By the way, they said "synergy actions"(raidbuffs) will disappear, but that doesn't necessarily means that every damage buff will disappear, for example they didn't talk about radiant finale of the bard, but we saw it in the footage so it should still be in the game, its duration was 10 seconds, and it requires you to use your 3 songs before using it. Will it be a 10 second damage buff for the whole team ? If so then it means you will want to ask your team to try and benefit from it the most like we do in the current meta i guess.
I'm really worried about this personally, especially if the songs stay with no CD or the potencies are all wacky like release PCT where one song just does significantly more damage than the rest, then your "freedom" gets completely removed, you'd ALWAYS be using your strongest song under Radiant Finale, this becomes an especially big issue with the movespeed increase. I can imagine anyone who played during 6.0 remembers randomly dying because a SCH gave expedience and you weren't expecting it. Or needing to specifically SAVE the strongest song for a mechanic that happens 30 seconds into the minute and being forced to do a different less damaging combo (during the hypothetical Finale buff) just to make a mechanic easier on the party.
