Overusage of Limit Break?

[SirGazuntai]

Based on this logic should we also randomly pick some skills our jobs have to simply not use to make things more challenging? Next WP i run as tank ill avoid using Flash, or on healer ill only use stone skin and Medica2 nothing else. My point being we use the abilities given to us to do a job, Limit Break is one of those abilities. That being said its not like Limit Break is some game breaking ability that one shots boss mobs simply wraps up the fight with a nice big BANG YOUR DEAD!

p.s. the damage Limit Breaks also look hella cool to so that's a reason on its own =)

I never used any logic, I just implied that it's boring to use LB. It's essentially used to make things unnecessarily quicker the majority of the time. I also never said you shouldn't use it, and I'm still not suggesting you don't use it. Use it all you want, I'm just saying I don't want to and asking if there are other people out there like me who'd like to do it without LB, same as there are groups out there who do runs in challenging ways rather than the easiest way.

I'm also not suggesting they change LB or do anything to affect the people who WANT to use it, either. Not everyone wants everything to be as easy as possible. Some of us find enjoyment from challenges and handicaps make for great challenges (such as no limit break, or those Japanese player who ran Titan with exceptionally bad group-comps).

To everyone else, I agree that it CAN be useful. For instance, I was constantly given the job of LBing in Ifrit (and got yelled at a few times, too...) and I've heard plenty of people praising it in Coil, but I'd love to fight Titan HM without relying on LB to save about a minute of the fight because you're afraid your team won't survive that long. Using it on packs in WP is something I often do when speed running. Trash monsters are boring as all hell. They should make them interesting...

Don't set yourself up like this on the internet man :P

Logic in this context is a particular method of reasoning. You did use logic, which was this: You enjoy imposing restrictions on yourself in games to make things more challenging, which you find more fun. Thus by not using limit breaks the game is more challenging and more fun.

I don't think Emilyee is disagreeing with you so much as asking, why limit breaks? There are dozens of abilities for each class, why make this thread particularly about limit breaks? And if not to encourage discussion or change to the system then what is your end goal?

Might I suggest making a thread on your server forum and asking if others share your view and if so, perhaps they'd like to party up with you sometime?
