[AgalychnisMan]

Good Morning,

As an avid player of the Final Fantasy Monk job. I am a little puzzled as to why Monks do not have more counter attack options or a passive counter trait. While "Haymaker" can be perceived as a counter after dodging an attack, it's the only form of a counter that we have at this point in time and isn't viable in many endgame battles. Countering has always been one of my most favored aspects of the Monk job type and it offers a valuable defensive role to Monks when in enmity controlled situations.

That being said,
Q: Can we look forward to seeing Monks receive more options (particularly traits) to cancel incoming auto-attacks and return damage to enemies using counter as an additional form of defense to our otherwise defenseless monks?

Sincerely,
Crushing Callidryas of Cactuar
