Roleplaying games are roughly the same age as video games, with D&D first appearing in the mid 70s. I'd expect to see similar age trends for video gamers and roleplayers.

The combat system he describes reminds me of the attack chains from FFXI. With proper communication and planning, you could do some hefty damage with attack chains, but even then timing was important. Each player had a short window in which to add their own special attack to the chain, so reflexes were still important.

I think FFXIV is leaning towards the older players. Just looking at the Japan demographics, they'd be silly not to try to include the aging gamers. That or they're compensating for the fact that consoles aren't the ideal platform for MMO gaming. Either way, the 2.5 second global cooldown as well as the limited ability for tanks to taunt (one single target taunt with a 40s cooldown, no AoE taunt) indicates they expect players to be working more tactically. The general impatience that younger gamers often exhibit is not going to be rewarded in this game. It's also part of the reason I plan to level conjury with friends and guildmates rather than random pickup groups.
