Removing elemental nukes from WHM

[Radacci]

Yea, a handful of old final fantasy games, like one or two.

People are just going to continue pick and choose here with these 'this class should be able to this' stuff and always have their own opinion of which FF did it better.

Like for say if SMN was the same as FFIV's summoner Rydia, you would have the ability to summon, and use both white and black magic to an extent, until you disapear into the underworld for a while and get better at black magic and summoning but become unable to use white magic.

FFIV's white mage Rosa also did not have elemental magic, but the bestest cures and some holy magic for attacking. Some people dont want that 'version' of the white mage tho, they want the version from [instert FF title here] that could use stone and aero...

like others stated, WHM in some of those games were just WHM and nothing else. If WHM was just WHM here, having 16 skills of it's own, that'd be an entirely different thing; then it wouldn't make sense for it to have elemental skills; it would make more sense if they only had Holy/Astral spells. But now it's based on CNJ, so it's inevitable; because CNJ with astral spells don't make sense.
And i'm sure in Rydias case it wasn't that SMN itself had access too WHM/BLM spells, but rather that Rydia herself was SMN/WHM/BLM, and could mix spells, like we could in 1.0
Imagine how stupid it would be if Yuna could ONLY summon, and nothing else? she would be largely useless in most fights; or make all other party members useless.
And imagine if Rydia could summon everything, use high lv WHM spells like Rosa, and BLM spells like...Vivi? Overpowered much?

Exactly. Rydia got black magic in FF4 because at the end of the game, you have no black mage as well.
