    We get a new skill in our rotation that extends Huton. I'm insanely happy about that. Are people really complaining about a DPS loss when we can effectively cut Huton out of our Ninjutsu rotation?

    Enmity skill? I'd still rather just have Goad on myself and have Archer instead of Lancer as a subclass for Quelling Strikes, but this is still nice unless you play solely in a static I guess. Pretty weak thing to mention though. How about an update on being able to see party members TP instead? Bard has been waiting for that since 1.x...

    Positional requirements? Don't see the fuss. I'd rather have positional requirements on Ninja, which gets a native movement speed buff, that on Dragoon which moves like a sack of potatoes. Ninjutsu already made Ninja unique anyway, most of the old Jobs are getting interesting unique mechanics because they didn't really have any, complaining that Ninja isn't when it's had its version from the start seems petty.

    Can't really expect a new Ninjutsu given the current set up and lore (4th Mudra being OP/each Ninjutsu having multiple combinations/etc.), but perhaps they'll add another skill similar to Kassatsu which buffs the next one cast. Something which changes their effect could be a nice way to effectively give us more Ninjutsu. Could always have a skill which effectively just lets us spam Ninjutsu as well, something like Black Mages Enochian perhaps. I'd quite like something which removes the cooldown for a period of time, but with each Mudra cast the duration decreases; Fuma Shurikan spam!

    Movement speed comes more into play when you're also having to deal with fight mechanics and dodging, unless you sit on the edge of the flank/rear all fight and eat every WotL?

    .... are you even serious right now the movement speed buff really does jack shit for anything. I'd rather give up the movement speed buff so people would stop bitching over it and guess what nothing would change at all ever. So my question to you is have you ever seen a comparison video of movement?
