So how do ya'll feel about the new changes to Phoenix Down?

SE now has no excuse not to nerf tank sustain and improve healer game play.

If they do neither of these things after this change, then this yet another negative to the healer experience.

Pretty much this; a big excuse people have for why healers can't have more responsibility in their damage kit or incoming damage to heal is because a healer failing means the group will die with them (let's just ignore tanks being near immortal in boss fights). Having phoenix downs on the tanks or DPS takes that excuse away.

If they still don't improve healer damage kits and increase incoming damage, the phoenix down change mostly makes healers even more redundant than they normally are. Just give RDM Vermedica and Veresuna and be done with them.

I might be cynical but I think making healers more redundant was the intention.

[ASkellington]

We can't be redundant when they remembered our existence enough to increase our aoe healing range! /s

Good, now I can semi-afk while the rest of the party carries me. *shrugs*

Devs : We have finally found a solution to the healers problems. We are removing them.

[Altina_Orion]

Clearly most of you have never even run an EX. Go try it without a healer and see how it turns out for you.

[MaikoRaines]

Is this still even a relevant hashtag? I forgot this was a even a thing.

Woah. You'll fail in like, 10%ish of content if you don't bring a healer or tank? That's wild. It's a good thing there's like, that other 90% where they're entirely irrelevant.

[Riusvell]

Can't believe you are complaining about a classic Final Fantasy change that was actually needed years and years ago, regarding the Phoenix downs. It isn't to make you guys redundant or anything, there's content where it's needed like deep dungeons.
Everyone can die during one of those, not having to find a cairn to pick up a healer and having a significant stack of an item that should've been stackable from the get-go is a massive improvement over what it was. Or picking up someone during Eureka/Bozja/Occult or open world. You don't need to switch classes any more to do that.

Why is this considered such a horrible thing? Make sense, please.
