Possible Battle System Changes for 5.0

[Derio]

DRK is getting a major rework, same goes for all jobs that use mp and tp.

I wonder what they are going to do with role actions. And of course what moves are they going to condense/remove.

Making Role actions a choice was a mistake originally. Giving us 10 slots was a bandaid to probably just removing the slots altogether and giving us the abilities straight up at the appropriate levels.

All Tanks will just get Rampart at 8, none of this slot nonsense.

Having choices is cool, but it's a big sacrifice. I would rather make the sacrifice of being the same as every other PLD if it meant that all my Healers have Esuna and all my DPS have Diversion.

Also if they're job specific then they can be themed visually vs not quite fitting the theme because it's for the role. Like what happened with Dark Knight's defense skill.

Also new things like "provoke" paladin could slap their shield, warrior shout, Dark Knight point their huge sword at a target.

Or in other thought/words it's just a slightly less inconvenient Blue Mage issue that they said they wouldn't want to deal with. So if they're not okay with one, I'm assuming they'll want to not be okay with the other (at this point).
