The FFXI "Gyms of Vana'diel" Self Improvement Reborn!

**EDITED "Self Improvement Programs" on Original Post**

Again, thanks Strife for the awesome ideas ^^! I've displayed a few examples, but the types of these sort of regimens could be endless lol This is a huge addition to this concept /cheer

Honestly....one of the best ideas for FFXI I have seen on the forums, the only thing I could say to improve such an idea is since you can be knocked out: add a "No weakness" factor into it, or something of that manor. Such as skilling up guard or parrying, etc. you have to actually get hit, and being knocked out and waiting 5min for weakness would still suck lol; other than that it sounds like an awesome idea.

Thanks for the feedback ^^/ I don't think I added it to the OP, but I know I did for the PvP, but overall every regimen started would grant the Player a "Special Instant Reraise Effect(instant Reraise upon being K.O.'d, and all HP/MP is restored with no weakness).
Just added a cool Defensive skill up regimen concept above ^^

Reading through a good chunk of the comments, I appear to be in the great minority on this topic. I guess I'm just and old school gamer type, but the only thing that frustrates me about this whole idea is the risk free skill ups, but I guess that's because I fought for my skill ups and it seems kinda sad for them just to hand them out to people that just jumped from lv 30 to 75 in a few days.
Much like crafting skills, combat skills are one of the major differences from player to player. The level of your skill showed how much effort you put into fighting things that wanted to make you die.
I've got no problem with them adjusting the rate at which we get skills to kinda compensate for the speed we get exp now, (I was surprised when I came back after a year or so, and netted 500 exp in a few minutes punching easy prey to death) but sitting in town and skilling up effortlessly seems like another hand out for the lv 90 players that don't know how to play the game that I keep hearing about lately.

I agree ^^, The Skill up section of the OP has been updated/ Thanks for the feedback

^^ If it wasn't an important request for something that's truly needed for this beloved game, I wouldn't invest the time Plus... normally I would be playing FFXI ^^; which would also reduce my time for this lol.

I love this Idea. Reason being is cause when level sync came along, skills became a thing of the past. With Abyssea now, any1 and every1 can be great at any job. To me, this idea sounds like something that would allow player(like me) that dont have a lot of time to play or make gil or really do anything, the chance to get a lot more done with the time they have. This also seems to want to make a player know what his job can do and how it functions properly. Plus with the skill up option, level sync pt's wouldn't be that much of a problem.
