Regarding Crafting Changes in 2.0

[Jynx]

I imagine the instabillity and orb effects may dissapear if we are loosing our "Wait" option. Give people a complex system and they complain, make it easier and they complain.

You can't please people. I can't wait to see the flood of people saying they are "Dumbing" down the crafting system when people complained it was too complex to do anything other than spam regular.

Complex, but not obtuse. I think that's what most people are looking for.

Not much meaning behind 90% of the craft skills either. Hope those are getting a revamp along with this.

I think Timing of actions may be important to results of synthing

Could not agree with you more. Makes me wonder if we will see more crafting related materia once they develop this more.

...but since the time gauge will be eliminated, it’ll be possible to halt crafting between commands.

...we will be changing the current four command system into a two command system and each will have more weight behind them.

Does this mean AutoCraft on Standard with 2 options to halt/change the results? And are the 2 choices "Careful" and "Wait"?

If so, I support this move 100%. If it means something else, please help me to understand.

I like how this tidbit of information raises more questions than answers ^.^;

I forsee the options being:
1) Normal Synth (Less loss of durability, less gain in quality, higher chance of success)
2) Precision Synth (HQ Synth in disguise) (High loss of durability, high gain in quality, lower chance of success)
3) <hidden option: wait> -- Choosing nothing will just cause nothing to happen
4) <press down three times to releval JP button> (causes instant HQ with 5 materia attached)

I dont understand you people who dont use "Rapid".
Perfection > Rapid = up to 30% Progress with 0 Durability loss
I use it ALL the time.

The action I hardly ever use is Bold/Careful, but that is because I would rather have more Durability for more Touchups than higher quality.
