Ill put 300 on it just because Closed is almost over. Also, PC or PS3.


Co

And my counter argument to the "its almost over" is that rhe phase part of phase 3 is going to be longer than all beta weekends combined

Yeah, and the last beta phase was supposed to last a week, but instead only lasted a few days.

actually based on this post
http://forum.square-enix.com/ARR-Test/threads/37407-FINAL-FANTASY-XIV-A-Realm-Reborn-Beta-Test-Phase-3-Outline

Duty finder was suppose to be another normal beta,

however the final phase of phase 3 is suppose to last "several days"

If there is updated information confirmed somewhere that I have not seen, feel free to correct me

It's not getting changed.

Chuki (JOL): A more technical question about the Global Cooldown (GCD). Some players think that it’s way too long and it should be reduced to 1.5s to make the game faster rather than only press one button, wait 2.5s, press another button. Do you have any plans to address that problem?

Naoki Yoshida: Actually at the moment we are fine with it, some players might feel it’s just too easy but we’d like them to consider the real beginners. With this kind of content, it can be easy, yes, but now it’s only beta 3, then up to level 50 it can become really tricky, especially the endgame content. I’m actually concerned that it might be too quick, it should be challenging for the players.

If some people think that 2.5s is too long, they might not be using their ability as much as they should, not in an efficient way. If you use your abilities properly you can bring damage to the battle, if you fight on your own it is alright to just do it, but if you are fighting with companies in multiplayers, if you are not doing it properly, the other players might think that you are doing something wrong. Make sure you use your abilities in a correct way to bring more damage.

Very disheartening. The excuse of catering to beginners is exactly what it is, an excuse. How does it help a beginner in any way at all? If it takes them 2.5 seconds to think, then they can still take 2.5 seconds to think on a 1.5 GCD. But what happens when they learn? Congrats you can't further improve. Only disadvantage would be in PvP. Like saying education in America is too hard so we're dumbing it down for kids to catch up, oh wait, got fresh idiots doing things they are "qualified" for already.

True there will be a lot more abilities at 50 but at that point the player should know what goes with what seeing how attack skills are so few and not very many complicated utility skills. BUFF BUFF BUFF use attack skills in sequence. Literally that's how the skills are. No counterplay or uniqueness at all. Pugilist only one that has something different with stances but even then that's just a glorified combo system.

Look at league. Has over 100 champs yet level 30's know 75% of what all champs do. That's 300 skills that they know not including passive. (4 x 75) And League is VERY casual.
WoW has 25+ skills for each class, most skills having a unique property to them.
FFXIV skills literally most of them don't change in function.

I personally think the lack of skills and the 2.5s is to cater to the PS3 controller users.

well if the battle system stays the same as it is then i am not even going to bother to buy the game once it comes out because the battle system is just shit right now and not even worth my time if they wont fix it
