Why can't we just have combo chains?

[Maeka]

I say make it a option not force every job to utilize it. I personally would never use it and it wouldn’t work for some jobs but to spit in the face of versatility is a crime. And even if it’s anemic it would make some jobs very boring and the games doing a fine job at that with as is reduced difficulty

I can't really think of any jobs it WOULD work for, really. I mean... even if you take, say, PLD, you'd be turning 4 buttons into 2. Wooo. You'd be going 1-1-1 or 2-2-2. Is it really THAT hard to do 1-2-3 or 1-2-4?

Let's see here... MCH only has one combo so you'd save a whopping 2 buttons, woo. DRG would be a nightmare to do properly, as would MNK, fact is MNK would be even worse because of how their stance system works with their combos, where you have 1 three-button combo, but each button has 2 different choices depending on what you need at any given time.

And Ninja, again, just like MCH, Ninja only has 2 3 button combos, and a whole load of oGCDs that wouldn't be helped whatsoever by the proposed system. BRD wouldn't even see any benefit, DNC... I don't think you'd want to do this, because of how their procs work. And I suppose there's a single combo for RDM.

I just........don't see the need in it.

The two jobs that do have lots of combos and combo abilities are the two jobs that this would be terrible for.
