    I think the point is, this would be fine if it was fully optional side content that people only did because they enjoyed the unusual battle composition approach. But instead it's been placed as a roadblock to other content, specifically the relic weapon, that everyone is expected to run repeatedly whether they enjoy the alternate approach or not.

    Personally I feel like the lost-action system is obtuse and it's not clearly set out what you should be doing with it. If there was a simpler version where you pick your preferred role and automatically get assigned those stat adjustments and extra skills, it might feel a bit less confusing and easier to engage with.

    Certainly for me, if it was as simple as "pick your role" then there'd be fun and novelty in going in as a particular job but then playing it as something else. DPS swordsman? Healing dancer? Tank the whole thing as as mage? If you could freely muck around it could be great, but needing to acquire and set up the right mix of lost actions makes it cumbersome.
