    Sadly I never got the chance to beta test but I really wanted to try the older battle system. For some reason I feel if it were still around now there would be no need for auto attack. Considering auto-attack is slow as-well.

    I rip the axe from the head Covered in blood and brains Leave the body lying dead Ready to strike again
    My sword cuts through clothes and skin Like a hot knife cuts through snow I smile as the bastard screams When I twist my sword
    Sword in my hand Axe on my side Valhalla awaits me Soon I will die Bear skin on my back Wolf jaw on my head Valhalla awaits me When I'm dead

    I know that conjurer and thaumaturge felt different back then. There was not as much MP to spare, but the nukes/heals were much more potent if I'm not mistaken.

    Sounds like the older FF games.

    But I must! I wish they would just make a modern traditional FF game with all the jobs from V and Tactics. But job's like Mime be restricted a bit. Also great story telling for an MMO like XI.
