That's good, since no 2 hour ability has ever been an automatic win button. Ain't that great?
If only, however they were adamant on making it different from XI instead of even a spiritual successor.

Topic itself:

2hrs were what actually defined certain jobs especially playing into certain tactics, e.g:

PLD's invincible
COR's wildcard
BRD's Soulvoice
DRK's Blood Weapon
SMN's Astral Flow (especially Odin/Alexander.)

and so on.

You can't make class uniqueness in a FF type of MMO without some kind trump card ability that can't be spammed. Even the "useless" ones had a use and were only seen as useless because people didn't understand how to put it into play, e.g PUP's overdrive.
