The combat in Final Fantasy XIV

The combat system is very interesting.

First off, there is no auto attack of any kind (unless of course the game will allow macros). It will be a number set like most MMOS, but there are some key differences. The game is going to have an attack bar similar to other final fantasy games. After each attack, you will have a short time， you will have to wait for the bar to fill back up before you can attack again.

The game is going to be turn based like XI was, but the twist is that you will have two bars. Why two bars? You will be able to do a weak attack with strong accuracy and a strong attack with weak accuracy. Due to the attack bar system, you will have to plan attacks out while you are in combat. This is going to make boss battles VERY interesting. If you go for a strong attack and miss it could be fatal!

Also the time of each bar is going to be different between which attacks you use. I believe it will also be shorter if you miss an attack, but most attacks I saw didn't fail.
