Skip to the 3 minute mark of this video and obviously ignore the lag but the cooldown was fairly long at that time...I guess they could've sped it up, I don't think it would've saved the battle system. I think for solo the battle system is decent, they need to give us better attacks but it needs touching up for party play.
The reaction time is painfully slow, but the benchmark for improvement here isn't the earlier versions of XIV but other MMOs like Aion and WoW, MMOs where when I push a button, my character immediately freakin' DOES SOMETHING!

I also hate to say it but I like that interface much better than the current one...
