Why does the Gold Needle even exist?

Gold Needle won't work on Void Ark Petrification. Half the items you used to use for lvl 50 shit don't work in 60 content. Even worse is all items share a recast timer. So say use a potion that has a 4 minute cooldown. Your Gold Needle can't be used for that 4 minutes either.

Phoenix Downs should be a one time raise considering you can only hold one of them and be able to be used in battle like EVERY OTHER FF GAME.

Most of the items in this game for battle use are completely worthless.

It by extension makes my Alchemist mostly worthless. Orchestrion rolls though. >:P

Agree, this is very annoying and doesn't make any sense to me...
SE, please fix that.

I don't know, I've always just found it annoying in this game how it'll teach you one thing but may be different the next trial without warning, you only have to see it once I guess but if you're gonna name it the same, animate the same and use the same icon at least be consistent, the amount of times I've esuna'd petrification and then forgetting it doesn't work in another trial is again annoying.

It's called the devs breaking their own rules.
