Its an outdated, fairly boring system. I enjoyed ffxi back in the day, but the combat was never that great on a personal level. Always felt like your were a bit of gimp. Coming together as a team had its moments, but it was pretty rare, that you as a player actually did something great in a fight.

sitting and waiting for 100 tp, boosting up and doing a weaponskills got boring as heck. they added a couple of interesting features here and there but it is an outdated and not enticing system.

Im not saying theres no battle system where auto attack can be cool, but making something like 11 would not be cool.
The difference game wise with making all other skills only stamina based, is basically, to get tp, you have to be involved in battle, so they are skills only available to people actively involved in battle, Most of the point of DD is balancing your stamina/tp/and tp building abilities to get as much bang for your buck as possible. LNC is a DD built around being able to increase stamina gains, and gain tp faster than others.

For example, Fient is best used by lancer, because they get fast tp/free tp, and enhanced stamina. missing on other jobs, then getting feint is cool, but since it costs TP you cant do it that well if you are always missing, in fact you wont get to do your first feint until you at least hit the mob once. if feint didnt cost tp, then it wouldnt really be as well balanced, and would favor the lnc class less than it does now.

note, most of these tp issues, and things like missing/not getting a lot tp due to dmg. only come into play on tougher mobs.


You dont fix what isnt broken, but you dont recreate something if you want to create a new product. Pizza is still there, why go to someone trying to make spagetti if you want pizza. This game is supposed to bring something different to the table.
