I agree. The combat does not match the content. We talked about this a year ago. It's very wow and if they aren't careful it could head into FFIV territory.
They really should have waited to release EA after they had more starting areas in and a better grasp of TTK and grouping. Also, the classes are just very bland. They really need to look at them ASAP. I think maybe a few are passable, but a lot of them are so dull and boring.
