A Use for Classes.

[Bishop81]

so I might as well keep the few cross class slots open for things like the Truth of X skills.

...

Why do people always think that if Classes were change as I suggested, things like the number of skill slot will stay exactly the same or that they can't easy swap skills.

My current issue with your plan is that what skill you say (knowing the fight and planning your skills to suit it) will only really apply to the first few people to come across the fight as any given class ... just ending with industrialized laziness. My FC grinds me up so I get the skills, tells me which to set where for what fight, and then I'm basically walking around as a fancy beat stick.

Might as well remove all boss mechanics then ... after all players will just read a guide. >.>

Heck, just remove gear as well, after all your FC will lazily grind it for you anyway.

If you can't dodge, quit. This is not the game for you.

You really want to play this game?

With fans like you who needs competitors.

Go ahead, tell everyone who disagree with you to shut up and quit. It worked so well for the forum "White Knights" of Wildstar.

In the words of Yoshi-P himself,

You think that's the more interesting question? You really think that you looking for something in the wrong genre is less unusual than the rest of us taking the game for what it is? If you want a game where you need to prepare in advance for specific fights I question your looking in FF at all, because that's never really been necessary except 2 cases in III that I recall. (Seriously, FF as a whole is quite easy aside from superbosses and this game is no exception; perhaps Shin Megami Tensei would be better for you? Unlike SE, Atlus doesn't go easy on you.)

You still haven't give a reason why it wouldn't work.

It's just an option for people with bad ping. If you think it's too hard, just equip a Job Stone and you can pewpew like you do now.
