some general thoughts on the OP.

I dont agree that name changes would make tanking more fun, but it would give the appearance of the class being "cooler". I would definitly rather have classic FF attack names on my hotbar, but in all honesty, "rage of halone" is a pretty intense name. I like it. Would I prefer Blitzblade? (no) Renzokuken (yes) Omnislash (no). Some better naming or classic naming would be cooler (there is nothing savage about savage blade), but its not a deal breaker imo.


The heart of the matter is that the classes dont feel FF at all. That I will agree with. I made my char with purple hair, green eyes, rolled a GLD and wanted to be Cecil... I have since changed because I dont feel like Cecil. There are no real paladin abilities for use to use... Why cant I heal party members? Why cant I have more protection skills for others aside from stoneskin? Where are the Chivalry abilities from FFTA? Where is reprisal? Mighty Guard? Agrias abilities from FFT?

Also, I feel like PLD doesnt need a massive damage buff, but they do need some OGCD skills with long(er) cool downs that do massive damage. CoS should be longer CD with bigger damage and bigger dots. Blade beam AoE with a 3 minute coold down. This is where the iconic ff attacks can be added for PLD.

Also, the tank LB needs to be changed (should be class to class LBs, but w/e). Make everyone invincible for 10 seconds.. give everyone reflect damage for 20 seconds... something more than rampart for everyone.
