Removal of tier based actions.

[Engineer]

i'll wait to make my decision after i see the list to say whether it is intelligent or complete ignorance.

you completely screwed your own example given off your argument btw.

if you want to use the first example with the new system thm would have the capped fire spell.....oh and blm would as well. you used tiered magic in both cases in your argument.

if you want to stick to your second example it would be no different than thm having the tiered fire spells and the blm having tiered flare ancient magics.

you intentionally gave one example of a tiered spell using the next tier in one example and then a tiered spell compared to an ancient magic in the other. try to compare apples to apples next time, please.

Let me explain..

Lets say Thm obtains a non scalable fire III spell at level 45, and black mage recieves a higher tiered exclusive non scalable Fire IV spell at 50, right.. ok. Now what would happen when the level cap is raised to 65? Thm would have to get another fire spell right? So thm gets a non scalabel level 60 fire V spell, now the problem is that, that level 60 fire V spell is more potent than the level 50 exclusive blm fire IV spell.

Yoshida said that Jobs are more defined in role, so Black Mage needs to be more Nuking oriented than Thm. The problem with the above example is that Thm and Blm become similar once the lv cap raises, and players will not have an incentive to be a BLM.

Now if Yoshida has a scalable Fire spell on Thm, and a scalable Flare spell on Blm, it would keep Black mage in its defined role when level cap is risen. At 65 Thm will still have the scalable Fire spell, as well as Blm having the scalable Flare spell. No matter the level, the scalable Flare will always be more powerful than Fire.

So scalable spells are awesome. As a BLM you can have both Fire and Flare to help with hate control, just use fire inbetween flare casts.

The moral of the story is scalable spells is the best fit to keep Jobs defined from classes, if not scalable, then there would be outdated Blm spells that would become weaker than the Thm spells (in 1st example) when cap is raised.
