Combo suggestion for 4.0 : Multi class join combo attack

I don't know if we are all familiar with Chrono trigger but it would be amazing if we get something like their combo system.

A bit like blm/smn can do a special attack under certain instances. Same for monk/ninja/ drg or bard/ mcn , pld/drk/war or sch/ast/whm

Combined combos would be ace to have and it kinda give a fresh look into new action for all classes.

I too, would like to see the return of FFXIV's Battle Regimen.

Interesting idea.

I just don't understand the sudden influx of 4.0 threads. Sure, there are only two so far, but both were created very recently. 3.0 isn't out yet and we know from the example of 2.0 that pretty big features can come in patch content (beastribe dailies, housing, marriage, gold saucer, new classes and jobs).

4.0 is a looooooong waaaay off.

Yeah I'm not sure why they don't want to suggest a feature for now, but instead in something they might see in two years time.

Just Throwing the 4.0 cause I don't know how difficult and long it will take to incorporate this kinda system into HW. If I could be done sooner it would be even better. Just trying to be reasonable with Yoship.

Can you imagine a join combo attack for SMN and BLM casting a unique magic spell.

And this....

That said(also please note i liked your OP), unless The Yosh & Co. came up with combo attacks that were totally unique and at the same time totally interchangeable, the playerbase would pick one or maybe two as "superior" and proceed to stack the deck so they would always be available. Which would in time lead to some of the same rampant 'jobism' FFXI saw repeatedly as certain skillchains gained or lost popularity.

Sad, but i feel that is what would happen. PPl from XI know what i'm saying.

So again, great idea OP-absolutely love it. Just don't see it being implemented w/o it getting the spirit of the idea being ripped out in the name of efficiency.

You mean like Band from FFIV The After Years?

It was just an idea that I personally haven't seen Been implemented in other (or that many) rpg games.

A bit like having a drg combing with ninja throwing spears across while ninja stabbing the shait out of the add/ boss lol something like that .

Just giving some ideas. Was watching chrono trigger and I was like : why not have some special combos by uniting 2 classes together

Hey wait.. wasn't this already a thing in 1.0 that was scrapped for the Limit Break system? *rolls eyes*
Yea I would too like to see it return, its just funny you know.. because it was already in the game... and it was determined to be too difficult to coordinate. I mean, people can't even stack for plumes you expect them to be able to synchronize attacks? lol

Heres an example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L23sldpDSmA

EDIT: I truly would like to to see them return, but they would have to combine skills with long cooldowns so they couldn't be spammed. Like if you combined Dragonfire Dive with Flare to create some big AOE fire attack (FLARE DIVE!), or Steel Cyclone with Howling Eye (HOWLING CYCLONE!)

X-strike OP!
Unfortunately, this will lead to certain predetermined party comps based on the best combos which wouldn't be great.
We sort of have some aspect in the resistance debuffs, like Foe's Requiem into Flare though the rest are more passive.

I think a combo limit break would be awesome for 150% extra damage though.
Might be too much to ask since the combinations would increase incredibly as they introduced new classes.

a combo LB sounds awesome! That caster lb mixed with smns coming down would be epic!! Or something that identifies both classes within one attack :-)

I'd rather have individual limit breaks not running on a group limit bar than group limit breaks or combo systems with other party members. It's fine and all if you have a static I guess, but it's going to be chaos in Duty Finder, especially in fights where I don't know if the DPS I want to combo with can actually stay alive because he's never learned to avoid a plume or landslide before.
