Maybe I'm not reading things right but all I'm seeing is "potency reduced" everywhere (and the Blade attacks now consume 1000 MP each?).

Urgh.... I don't know, I think they've messed too much with it without actually getting to the core of the problem (trying to make it stronger without overshadowing other Jobs.).

But then, that's been GLA/PLD's lot since late 1.0 I guess... *sighs sadly*
