Even though it's super confusing at first, I honestly kind of love the dynamic "Combo" abilities you get in PvP, and when playing other characters in the MSQ.
As someone who plays FFXIV exclusively with a controller, the idea of being able to bind upwards of 3 abilities to a single button sounds like a *godsend*. It would clear up SO much real estate, I would be completely ecstatic!
Now admittedly, I also wouldn't mind maybe improving the visuals a little bit.
Maybe when you have a combo assigned to a hotbar, you can see the numbers "1-2-3" at the top of the ability, each number in its own little circle (or just "1-2" for combos with fewer skills).
At the start, "1" is a white circle, and "2-3" are in black circles. Then when the second skill is ready, "2" is in a white circle and "1- -3" are in black circles.
Not that it's absolutely necessary -- in fact, I don't imagine it makes any different at all -- but I just personally kind of like knowing "where I am" in terms of a combo!
Honestly, I would *ADORE* an addition like that. Especially on my DRK; between his core rotation, and his AoE 2-button combo, that's 5 freaking buttons I have to have bound. Imagine condensing that to only 2!!!
Obviously, it wouldn't work for every class (Red Mage comes to mind), but for those it would... well, why not?
Who knows, might make certain classes a little more inviting to play. The Lancer/Dragoon springs to mind.
