I was almost in the mood to play FF14 again

[Deo14]

Genuine question, from someone who decided to level SAM just recently in a post-Kaiten world, why exactly people miss it so much? I ask that because right now, the job's rotation feels really good and engaging. Idk, I'd probably join the chorus if I tried it before.

Both reasons above are one of them main ones. 3rd would be probably that all 3 of devs' excuses for removal make no sense, which just leaves us with a bitter taste, since it's removal didn't fix anything at all.

Animation and buildup was satisfying, but if we want to focus more on the gameplay, Shinten spam is terrible game design. Because they removed 2nd most prominent spender of Kenki, Shinten accounts to roughly 20% of all actions you do. This means that on average, every 5th skill you do is Shinten, which is just insane. Especially since Shinten is just very bland and uninteresting oGCD, yet for some reason, you use it more frequently than even Hakaze, which should be the most basic and frequent ability, since it's first part of all 3 combos.
