I miss protect.

Honestly I miss support spells in general.

Protect, Stoneskin, Bard’s old songs.
One thing I loved about Eureka (the only thing lol) was how the logos crystal things let you cast support spells like that again. Protect and Stoneskin return, Shell and Reflect are there, there’s spells like Bravery for damage support, debuffs like Paralyze and Sleep or Spirit Dart.

How come we can’t have stuff like this in the actual game?* It’s not like eureka content has a separate battle system lol


* (rhetorical question lol, it’s because it’s impossible to balance in any way)

It's absolutely not impossible to balance. BA was great. You could go without most support skills and be fine, but you could take them and tread a little safer.
Very little was hardline required. And even those you could make due without, using gear.

Eureka was so good, I'd take that as the main battle system any day than our cookie cutter dry and stale battle system we have now.
