Where are....

- Auto attack

- Chocobos

- Airship

- New UI

- New Action Bar

- Ancient Magics adjustment

- New Battle Animations/Graphics

- Battle rebalancing

- Battle speed adjustment

- New classes system

- etc

Auto attack is probably being balanced for the combat changes to come and thus probably will NOT work as the game is now.

Chocobos I don't know really but I don't really need them with anima, kind of spoiled me.

Airships, just like chocobos do we really NEED it per se? I mean eventually yeah, but why is it a priority we don't absolutely need them this moment.

New UI? I thought they were just adjusting things about it and by the way party icons for hp/mp are part of the UI... as is toggling on and off the HP bars etc.. though it could use more.

Action bar? It might need some adjusting but I sort of like it... I dunno.

Ancient magic? It shares the names flood, quake etc.. but I never heard the game refer to it as ancient magic, sure you're not just pigeon holing this and holding it to the standards for FFXI? Even at that did FFXI ever refer to those spells as ancient magic? I don't recall that, more the player bases name for those spells.

Battle animations and graphics.. shouldn't that come after they fix the system? Why fix it now if they may change it in a few months and have to do it over again? Besides which wasn't most of this game mo-capped? Meaning to change the character animations wouldn't they need to redo it totally? I guess they could add some particle after effects and such though.

Expect balancing to come with battle changes? same with speed.. why change it now to do it again? It's so wasteful just be patient or go play another game and come back..

Most of your requests are fair but you have to realize many of them would be a waste of time to do at current given that they will be changing the system anyway. Their best bet would be to develop the new job system and define/balance roles as they make the new combat system which would probably include auto attack and possibly a new action bar etc.. Doing it now without the new combat system would just make the do double work and it'd take much longer..


P.S. I loved this patch, a lot of good ground work and effort is shown.
