Yoshi-P on Character Growth

[Reynhart]

Of course you do. Even if this system were to change in the future, it certainly wouldn't happen in a patch cycle.

Yes, I understand that. But if we don't talk about it now, I think it won't change in the next expansion either.

The tome system should have stayed in ARR. They could have made a new system, still grindy, for HW. I think you can come up with a lot of ways to earn gear without keeping the same system for 4 years.

A little note : I think Wondrous Tails is a nice concept. It doesn't bring new content, but it still gives a new philosophy on how you chose the content you wanna do. On the other end, the last Anima requires at worst 24000 tomestones (Maybe less if they change the cost in Lore), while you're already grinding tomestones for every other gear you want.

Hildibrand doesn't need to be "deep". It was a great way to make silly things and include nods to previous FF games without fearing for consistency.
