Dissapointed!

It's usually players who are not intellectually capable of adapting that dislike changes such as these. After 1.18, it was said in the next letter from the producer that they felt that they may have went a little overboard on some changes (guessing they meant MP, but it was said in general) and they'll be adjusting them along the way. However, that is sort of pointless to me to write any change off after a first impression specifically if the change is to add a bit of challenge. It was easy to just sit there and spam AOE heals without gaining that much hate doing so.

Also, way to go making a thread of last month's news. A lot of people hated the change til they finally wrapped their head around it and started to understand the vision and reasoning of this change, also, the strategy behind it.

Also, I'd have to say even if this change is extreme, I believe it would be more helpful for the player base to get used to this before they edit it down and balance it. It's a good learning experience during this system looking at where they see their battles going once everything is in it's right place and they are comfortable with the completely finished system. Finally, stop spamming Cure IIIs. If you run out of MP that quickly during leves it's cause you're still locked in pre 1.18 battle system. Save III for emergencies, Stygian Spikes works wonders, Spiritbind is a muffin basket from heaven, and Soughspeak II will keep your enmity down through group battles.

/em slowly descending ray-bans; get used to it.
