SE enough of the treadmill, please make the game more interesting!

They axe murdered any concept of situational gear or abilities. Even killed the elemental wheel, a staple of RPGs and JRPGs alike. Kill Ifrit with Fire! Kill Ramuh with Raiton!

After talking with a FC mate.... "killed" in the sense that it's currently not in used, but after looking through combat logs and various stats, it seems it's all there just not actually doing anything. Spells still say the element type and if it doesn't have an affinity, just there is no... reaction to that info.

Maybe one day it will come back but I won't hold my breath.

Yeh prolly a remnant froom earlier programming. I don't think there'll ever be real changes unless there's a repeat of 1.0's situation where they lose enough customers/share they're forced to react. They seem fine with a revolving door MMO as long as it's profitable. Probably a frustrating project to work on, from a design team perspective.

I've been in those situations, a whole system designed and then the lead says to shut it off and leave it in. Wonder if the programmers got annoyed that they spent time building this system and then it just get's deactivated.
