Why doesnt each class get their own limit break effect?

[Tupsi]

then why support to make the matters worst ?

You don't have to - Yoshi is going to do it for you. Individual limit breaks would only hurt 4 man parties if you're trying to "only go with x" which as proven people have been doing all SMN runs of WP and AK no problem, which means "need SMN /tell plz!", it won't hurt 8 man setups (it definitely wouldn't hurt 24 man setups if Yoshi wasn't DF happy.)

Most people go in with a predefined setupf or 8 man encounters and those that doesn't relies on the DF which makes "need <job>!" mentality irrelevant since you can't choose who you get matched up with as proven by my Ifrit PLD, War, SCH, WHM, BRD, BRD, BRD, BRD setup. As long as there's some efficient way to do something, "need x" mentality will always exist. Always.

it exist but with individual limit break thing will become worst. As you mention ifrit so we ll take his fight as an exampler. Atm well know issue is ppl left the DF pt because of no BLM/SMN or 2 WAR, now if SMN doesnt has meteor and the pt have no BLM for meteor, ppl will left the DF and that will increase the DF quit rate (though ifrit hellfire can advoide by simply stoneskin + tank LB but that is to much to ask for in DF).

I hope I understand thing correct in this conversation

No really, people need to start use the Search-function. There are dozens of Threads about this Topic. Beside that, Dev's have responded to it as well and why it is the way it is.

Are you referring to individual limit breaks (as in, you can use LB without "stealing" it and still have a party LB) or individual limit breaks effect (as in, monks have a different animation -only that- than dragoons, and so on)?

In case you were referring to the animations, could you tell me where/when did the devs say that? I'm not sure if people in this topic are just confused about what the OP was asking for, or I totally missed on something Yoshida said about never wanting to change/fix LB animations.

Something needs to be done in my opinion. Because if the duty finder sticks you with two bards then you're going to be screwed on some fights. The normal primals come to mind. The single target limit break can be a run saver when it comes to taking down the nail and heart.

If you have two archers/bards in a normal mode primal fight, you shouldn't need limit break to bring down nail/heart, otherwise you are doing it wrong.

Hell, I've even been in Titan HM runs where we downed heart without LB. It's just a matter of everyone getting their crap together.

It's all one big excuse to keep Summoners from actually summoning like they're supposed to. If everyone had their own it would be the only thing that made sense for that job.

I agree that there should be some variance on the LBs but it may also specialize certain classes for specific content and make them more sought after. The way to mitigate that is to make LB 1 and LB 2 somewhat homologous (like it is now) and then for LB 3 (in an 8 man) it branches out to class specific abilities so there are more tricks on the arsenal.

It's not an easy thing to design because afterall, if for example you come up with different DPS LBs only best one will always been called out.

Laziness...

SE guy 1: Oh look, they are asking us to change the animation for each job's limit break.
SE guy 2: Yeah, I saw that, but I didn't pay attention.
SE guy 1: So, what do you think?
SE guy 2: Nah, it takes too much of my time, I rather sip on my sake and get drunk than do that. Let's make an excuse why we don't feel like doing that.

SE announcement:

"At this time we don't have any plans to change the animation for each job's limit break. We feel that it is working as intended."

This is what SE will say about this.

/end thread.

Needs Moar Singing.. Its a Bard

Bard needs to be separate from archer, its a bard

Should have its on class and job set, Bard - performer/singer or vice versa

While archer should be Archer - Ranger or vice versa

To me, the lvl 3 limit breaks only look right on whitemage(even though they very rarely use it), Monks, and black mages. Yeah I know some summoners like Rydia in other Series can use it but it's mostly black mages and other types of mages that used it. It'd be nice if in the future other classes get their own kind of limit break spell, like summoners maybe cast earthen fury if they have titan egi, aerial blast if they have garuda, etc. while making said egis grow in size or something :P

But yeah I guess it'd be too much work and would take away time/resources on the more important things.

[Gooner_iBluAirJGR]

You mean like how people want a Melee LB for single boss mobs and BLM/SMN for Ifrit Nails? I'd say that's bringing/wanting certain classes for certain situations.

Very true. At the very least Each class should have a visually different limit break i.e. monks limit break looks different from dragoons but has the same effect. Its not practical but it looks nice. . . and I want to look nice.
