[Suggestion] Make items useful

Hello again!, one of the greatest problems in battle it's the repeatability in battle.
One thing to prevent this a little, and make battle more dinamic, is using items. Why do not have ''super potions''?, ''phoenix down''?, ''super eter''?, ''mega potion''?, etc... current items are unuseful. Potions heals 200hp!!!, please make potions and new battle items useful to make a better and fun battle. (and it also gives more gil to Alchemist, they are poor lol).

I agree. game is lacking in the usable item area. Tho, right now Items arent really useful unless you are soloing and just so happen to not have any healing spells/abilites. Hopefully with the combat changes, they will make more items and increase their worth in combat both solo and in parties.

Also the accesability to said potions need to be inproved, clicking U and then potion or something from list (of many other things if you have been travelling long) and then yourself...takes way too long. Let us equip potions to hotbar or whatever. This isn't practical.

Why didn't they put potions to buy from the shops and ethers. also they could scrape the HP and MP regen and use items this makes it so you have to be prepared when you go out battling.

I can see the current system working with the right battle system adjustments but I like what you mentioned. Having a regular or even mild use of potions and consumables on the battlefield would encourage a market for crafters and get some of the (in my opinion) flooding of items on the market out of the system. Things would need to be crafted to cater to this type though and I am not sure thats what they are planning on for the new battle setup.

I see what ya mean. I would suggest that you buy basic portions from an NPC then using simple crafting to changing that potion into a high potion or x-potion. Also they could make them untradable when made but it can be used on other PCs.
