Well, i do agree with you and i'm also worried about the way FFXIV is taking battle-wise.

I have faith that the devs can fully understand the current system Tanaka team made and that they won't discard it to add a battle system from other game, only adding more options to improve the possibilities of it...but, at same time, the more i read devs posts the weaker my faith becomes...sometimes i feel they not fully understand or control the way the game is going.
