I have to agree the combat is way to slow.
But then again it seems he was semi afk. lol
In overall it doesn't look to bad yet, but I'd rather wait too till the game is ready for OB/launch.

Reputation: 46I'm quite pleased.
I liked FFXI "If it ain't broke don't fix it".
Glad to see they made the combat a little faster and acually fun.......NOT. Fancy FFXI ...no thanks
Reputation: 267This is why Final Fantasy XIV will never have the top spot. ;/ I think they kept the combat slow & boring because Asian gamers won't stay on to keep playing until they die from exhaustion. With combat that crappy, no matter how much they love Final Fantasy they'll get a maximum of four hours in and say "Hmm, I want to play something fun!" then play Starcraft II 'til they keel over.
Reputation: 228still depends on when Diablo3 is released...~ before that, im game to try any game~
Reputation: 192I loved XI, now I will love XIVI'm so happy.
Combat may be slower, but anyone with a decent experience in XI knows.. that that's how it belongs.
But hyarume, the problem is not because it is just slow. It is because it has nothing to make up for it in battle. In ff11. . . there was tactic, it had style, slow was ok, but here. . . .
If it stays how I see it atm, I wont be playing this.
I will probably stick to eve online or try Aion in the hopes of it not turning into a neglected lineage botfest.![]()
Reputation: 192This is solo... and was just a person playing..( I mean.. they don't even know what they are really doing)
Reputation: 26battle system very disappoint they didn't even update it same battle system from the first FF11.
to be honest mabinogi heroes look more funner then FFXIV
Reputation: 192Mabi heroes is an online action game,
FFXIV is a full-mmorpg
Yay, just like FFXI.![]()

Reputation: 192Not true, you do missions there, and you don't explore a full-open world.
You don't meet people everywhere.
In my thing that's an action mmo, but FFXIV is not an action mmo.
but a real MMORPG
Reputation: 198nice graphics~ might actually try it out when it comes out :3
Reputation: 482I dunno. I like the GUI and graphical improvements but the combat...I think I need to see more before I say anything else.
Can you really call this gameplay? All they was doing is running after monsters, or just looking at them... not enough fighting, or skills being used.
I have to see more than this to judge the game. Hopefully the next gameplay videos will show some high level combat.
The graphics are nothing short of breathtaking. Simply amazing scenery. Even with the horrible quality of this video, the graphics shine through.
Well, we don't know if Quests will be involved in grinding at all. Quests could just be an easy way to make money like in FFXI.
Anyway, the game looks really nice so far. The UI looks easier to use, too.
And it looks like you can put numbers in your character names now.
I hope the numbers in names was just something for the alpha presentation. That's the one thing I love in FFXI, you don't see millions of xXxCloudXxx1990 and SePhirOtH1337 and all those other junk names you see in MMOs..
