Removal of physical level and automatic allotment are good ideas!

This will bring more challenge and more uniqueness race wise to the game. And it will also make it less complicated when trying to switch classes from lets say a Marauder to a Conjurer. This eliminates the pain of trying choose whats best for your class and puts more focus on gear.

I posted my idea http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ats-and-Traits which is to replace the current point allotment with the same system Blue Mage used in XI where equipping skills/spells gives you bonus stats.

Seems like an interesting idea, you could expand it to gain job traits and things by combining skills. Would take a lot of work if they wanted to do it across all skills to make them compatible though.

EDIT: That said, no to removing some kind of point allotment, we want customisation. SE also explicitely said they don't want race to be a big factor in choices. Please stop trying to just make it back into FFXI.

No it isnt.

[Vackashken]

Yes it is.

I think the removal pf phsyical is a bad idea
however point alotment for attributes being automated to a set number based on your physical vs your current class isnt a bad idea

It can be great don't have physical lvl because when your high lvl and start new job, it's too easy to rank it. When we start a job, more faire to start rank 1 for everyone, hardcore gamer or not.

Class-based point allotment allows for greater flexibility than physical level based allotment.

Skill Based Point Allotment ads for even greater though :P

You loadout all Defensive Skills You get more Defensive Stats,

You load out Healing Spells only, you get stats to help with healing,

You load out a hybrid mesh of everything, you become an even keeled jack of all trades.


The skills give you the stats they need to operate properly anything else is bonus.

I like the idea, but stats will need to have a higher significance before this is possible
