[dev1242] Revamping Food and Medicine

[CircusMidget]

This Medicine overhaul is a pretty epic Fail. The best thing to happen to Medicine since launch was the dramatic reduction in Medicine Recast timer and now the are going to make them stupidly long again? Yoshida must be BiPolar or something. He keeps approving changes that change changes he already approved that made the game better.

Worse yet, ALL medicine is going to be on a single recast timer? WTF is that? I could see all Status heals on one timer, all potions on one timer, all ethers on one timer. But ALL medicine on one timer? Are you serious?

Lol rage troll.

You mean he lowered the cooldown on the medicines that did ALMOST NOTHING?

And when they introduce medicines that actually DO SOMETHING theY increased the cooldown again? NONSENSE!

That is the worst logic i have ever seen in my Life. Making Super Powerful Potions that can only used once every god knows how many minutes makes them useless. The only people who are going to use these are Stupidly Elitist Linkshells that require members to carry them into every event just for the sake of being Elite. Every fight in this game is to easy to require these Kind of potions. On top of that, the Ridiculously strict Stat caps that are in this game will cause these potions to do practically nothing.

Medicines Should be designed for casual and solo players. They should be a reasonable alternative to equipping cure and protect on your Melee Class.

Most importantly, there is no reason for EVERY medicine to share a recast timer. That makes absolutely no sense. If you can't use more than one medicine what is the point of having them?

You think that "casual and solo" players should have to buy/craft mass amounts of potions so that they can casually kill monsters? Not sure if serious.

Potions have been the standard form of emergency healing in every FF except XI since the first one. Nearly every MMO in history has given players a readily accessible supply of healing potions. I did not even remotely imply that casuals and soloers should be dependent on potions. I said medicine should be a reasonable alternative, for people who prefer melee classes, to leveling mages.

No, you shouldn't be able to spam all the Potions all the time, But you should not have to wait 5 mins to every time you use Any Kind of medicine.
