It's still the same principle. You toggle lock then select attack, then the skill. Though like mentioned in a post prior you can use TP at any time and not wait for it to max. In this video the guy playing Sheathed and unsheathed alot but as I remember FF11 the was a delay when you did so and someone new would hit it a few times thinking the first try didn't work. There is still that delay in battles. I use to love running from a fight in 11. You had to toggle attack off or you'd just run around the mob. Even when you toggled it off and ran the character would stop running, sheath their weapon and start running again.
I noticed that they added that enemies can flee now. I hope to god that they don't do that in big maps, least you aggro half the area running after it or it aggros the same creatures. Oh man... The Kuftal tunnel lizzies were great for that in FF11 "Whm got a lizzy aggro! ...Make that 12 of them"
one thing FF11 had that seems to be present in 14 is the massively confusing maps. For the short time I played Wow it was hard to get lost. in FF11 it was easy in specific areas lol Boyahda Tree, Kuftal, the tunnel to the glaciers(I forget the name. It was left, left and a right at the large scorpion... thank god it only showed up in that spot, it was my marker lol) Crawler's Nest was a interesting one. Eldieme Necropolis was a great one too but these areas had nasty mobs lurking about and the stress of getting mauled probably made things more confusing then they were. I'm sure I'm not the only FF11 player to travel 30-40 minutes to a camp in one hit death areas to party wich would last 15 minutes
... gah. also the White mage was usualy the first to get killed while getting to camp lol
I actualy did like FF11 when I played it but it was the comunity that made it great. I had alot of great friends there in Bismark. When they said they were making a FF14 I wasn't expecting it to be so close to 11. I was kinda shocked when I found out.
I remember when the Final Fantasy creator said that No Final Fantasy would resemble another lol but that was a looooong time ago, things change.
I'm actualy 50/50 on the game atm, to be fair.
just don't want to be let down ><
