but you are unwilling or rather unable to produce "math" that adds up to the contrary so you want conveniently to pick and choose what abilities to get included in the math and what abilities to not get included?
that is very convenient indeed

If you reread what I have mentioned previously you would notice me saying how deep you make your rabbit hole is a measurement of how complex you can make your game. Trying to argue based on your personal opinion which was actually used or what was useful to you is merely based on what you used and what the development team of FFXI used. The amount that they did not use does not change how deep their rabbit hole is mathematically, and that is why having it deep is good. Because then the developers can at any day get up and use whatever they didn't use before.

On the other hand if it was shallow then that it simply your limit of complexity and they have to resort to shuffling simpleton battle mechanics.


have a good day/nigh mam/sir.
