The Keeper's Hymn, Why Limit Us?

[ZeroRains]

This is just my personal opinion, and I can't really understand the thought process behind making your customizable attributes so expensive to change. To me, it seems to limit customization to only your primary stat, while punishing you if you want to change stats up with a 10k tome limit.

I feel it stalls progression and free customization that this game is severely lacking.
Why impose such a high tome cap just to adjust stats? For instance, my warrior plays both offtank and damage dealer in coil. It would be great to pump those 30 vit points into 30 str to be more efficient on certain turns. But with such a high tome cap, your forced into a narrow path of "bis stats" that really stalls any kind of creativity.

I propose SE removes the heavy tome cap for hymns, and allows us to buy a stat change. Currently I can't see why this would be game breaking, and should be implemented over the current close minded attribute allocation we have now. What are you're thoughts? Should we keep it as is, or allow more freedom of customization?

My SCH sucks because i focused on SMN.

Yay for customization!

10k really isn't all that much. What I don't understand is why I can only have 5 at a time :<

What the... punishing you for changing stats by spending 10k tomes?

A respec costs you 10k GC seals... while not cheap it's not exactly a "heavy" price... and what exactly are you spending those seals on otherwise once you've finished ranking up?

The thing is that it is expensive. It takes quite a while to farm 10k tomes, and for small adjustments between primals/coil/whatever be it. For the amount of things a stat changed could be used for, 10k tomes are just way to expensive to really allow any sort of freedom.

Did they change this? I have 16 stacked in my retainer from like month 1. Never used any.

What? They only stack to 5? Well, technically 15 since I can stack them on my Retainers as well, but still, why limit stack sizes? It's not like Seals have any real use once you've levelled most of your classes and have gear. And to get the 500K trophy you have to actually keep spending them to earn more than 50K. I just wish we could stack the potions (Onyx Tears?) which could see use if they weren't unique...

YES!

Yoshi specifically said that he wants the players to have to make a choice between one and the other. Naturally going back on that choice has a slightly pricey cost so that you can switch for every single event.

Are you trying to start a troll discussion or something? At first I thought you just had a slip of the tongue but you ACTUALLY BELIEVE that a respec costs you tomes?

It's grand company seals... those things you can get for trading in trash dungeon drops or running some FATEs in your off time. Hell I spent over 14k buying my FC an aetheryte after the last patch and made that back with next to no effort.
