That is a shame.
This is so much better than getting angry over ignorant forum posts!

You know whats worse then Utsusemi ? If you played FFXI recently you know what I am talking about.
Fanatics Drinks.
Ok so they fixed Paladin tanking, gave them an over powered shield. Ochain - it blocks 90-100% of the time for a 90-100% damage reduction and if somehow you do take some damage get 35% of that damage converted to MP so you can't really run out of mp.
But in Voidwatch the current high endgame content. you don't need a tank when everyone spams Fanatics Drinks which are constantly getting refreshed throughout the fight which make players invincible to the mobs attacks and tp moves. Better to load up your party with WAR, SAM, MNK, DRK BLM, BLU, COR, ect to kill the mob faster.
So yea they fixed blood tanking with Ochain but you don't even need a tank for anything sad isn't it your practically immune to physical damage now and nobody wants you. Ukko's Fury, Tachi:Shoha, Wildfire that stuff to death.
SE has never been nice to tanks.
Nobody can give an actual response to the OP? Wait, is this the same community that raged over option 4 in the server merge, got it changed to option 1 and after learning what they'd actually asked for, went batshit crazy? Yes, we all know what we want, don't we?
Utsu was actually a really cool concept in my opinion. Coupled with XI's battle system, it took some difficulty and mastery to be good at it, but I'm pretty sure utsu was an immensely popular skill for subbing, so I wouldn't say it made the game broke or problematic. Only bish was the quest. YES, utsu should make a return, there's a lot more to xiv that can make it a different mechanic.
I couldn't really see Utsusemi being used in XIV, although it would be cool too see a Nin throw it up in a CS or something for nostalgia. These forums are a riot though.. it's not even shocking anymore to see stuff like people claiming Utsusemi was somehow broken or broke XI.. If it did anything to the game, it helped to define the content's style and difficulty. Aside from that, it wasn't even required (or preferred -- esp for dd) in a lot of situations.
But I guess because some people have some personal issues with its popularity for tanking (even though it is a defensive ability afterall).... that means it must have been broken, and broke all the rest of the game too!.. /whatever
