    Can we get the HW/SB dev team back with the ShB writers? Seems to me that's the dream team.

    EDIT: While I'm on the subject, I want JOB quests back, I miss job lore!

    I don't really want HW balance.

    Jobs being fun and unique doesn't mean "revert to HW" Theirs some things about HW that sound cool. But I think we should be looking for something that's fun but doesn't depend on old balance ideals because those were pretty flawed (not as bad as current balance).

    I have my issues with what I hear of HW balance, which is part of why I asked for those devs rather than that balance, the HW/SB dev team at least from what I hear here appeared to care about the game and how people felt about it, plus the evidence of HW and SB content tells me they made better stuff in general than the current team does.

    I'd also take HW balance over the lack of balance we have now. (just to add because my post might come across the wrong way)

    But yeah I just want them to try different things at this point because seriously the balance has become so safe it's genuinely hurting the game and becoming a balance issue in itself. The issue I see is that they take zero risks with job design

    Current balance isn't better anyway.
    1) PCT is blowing everything else out of the water much like NIN did back then.
    2) Everything that's not melee DPS or BLM/PCT is trash tier and forgotten by the devs.

    So I'm not sure the arguments about balance having actually been streamlined are even sound in the first place...
