This is one of the reasons I don't like SAM and NIN partially, though NIN is better about it than SAM. I cannot memorize all the Japanese skill names to save my life lmao






I really struggle with it as well. It's an extra barrier to memorising attack effects when you can't connect them to familiar words.
If nothing else, it would be helpful to have somewhere in the game (perhaps a book in the Sharlayan library?) that lists translations of the various foreign-language-based skill names.




Same, I honestly couldn't even tell you a single SAM skill name. Buff skills, AoE moves, OGCD stuff. I honestly don't see the harm in being able to rename something "moon slash" or "lunar slash". We have different regions and translations for a reason.I really struggle with it as well. It's an extra barrier to memorising attack effects when you can't connect them to familiar words.

Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]




I’ve read somewhere that the Japanese player base have the same issue with RPR that English-speaking players have with SAM and NIN. All the RPR actions are the same, just spelled out in Japanese, which is interesting.
Everyone might have a different threshold of adaptability to memorizing the action names, but if you were to main SAM or NIN, I feel like it’d be picked up quickly enough. I recall most of the important cooldowns having just leveled the job and not really playing it, though ironically I don’t remember most of the rotation buttons. I couldn’t for the life of me tell you the level 1 combo starter for SAM right now, but I can tell you what Shoha, Iaijutsu, Ogi Namikiri, or Hissatsu: Shinten do for some reason.
