players cycle through the same skills more than twice in a row, your fight is to easy.

Funny enough, for every situation that needed me to move quickly, I always hit the q or e buttons and not s (in 1.0). But that was me I guess, easy stuff.

Why are some people obsessed with the idea that ARR should be exactly how they think it should be, maybe they are just a bit backwards?

Yeah, I am right with you there. I posted about this ages ago, but everyone said it's pre-alpha, don't worry about it!

Bring back the old animations at least as an option.

Why do I have this sense that if it were different, or Yoshida had said that it should be changed to be more free, that certain people would have a very different opinion on the subject?
