Inevitable Job Simplifications?

[CelestiCer]

Slightly shocked to the realization that " Renathras " isn't even trolling through copy-pasting with ChatGPT. They genuinely mean every paragraph they wrote. Which is like the best part of it all.

Depth to me? provides Extra thought, decision making, something. That " oomph " feeling you get for doing it right even though the game clearly gave you the option to do it wrong, you didn't... and it feels rewarding. Specially when wrapped up in a fun rotation. This can all vary as mundane as Positionals, proper Leyline placements, Uptime you sought for, Slide-casting properly, perfectly timed Raidbuffs and feeding them with maxed out resource bars... some Flare/Flavor/Intricacy/Complexity, something that makes Job rotation exciting to pull off. Some Depth.

Take all of that away, and you have the opposite which is Unseasoned/Bland/Boring/Braindead Job design, Shallow. And players who love this? Crucify others for wanting more or even an ounce of what they lost back cause of x reasons. Filthy elitists just want to gatekeep a Job or its Jank or Clunkiness or its Bloat or outright " to difficult " etc w/e excuse they can write.

Nothing wrong with liking simplicity. But the fictional concept that there is another Job for you? is Bull. Don't like current x? reworked SMN? MCH? that's fine... you can go BLM. And that pisses off players cause some players don't like x aesthetics, or x rotation, or x skills, or even its playstyle. Sometimes a Job clicks for players or its Aesthetics or its Job fantasy, specially before it got changed. Telling them to go play another Job is ...Shallow.

Players probably rather have optional difficulty or depth within their own Job and playing their Job at whatever difficulty they are comfortable with rather then going to an entire different Job that they might never have nor will find appealing. Might sound idealistic, and probably far-fetched seeing as Square just is going to make everything easier after its been made easier to make it more and more easier. Then we want Depth? Complexity? and we get told that other fun historical line back at us. " Go play Ultimate ".
