SPOILER ALERT!!!
As I posted this I was thinking about Sanji from One Piece...oh boy.
The point is that those characters can "Fight" where as crafters in this game are limp noodles in the fighting department.
*Throws a Rock*.
We could give cooks the ability to devour monster like Quina did as to taste the produce.
Now this I agree with. One thing XIV is severly lacking, is story elements to take on with a party. I didnt like that XI required a party for almost everything, but that doesnt mean I want to solo everything. An even mix would do fine. A couple solo missions and then a must have party mission for every set would be idea.
What would've been even better, is if the crafting classes could attack/debuff or buff as they were initially supposed to.
