Japan criticizes FFXIV's combat?

Will with auto-attack, it gave you time to type real fast then get back to fighting.

I see this as the reason to "queue" actions... so you can type if you need to between them.

Honestly, the battle didn't seem THAT slow, and it certainly wasnt more boring than FFXI. It's just that it was archer gameplay, the player didn't seem to know what he was doing, and bows have very slow recharge.

Can't wait to play in Beta and try for myself though. (if beta ever comes)

Well... If you watch some of the newer videos... His attacks have sped up some, now that he knows what he is doing.

yeah the earlier videos are misleading, because the player....hell no one knew what they where doing ;p

but of course, most of the normal viewers don't realize this, and formed a misinformed opinion about a battle system they have never played.

THis is true, but then you have NA and JP testers who also made the same statements.

When I saw the title, I thought it was the Japanese Prime Minister making a statement in a press release about FFXIV...

I thought it was going to be a good thread...

No, it will be the worst game ever created then. It will be all about super awesome tittle 9 being released in 5 years. We know nothing about it now, but it will be the best game EVAR!
