Watching the End of an Era video, I always get a kick out of seeing the Warrior roll across the charging Paladin's back and seamlessly flow into a Steel Cyclone. It's a great image, and it speaks to the teamwork theme that the narrative pushes so vigorously.

It's not a Final Fantasy staple that immediately springs to mind, but that maneuver reminds me of a Dual Tech from Chrono Trigger. Fair legal ground! How could it be implemented mechanically? You could introduce another common resource bar like Limit Break, but that's clunky... but with 'hybrid' jobs teased, I start to wonder about supportive roles players can take in an MMO.

What if a hybrid job could, either as an ability with a long cooldown or as their own Limit Break, target a player and unleash a specialized Dual Tech? Target a tank, he uses you as a pivot and sweeps his weapon across a horde. Target a dps, you vault her into the sky where she rains arrows down.

Thoughts?
