ELEMENTAL WHEEL REWORKED ?

[Obysuca]

"Yoshida said something like not wanting people to have to much to think about or something" That really makes me fell like he thinks that people wouldn't be able to use there brain if this was added and people would have a panic attack and a brain melt down lol.

Judging by how I see people now with how easy everything is yet they still can't do it (Literally pressing 2 buttons to move out of landslide/plumes comes to mind lol), I'm sure people might >.> Tbh, I'd love for more stuff that made you think / change what you use depending on weakness.

From what I read, a lot of the good stuff was taken out/never added, because Yoshi stated it'd "cause stress for players"

we felt that this wasn’t good and decided to get rid of it."

What else do you need to know or ask? they already told you why it was removed and why its not coming back.

It would surely cause balancing issues and they don't want that. Makes the game more accessible, but also less diverse. Currently, all elemental (and other) associations are purely cosmetic and therefore unnecessary and could be replaced with a simple magical damage category.

I don't get it though there a games that have more complicated boss fights than this game does. And you don't just give up after one lose you pick ur self up and you learn from ur mistakes and get better. Just like we do with any thing in real life. Yoshida needs to believe that us players are a lot more smarter than that. Its like having someone hold ur hand through everything in life and living in a bubble lool.

if they removed the elemental resistances/weakness then why the hell are there still materia for it? makes absolutely no sense to keep 1 part of a removed mechanic.

Makes you wonder if they might bring it back reworked and improved for the first exp pack. After what you just stated.

It's removed from damage we deal to enemies, not damage enemies deal to us. Enemies have no native resistance, we however, can.

I know we can just cut out the middle man, instead of XI's elemental weakness/physical damage weakness... we could just turn all mobs into "rock type", "scissors type" and "paper type" and do the same for all weapons and skills, you could even have AoEs, think of it you could cast Scissorsga or Paper II! Instead of "Hundred Fist" you could have "thousand paper cuts"' though I guess you could make the case for hundred fist being rock, what with the fist and all...

It the same thing isn't it?

We dont have elemental weakness but we have blunt/piercing/slashing resistance. Good job SE.
