I think a goal for the next expansion would be perhaps make MP feel more exciting to have. For healers, I think attack spells and your super basic heals should be free (like they are in PvP), but some of your oGCDs and really powerful GCDs should have MP costs. MP would kind of act as a third balancing lever in addition to the efficacy and cooldown, so you could for example have oGCDs with low CDs but they are expensive to use, kind of like TBN is on DRK.

For jobs that never use MP, the bar shouldn't be on our HUD at all. As a WAR I'd love if it just put my meat gauge there.
SE will never do that. Thats to far on the hardcore side. FFXIV leans very heavily casual.
