IM LITTERALLY A HEALER!

(No Spoilers) Dont you just love it when you go through the MSQ as LITTERALLY A HEALER, and there is someone dieing or injured right in front of you, and all you can do is just stand there and watch, cant even lift a finger, or even offer to heal them.

I know it is often the healer role in this game gets the shaft in nearly everything from class and combat design to clothing and glamour, but cmon SE, its the little things that go a long way. :(

Some of these things tend to be job-specific rather than role specific. You usually get the option to save them if you're on Warrior.

i remember in Shadowbringer if you are a healer you will actually help Alphinaud heal someone in a cutscene.

In Stormblood, if you were a healer during the cutscene when Y’shtola gets hurt by a certain friend of ours you would help Krile to heal her.

tbh im glad we got the option before the first dungeon where we got acknowledged as the best healer because I was fuming at the screen when we were ignored.

why couldn't we get the easy part in that bit of the story as the healer, but nooo we have to go climb the damn tower.

I like to seperate «dead» and «fainted».
Hence the debuff «Brink of death» for party… mayby npc people are weak otherwise? But i do wonder why i just cant crit adlo in cutscenes tho…

It's good they throw a few bones in cutscenes like that. Of course, there's still the problem I have with most videogames with cutscenes that's just inherent in the medium- "MWAHAHAHA, I'm on the other side of the room and in a monologue! You can't stop me now!" *character draws weapon and grits teeth...menacingly*

I'm there the entire time muttering "You're a MAGE. Blow him up. Six seconds have gone by. Ten. Twenty. You haven't blasted him yet. Aaaaaaaand he's gone. Good job."

You're also literally a fighter, but only actually "fight" (if it can be called that) in 2 scenes in the entirety of the MSQ. Otherwise, you take out your weapon and watch all of the people you're with fight.

I did like that they added us helping healing in a couple CSs... but yeah, this annoys me greatly.

I second this. There are more than a handful of times where the big bad is standing there doing big bad things and I'm just standing there 6 feet from him scowling and making faces. Just cut his head off and be done with it.
