I am totally confident that if they had pushed ahead with their battle revamp and left the Armoury system be we would have seen spectacular results. Extreme freedom has never been seen in a game. Demon's Souls has a lot of freedom and it is pretty interesting - the tactics one can use in that game. They should have made point allotment more drastic instead of being afraid of players breaking the system. In my opinion with that one issue addressed the Armoury system would have shined. Now we are going to have to wait another 10 years for a game to come out with this awesome system while FFXIV retreats into the dark past of MMO tradition.

Yea, I like the armoury system as it is, unlike some of the other playerbase which seems to hate it beyond redemption. I hope it doesn't get jacked too badly....if it does, I hope only minimally eg. only any new abilities to the classes will be restricted to class-only. Or perhaps rank 30+ abilities being limited to their own class would still be reasonable. Any jacking off past that, and I will be slightly disappointed, but I'll live with it, just losing a bit of joy if they take any more away of our freedom.

I agree on the point allotment aspect, though. It would have seen perhaps an improvement to how the battle system and classes work. But regardless, we shall see whose view will end up true, Neptune. Yours, or mine.
