Well, the issue I had with FF11 was it was too slow, and it was still that way in the alpha stage of ff14 but they changed it so now auto attack is much faster so that makes battles a little more interesting instead of the fucking sleep fest I used to have doing skill chains in parties. I also hated that you had to wait 2 fucking hours for a class cool down, it was pure loose on the combat and traveling part when I still played. The idea of only using Japan servers was also fucking retarded since a lot of timers were being controlled by JP people no matter which server you were on, I hope they fixed that shit.

Which again, is part of my complaint. It is extremely unlikely that they will have enough time to iron out the massive number of bugs these games always have. The combat does look like it is getting sped up, but we will see how that works. I like a slow paced MMO that lets you socialize. What they need to do is fix the UI. And by fix I mean make one intended for PCs rather than a controller.

I'm thinking that's why they are releasing the PC version first, because it's easier to work with and patch, basically they are just being assholes.
