Suggestion regarding L I M I T B R E A K

I liked to think of Misery's End as a player limit break when we still had it on bard :D, RDM's Verholy/Verflare/scorch also feels like a mini LB

And because the original version of FFXIV (1.0) was produced by the same guy (Hiromichi Tanaka, who also produced FFIII), FFXI's system was varied and reused in FFXIV, this time the TP required to use a weaponskill was far less and thus you could use them more frequently.

This changed after Tanaka left following 1.0's disasterous development and launch and Yoshi took over, resulting in ARR where you no longer had to gradually build up TP, but had 1000 TP ready to go and would slowly regenerate it over time (the reason for this is players were complaining about how slow 1.0's battle system was and wanted it to be faster and flashier like battle in 1.0's opening movie). And the culmination of this is now with SHBs TP has been completely scrapped and weaponskills can be spammed to your heart's content (some being given a MP cost instead as a concession to resource management).

This is also why the actual Limit Break system added with ARR in trials and dungeons is party wide. It's meant to be a literal desperation attack and not something for a single player to spam (because you were meant to have weaponskills for that). It's possible SE may continue to refine the Limit Break system, but I doubt it will be made purely unique and independent for each player.

The bolded part makes me think that the better suggestion then, in tandem with OP's wishes, is to simply have the lb animation as a feature in gpose.

You cannot gather Limit Break 3 solo, you need 8 People for 3 bars. 4 People for 2.

Should take those suggestions to the respective topics then, all I wanted to suggest in this topic is the LB3 Animations for Gpose or somewhat^^

Well I've only seen the 2LB and there my dancing kitty suddenly pulled out 2 Crossbows (where did she get those?!) and went all "Desperado" with her confetti arrows.
Is the 3 LB shared too or unique to every class?

1 and 2 are always shared by roles (tank, healer, melee, ranged, caster). 3 is always the unique one. Which is why it's mostly really the only one anyone cares about getting to see/use in this manner.

Hehe in 4 Years i only used LB 3 with my Healers sometime.
Think a lot times in Royal Menagerie at Stormblood Release because a lot of Players liked to fly from the Platform.
But yes every Job has his own unique LB3.

OP you could freely use limit break in pvp if you want. :p

In wolfens den to be exact, you could generate adrenaline bar and use LB at the dummies.

Just do what I do: steal it from the melee in 24-mans. :D

LB3 is unique to each class. You will only see it in content with 3 LB bars—8-mans and 24-mans, specifically.

Would be nice if they just didn’t tie limit breaks to the number of party members.
It sucks when you get a disconnect and lose an LB3 because of it.

Just have 2 bars available in Dungeons, and 3 bars available in Trials/Raids.
Then, you could have 1 bar available whenever, in a light party or even solo. It would fill slower when solo of course, meaning you’d very rarely be able to use it, but it’d be a bonus option and useful for adding some variety to solo duties.
And when solo, your LB1 could have your LB3 animation.
