Reasoning for removal of TP, but not MP?

[Zyneste]

Its honestly just because of Raise. The only classes that are affected by MP are those who can raise Raise. Healers + SMN/RDM. If raise was on a CD for everyone, we wouldn't have MP either.

BLM is practically a physical class with their changes to Umbral ICE.

MP is used as a barrier to Raise spamming.

Without MP, players would be able to easily spam Raises without a concern. Especially RDM whom can generate a bunch of insta-cast Verraises.

Outside of that, Healers have Piety that exists purely to aid with MP. I don't think they feel like redesigning Piety to be another useless stat something else.

Finally, they probably want to keep MP around because its iconic. Like, most FF games had HP and MP. TP is less used in games, especially as a resource to spend in combat.

I think it's a bit of a shame they've just gone the way of simply outright deleting TP and having physical jobs just not have to deal with any resource management outside of their gauges as well as having Casters just do whatever they want so long as they press Lucid every 60 seconds... Takes some of the fun out of actually thinking about your rotation and resource management if favour of "Herp derp press all the skills!"

..But they could keep these barriers if they just put the offensive AoE abilities off MP and kept heals/raise on mp...

Why is this an issue to anyone? How it was prior to ShB was that melees would run out of TP consistently on aoe pulls, where as this was a more non issue for casters broadly. Of course, if battle went on long enough, even casters would run out. But that was more an exception than the rule. This made the idea of "stopping AoE Spam" moot because the only ones who got stopped by that were melee classes. The changes made should even that out a bit if not slightly inverse it. If the pack isnt dead with this much aoe going out, then there's something wrong with the party.

Just from browsing through the classes: every class which relied on TP as their main resource is now your standard "Press the button when off CD without having to think further" whereas MP classes still need to calculate their resources.

Why the glaring difference?

TP was useless, I do not understand why anyone would remove MP. If you remove MP it wouldn't even make sense.

Don't just say something without providing evidence of some sort.

TP got removed, which results in any TP class being able to spam their AoE spells all the time, which wasn't possible before.
Using that as a base it makes no sense why any AoE spell on a MP class still cost resources, right?

If the scope was to enable AoE spamming you would grant it both groups, TP and MP classes, and not just TP classes.

Go on.

MP is just old TP at this point. They literally just added an extra zero from 1,000 to 10,000.

MP was always the same as TP, except that piety could modify its max value, with that changed it is a carbon copy of TP.

Don't you get tired Pushing a Doom Spike or an Overpower the same as you might run out of Aether to cast magic?

The only real issue I see with the changes is that TP is infinite, but MP took a nerf with the loss of Refresh. MP Sustain with multiple deaths will be a serious issue.

[Critical-Limit]

TP used to be managed in heavensward. I remember having to use invigorate@ half TP. Then you’d get it back right before it fell to zero. As least it was that way for first raid tier as Monk

Most of the caster classes already could spam AoE abilities just fine. Spamming of AoE abilities is not the issue.
It is mainly healing that is limited by MP. For anything else running out of MP/TP is/was almost never an issue.
