I suppose the combat may come off as rather shallow, but I personally find it refreshing. Other MMO's I've played recently have been terrible boring and rather drawn out where combat is concerned. WoW's latest expansion doubled the health pools of most enemies which artificially made battles longer than they should be. In GW2 you can have hundreds of people running around the game world fighting off enemies that either die quicker than you can tag them or end up taking up to fifteen minutes to kill if you're in a small group or caught alone.
I'm hoping FFXIV's combat becomes a tad more difficult later one, but for the most part I'm pretty happy with it. I suspect later battles will involve a lot more strategy and careful positioning. I didn't get around to trying out any of the group content during the beta, so I won't comment on that.
