Turn Monk into Sabin

The idea is simple.

Remove The Forbidden Chakra and Enlightenment.

5 Chakra stacks now turns "Meditate" into "Blitz".

During "Blitz", stance requirements are removed and Bootshine, Dragon Kick, Twin Snakes, True Strike, Demolish and Snap Punch can be used at will (like Perfect Balance)

Using these moves in a specific order during "Blitz" transforms the Meditate button into a powerful super move. i.e. : Suplex, Rising Phoenix, Bum Rush etc.

Example 1: 5 Chakra > Blitz > True Strike > Twin Snakes > Bootshine > Snap Punch > Bum Rush

Example 2: 5 Chakra > Blitz > Twin Snakes > Dragon Kick > Bootshine > Demolish > Dragon Kick > Suplex

To fix it so TK isn't useless, performing a Super Move grants Max GL stacks. So when you get 5 Chakra, you perform Tornado Kick, Go into Blitz, Perform your super move, and go right back to wailing on the enemy and building 5 Chakra again.

Blitz combos need to be memorized, are performed on the GCD and have different functions and benefits for different situations. Potencies for all moves are adjusted to prevent being over/underpowered yada yada.

That's it.

Is this derivative of Ninja and Dancer? Kinda, yeah.

Would it be more fun? I mean, you get to Suplex things so you tell me.

Especially now that MCH became Edgar, SE reunite these brothers!

That's not a terrible idea. One thing they said they wanted for Mnk to be when 2.0 started was a combo master. This seems like a decent way to do that.

The day MNK can suplex the Phantom Train is the day I main it exclusively.

The problem is, it's not really MNK you're actually playing as, you're just a PGL who has learned some Ala Mhigan martial arts on top of your basic streetfighting skills (like all the old 1.0 classes that upgrade to Jobs), so the abilities will reflect that (having said that, there is nothing stopping SE bringing in some of Sabin's skills, but they're not going to outright turn their whole ability set into Sabin outright).

Incidentally my partner mains MNK and RPs his character as a martial artist, so I think I have quite some explaining to do to him later.... :p

This is literally the best rework I've ever seen proposed and I am not being sarcastic.

The most fun monk ever was in the FF series was Sabin and giving me Sabin would feel fantastic. I don't even care if the Suplex animation is super goofy and exactly like in VI, because that'd still be the best thing ever. If it's visually obnoxious you could add a toggle for other players, like the one to shrink Demi-bahamut.

I'd play MNK if it behaved like this! Heh... But such a thing is only possible in the next xpac though :T
