Showing TP for Party?

[Mugiawara]

Quick Q: Any word on this?
Make the TP bar a different colour if you need to...
but this is very annoying for us Bards and Ninja's...I mean I tell them to ask
if they need it or try and see if I can tell if they need it but still...
Surprise this is still a thing...another QoL fix please. :c

Thank you very much for the response Felis!
And Ikr Ryu? Let's hope in 3.0 or so.

From what I heard, it's something that they've encountered problems with for PS3, so they're not going to do it unless it can work for all users. It's silly I know, you'd think they'd just replace the MP bars with the TP bars for most classes/jobs when they're in the party, especially considering only the casters, PLD, and BRD really use MP.

Or how about showing the resource of their class instead. Healer/Caster show MP, Tank/Physical DPS show TP?

Because some Jobs/classes use both. That'd be the reason I'd guess, even though there's only one resource, aside from HP, that you need to see for any given Job. For example: Warriors and Paladins use MP occasionally, the only resource you need to see is the one they're going to need regenerated often (TP and HP). Even though you can use Sprint (TP cost) on a caster, you only ever need to know their MP and HP.

I totally think what you're suggesting is what they should do, by the way. I just could understand why they wouldn't want to (they want all meters accessible just in case anyone needs the info).

Bards and Paladins use both. While it's not strictly necessary to see a paladin's MP (or TP for that matter...they don't run out as fast as other classes) seeing a bard's TP and MP can be rather important:
1) Seeing the MP in a case with multiple bards or a ninja can cue the other player as to when to use their song. If the bard is out of MP, they ain't singing.
2) The reason for being able to see their TP should be obvious.

As there may be more actions that directly affect the TP of other players introduced in the future, the dev. team would like to work on adding in a display for party member TP. However, there is a limit to the number of items that can be displayed on the screen at the same time, so we have considered swapping the MP bar to instead show the TP bar.

In doing so, we would then be required to introduce a feature that will allow players to switch the display between TP and MP smoothly, even during battle. We would appreciate your patience while the development team continues to research if and how to efficiently display TP bars for all party members. We’ll be sure to share any updates we have on this in the future.

Tbh you don't really need to look at another players Mp unless your a Bard.

As 2nd healer especially if you on dps mode also very important to be able to drop stance and release the other healer (unless its a pug that burns MP either way).

But yes especially nins that use Goad need this option as often they use it on the "wrong" person and 30s after someone asks for it

Devs says the TP bar will confuse the new players lol.

There's obviously an empty slot next to MP bar where the TP bar is suppose to be, make HP bar green (like your regular display), MP bar pink (like your regular display), and TP bar yellow (like your regular display). But you know, them noobs, can't interpret colors and data display.

Nothing about new players.

It is about PS3 limitation and/or screen size limitation
