2hr Abilites (Yes Please!)? or (No Thanks!)?

[Cairdeas]

I call them "Ohshit" skills. And yes I'd like some.

Limit Breaks and Overdrives are what Weapon Skills are in XI and XIV

What I'm trying to say is, give us 2 hours like the ones I mentioned earlier that are worth waiting 2 hours for. I don't want to have an "Oh crap" button available every 5 fights.

I dunno, i dont like to have skills that i never use. Its like going through a FF game and i keep going "Oh i'll save those elixers till i need them" and then i finish the game with 14 and never used one.

I agree with you and that article completely. Thats one reason the 2hr abilities became used just for fun since people found ways not to use them at all.

Bard two-hour was way too overpowered. I don't want to see stuff like that in this game.

(No Thanks!)
This game isn't XI, nor will it be or should it ever be XI. Something more original please. I don't want more of the same

Honestly, I love having stuff like that in games. Once you finally use it you just sigh and say "awesome."

Not every little thing has to be original, having an "oh crap" card isn't trying to be the same as everyone else. Don't be a hipster =P

[Ceons]

No thanks.

Having a 'ocrap' ability or whatever is one thing, but 'lets take more stuff from ffxi cause all we really want is ffxi with some new abilities some new zones old zones redone and better graphics.'

Don't need to do an ability on a 2 hour cool down. That is ridiculous.

[gifthorse]

How about instead of having an automatic win button every 2 hours, we have abilities that require skill or collaboration or something, and put them on a shorter cooldown too.

Also: don't 2 hour cooldowns just make fights even less strategic? After all, if people have the option of 2 hours, then game designers have to implement content which factor in the use of 2 hours abilities. This then means that the fights cannot be done efficiently without 2 hours, rendering any other strategies useless.
