    The slower pace was never an issue when we used skillchains and magic burst...

    You missed what I meant completely. It wasn't that slow pace caused issues... It's a completely different paced game. Skill Chains and magic bursts left plenty of time to react.

    Imagine trying to combo or skill chain in XIV where you would have to get into position and then find your skill. No matter how good you become at navigating a menu, pressing "1-0" will always be more efficient and quicker. I tried to navigate the spells menu once when I played Red Mage in XI and it seemed so inefficient and unnecessary. XI had ALT 1-0 and CTRL 1-0 for a reason.
