Certain things in games have identities. Carbuncle has almost always been a defensive buff spell with no damage attached to it. So this current carbuncle is a more faithful adaptation of the spell. Having carbuncle deal damage felt like it made about as much sense as changing Ifrit to being a party heal.

So no, I'm not going to stop basing the identity of characters and effects on previous games.
