    Japan criticizes FFXIV's combat?

    Those ungrateful swines!

    http://news.mmosite.com/content/2010..._japan,1.shtml


    what did they expect? Hyper speed combos?

    [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Hp-O7qwjyI&feature=player_embedded"]YouTube- FFXI New SAM WS: Tachi: Ultra Combo[/nomedia]

    What does everyone here think of this? To me from the leaked videos of the combat and everything, It looks faster than
    FFXI, and more fun since it isn't auto-attacked based, it's closer to the classic ATB style, but with the freedom that a FF mmorpg offers (movement, real-time situations, etc.)

    I guess maybe all weaponsskills should bee speedy and stylish like Blade: Ku and Raging Fists?

    Wouldn't mind, but I really don't see a problem with the combat overall. It looks like a more polished and advanced version of FFXI's combat. FFXIV really is improving things without selling out like those F2P games that are speedy, but really lack substance and weight and oomph in their attacks/animations.

    It's just a sped up animation of a guy using Soboro.

    Cool beans though.

      I'm not feeling the ATB gauge to be honest..

      Me seeing it makes me feel like it's slower than if I couldn't. If that makes sense?
      A mans strength isn't measured by the size of his muscle, but by the size of his heart.

      it's better to be a smart ass than a dumb ass.

        There was also this article about FFXIV's combat criticisms: Final Fantasy XIV Battles “Pathetically Boring” | Sankaku Complex

        Watching the videos I can see what they mean, it does look quite slow.

        I wouldn't mind them taking a leaf of of FFXIII's book for combat, that was nice and fast paced.

          I'm not sure about ATB feeling slower.

          Especially considering it feels 5x faster than waiting to auto-attack with a Great Sword/Scythe/any 2 handed weapon. :p

          The gamescom videos are nothing to go by, because the players didn't even know what they were doing and they hesistated to perform an action the instant their bar was filled.

            Well, the "delay" numbers in FFXI aren't really tangible indicators themselves. I'd rather have the ATB bar, saves you a bit of spreadsheet bullshit to deal with if you can get a better visual idea of how fast you can move again.

            But people are starting out and on top of that starting out in an alpha version of the game. Big deal. You're not a swift god out of the gate, get over it.

                It does seem slow. Mainly because you will be watching the bar 95% of the time, waiting for it to fill, then going to the skill asap to use it quickly. If there wasn't a bar, and you would have to guess if a skillw as ready, then it would seem a bit faster IMO. But the bar is nice so you don't really have to guess.

                But Guess what!?!?!?! Its in Fucking ALPHA! It can change! When the hell will people fucking learn!

                    SE said they knew about this, and say it's mostly due to server lag. So we will see I guess.

                      Feedback is a core part of testing last time I checked. If some people are in Alpha and stating the combat is slow then just maybe it is and it's something that will be looked at by the developers. Everyone taking potshots at the JPs might want to set aside their righteous indignation and think about that for a second. There again, I suppose it's easier to fall back on, "If you don't like it leave!"

                        If this is in reference to my post, it was an inside joke from a different thread. I know humor and sarcasm are hard to convey with text.

                              One of the points of the alpha test is to get a feel of what people think of the combat.

                              Think of the criticisms at feedback rather than whiny complaints.

                              At least issue like this are being brought up during the alpha stage.
