Things Getting Too Obnoxious

[Havenae]

The only real thing I see that urks me.. is that they seem to have made a reliance on using the same concepts over and over. If you're not managing stacks, you're managing a short timer buff all day long and they made the entirety of gameplay revolve around it. While I don't dislike this for an occasional class here or there it seems really fucking generic and tedious when they apply it to ALL of them. If you're a caster your thing is stacks. If you're a melee dps it's a buff refresh, or stacks. If you're ranged dps it's wtever they do I'm not even getting into it. Tanks get the same garbage but a different idea. It's almost like they didn't try, they found one or two ideas and just blanketed everything with it.

That's my only complaint. The rest of the OP's post is subject to speculation and/or opinion.

Chalk this up to their self-imposed UI limitations. I've yet to see them introduce a new resource system, for example, because it seems that to them every job has to have only TP and MP.
