Square Enix has released a new video from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. The video shows alpha footage fo the Tam-Tara Deepcroft instanced dungeon and players taking on the monsters within. Check it out!
The instanced dungeon in this video is designed for low level players. Targeting and actions are demonstrated with the mouse instead of keyboard for greater clarity.
The battle system is currently undergoing significant revision, including changes to all damage algorithms and the claim system.

You're able to move while attacking; the animations just aren't in there yet so they don't show it. The exclusion to this is casting a magic spell from what I've been able to tell (in terms of needing to stand still to cast; you can move instantly, but it will be interrupted). You can see the Dragoon moving when he throws his lance in the last few seconds of the video, as an example.
There should be an interview explaining this at ffxivcore.com dated a few months ago or something.
Looks very shiny, and hitting the enemy feels nice. Looks much better, we shall see though.
Also, SKILL CLICKER! AHHHHH

Just like every other if not all Final Fantasy games, ever. Yeah, I'm fine with that.
tahts not true. Even the single player ones the character jumped towards the monster to hit it then jumped back. The newer versions added improved mobility. This here in ARR is generic stand still asian combat. Dont get me wrong, ill have a blast the first free month of ARR but i wont sub if the dont tweak lack of mobility a bit... specially mages, and archers (or all ranged classes to be exact), fixable with some instant spells
you don't suppose the housing can be expanded later on?
And instanced dungeons are not decades old tech. I seem to remember playing lineage 2 waaaayyyy back at launch and the dungeons were not instanced.
