Enhanced Materia with spell effects, Phoenix Down and Potions while Fighting

[Zhexos]

They are going to balance items, not Phoenix Down though.

They could just use Phoenix Down as a "Reraise" on the open world - if you die while carrying one, you would get instantly revived. The 'Unique' trait of the item would make it impossible to exploit this, and while not being an extremely needed effect, a lot of people would use it, especially when leveling low-level characters and alts.

Thanks for the great suggestion! The dev. team would like to consider making changes to Phoenix Down, so this type of suggestion is really helpful. If you have any other suggestion regarding Phoenix Down, please make sure to post them so we can relay it to the dev. team.

Not to be rude or sarcastic, but I figure a reraise type thing would be common sense. I mean you are practically borrowing ideas from FFXI as it is. o_o But yeah I like that type of suggestion, do put it into fruition.

I am very touched that they choose one of my question!

I am.. very disappointed with the answer.

Since they are constantly 'balancing' everything, they should be able to do this.

Anyway, thanks for answering, I cracked a smile

Having a Phoenix down revive someone with 1 hp an a long cast timer limited to one use per battle would not be unbalanced

The Phoenix down is also an iconic FF item and must serve a purpose.

Raids do not need to be choreographed to the extent that they are.

Crutches are fine.

The difference between crutches and not is a smooth fast easy clear verses a clear.

FF14 has some of the most unforgiving raid content in any game I've played. Let's mix it up a bit

One month (ok 3 weeks ) before replying, but you did, thank you!

And yeah I would accept the idea of reviving outside; since you won't make it work anyway, so it would be worth something.

Well, it's what I thought I did on the first page.

could also enable phoenix downs to work in dungeons during combat, but not raids or trials specifically.

Except they are asking for raise items, not the removal of raise sickness, which would still interfere with using raise multiple times.

Sweet! Finally Pheonix downs will be worth something XD

I still say their use would be perfect for two situation, one keep them unique items and remove the battle restriction. Two remove Unique status and keep the "Not in Combat" restriction.

A third alternative would be to remove both restrictions, increese the cool down, and restrict the item to open world only (Similar to how the icirrus feathers can only be use in PvP)

It's just a shame that their use is so incredibly limited simply because they are unique AND unusable in battle, If nothing was ever going to be done with them it may have simply been better never to impliment them to start with.
