Alpha Video 5 - 3 sec GCD combat seems slow

[Zenaku]

Because the way most games are designed, the animation coincides with the length of the GCD. So regardless of animation, not having a gcd would allow you to chain spells and abilities. XI was a good example of that too, because there were many abilities that you could use in succession without seeing the entire animation, they were usually self-target buffs though.

Yes but not talking about FFXI am i talking about 1.0 Version where you had to wait for the animation to be done before you could even use the next ws which sucked ass for ifrit fight. But i see GCD being lower down because people crying over it that just my point anything SE make people going to dislike and they may change it and make the game a spam fest.
