Cure II and Version 2.0

I've been telling myself I shouldn't post this but... uh.
Whatever.

We've all seen the concept art and screenshots for Version 2.0 which were released. We've all had to change our pants. Some people several times.

What I'm posting about here is a little something in the top left corner of this screenshot.

See the spells?
We have Cure II and Firaga being cast by the party. The Dragoon also has his standard abilities set (True Thrust, Leg Sweep, Doomspike and the like ~)

Currently we don't have access to Cure II and Yoshida (God bless him!) has mentioned that we will be gaining new abilities in version 2.0.

Yoshida: [Zips his lips shut] We will definitely be adding more actions and abilities for the current jobs, especially because of the addition of the new PvP gameplay. That will require all new types of crowd-control, buffing and debuffing actions. We will tell you more about this system around when beta comes out.

What do you think, General discussion?
What would you like?

I'd love to be able to swap out current Bard abilities for more songs ~

A dev team said that the spell are from last year oct and that why you see it on the 2.0 system that would be gone once they redo the system to the current 1.0 spell system.

For that reason there are no plans to bring back the tier II/III actions actions.

It's a little curious why some of the old tiered ability names would be in the E3 2.0 screenshots if they really are "undoctored, 100% real-time in-game screenshots" as they say. But yes, SE has officially stated that in the 2.0 release, the old Tier II/III spells will not be returning.

You do know 2.0 been in the works since at least last year..right? "real-time" means it's an actual build and not an artist work of art. We had tier spells up until fairly recently.

Yeah, but the tier spells were phased out around the same time as the jobs were introduced. And in those screenshots, players are playing on jobs, using job abilities (Dragonfire Dive, etc). It seems like the system in the screenshots is a mishmash of old and new, it's just odd. I'm not trying to imply any deception by SE here, it's just strange.

I agree, more choice for bards would be awesome. Some debuff songs would be most welcome and perhaps some stuff like evasion+ and status resists.

They may have updated classes around the time jobs were introduced, but that doesn't mean they changed the classes in the 2.0 build when jobs were introduced. They simply added the jobs to the 2.0 build. They left the classes in their original form (with tiered abilities.)

Could be, not a bad theory.
