I've just found it to be slow-paced and rigid because of how long the global cooldown is. Ability. Wait. Ability. Wait. Ability. Wait. There's so much waiting around in combat.
Let's cut the crap – combat in FF14 feels wooden, terrible, slow, barely playable, stale – why tiptoe around it? Comparing it to combat in Blizzard games or Lost Ark is pure grotesque. Ridiculous.
its not bad but its just boring, i dont care if i get more buttons later when i have few combos which i need to press over and over again, and just weave some skills, its just boring
Ngl, as a huge Final Fantasy 14 fan, I totally agree with this. I think there are A LOT of various issues with FFXIV combat. The combat is just not my thing on a fundamental level.
LOL better game than WoW thats for sure. Devs actually make good quality content, STEADY, not buggy and actually care about the player not the payer. zero p2w. haha WoW andies mad the game is doing better in every way. Fruitbowl portraits in WOW hahahahha
I never heard of anyone say i play ff for the combat, im sure they exists (as maybe the comments will prove) but overwhelmingly its other aspects that get ppl to play this game, like the story, the sideactivities, the encounter design, the music, their social circle etc.
Combat is the sole reason I dislike FF, I totally get why some people love it however. For me, the game in general has way to much waiting around, and slow paced mechanics. Im here to play, I don't have 96 hours to do shit after work.. or before.
What exactly does someone who didn't even get to stormblood let alone the later expansions know about the combat of the game though? Really can't take that seriously when someone who just played the game for an easy cash grab moment and didn't even have a lvl 80 or 90 character to talk about combat. 😂
Only people that like combat in FFXIV are raiders. And not because they really like it, but because raiding in FFXIV is way easier than in other MMO's so it is an easy "flex."
definitely hard agree with this, been playing for nearly a decade, they compensate for a slow combat system by throwing a bunch of mechanics at you back to back that forces you to multitask . It gives you the illusion that there is alot of action taking place but really you're just attacking will dodging intermittently. and the combat doesn't even feel good until you're at endgame. and even then it feels like a breeze if you're used to fast paced games.
YEah hate to say it but wows combat is the smoothest and most on point in any MMO. Somehow they caught lightning in a bottle 20 years ago, and no one can match it. 14 def feels more clunky, and the camera has limitations. But I quit wow and wont be going back, Blizzard is a scumbag company. Soooo 14 till the end. But would like to see its combat improved.
Cap
He doesn't even play the game lmfao
Once I got used to 14's combat I cant go back to wow style gotta have communio and my legacy movement
I got SO MUCH HATE for pointing out that when CASTING or doing certain abilities. The characters SLIDE/GLIDE….. FF Players always got Hostile with me… They were like "YEAH SO OK SO WHO CARES"……
Asmon did one mistake when compared ff with wow. He compared old wow with modern ff
dungeons are extremely stale with 3 button aoes
I like to think of ff14s combat more like a fighting game, this input will lead to this combo which will then make me do this, or I can use this combo string to buff my next one, or so on and so forth, ff14s combat is fine, wows combat is fine but they feel drastically different from each other (bare in mind it’s been a long time since I tried wow so my memory may be hazy )so it’s unfair to compare em to closely, everyone has their own preference for combat, I personally prefer 14
"In WoW combat is immediately good" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's just like Wow's combat. Tab target, hit a move. The combat all together is old. It's a 2014 game. But people don't play for the combat.
I agree, I love ffxiv but the game really shines through boss mechanics. I'm main dps and it's just A.B.C over and over. some jobs might have a little gimmick too it and thats it. There is a lack of freedom there. I fiished Golbez Extreme and it doesn't take long for me to just zone out and hit buttons in a order unintrested untill the next mechanic.
Someone's a little late to the party, year old take
"That's about it" – Porting to the Gold Saucer 👌
To be honest with you, when I tried WoW the combat still felt like ass at low level vs. High level.
It's just like that with mmos/rpgs3
I disagree… wow combat is way too confusing to be fun from the start.
I don’t see a difference between WoW and FF14. Maybe Cause I’m just a normie, but an extra second GCD doesn’t change my life very much. I barely notice it.
Kinda like people saying they see a difference between 120fps and 240fps. The difference to the human eye and what the human eye can pick up on is extremely negligible.
FF14 has more similarities to WOW combat than it does differences
If it was like Black Desert online Combat maybe it will be alright?
Funny how much the FFXIV community tries to comvince him that the combat is good. If you have to spend 50-300 hours into a game before it gets good, then it is flawed. Combat and community is FFXIV weakest points.
if ffxiv were like wow or better in terms of combat, i would certainly play it over wow, but to me combat is 60% of an mmo
found this clip while looking for a good reason why ff14 combat is so damn boring . apparently it's my fault that i dont like to wait for mid game /endgame to have fun playing according to comments lo . damn even lotro is so much funnier you dont even have to play sentry , just hnter or champ are a lot more fun than this load of crap
