Followed and tested Pantheon for years. It has some stuff going for it, but I find the combat less than fun. Kind of like the inverse of the old easy to learn, hard to master that made so many games great. Its hard to learn and easy to master because its mostly just rotation spam and knowing what openers you provide for your group.
Feels like they've wasted so much time trying to reinvent the wheel and focus on the less important parts that they forgot what they were doing. Feels too inspired by FFXI as well, which was shit compared to EQ.
Played a laggy Monsters and Memories alpha test and immediately liked it more.
