Class-Specific Limit Breaks

[FOOLK1LLAH]

They give you people what you ask for, and you STILL find a way to bitch about it.

This is why we can't have nice things!

I think op wants player specific limit breaks where each the limit break gauge is attched to the player rather than the party which I agree with.

But wouldn't they have to rework the whole system of how LBs are attained in a fight? Otherwise the boss would just be a gooey puddle from all of the DPS LBs.

Or "balance" it by severely weakening the power of limit breaks to justify how often and how many are used at once.

I think they should have made them like the job specific pvp super ability. They are useful and unique to each job.

Being able to see the full LB3 animation at the inn would be a really nice feature. Because even when it's an LB you see used more often, you don't always have time to pause what you're doing to actually look at it ^^; Especially if it's not you doing the LB.

Maybe if the LB animation get changed into a LB cutscene

I few weeks back a I was doing a trial roulette on my whm and it started to go south. Was the first and only time I've ever used my LB3 as a Healer (I didn't even have it on my bar I use it so little) and man was it awesome. I have yet to see a tank LB3.

I'd love a way to at the very least see the LBs because I generally only ever see a drk or the occasional blm and smn out in the wilds.

You can easily see them all. Youtube or play Ifrit Hard Mode and steal the LB as soon as it's available.

Ifrit hard is so easy now no one will even notice, and if they do who cares it's ifrit hard mode.

On paper it's a really cool idea but when you think about it, they have 4 limit breaks now and you mostly see one, and sometimes another. As a bard, I've never used it. And I don't remember a tank LB.

So.. if they can't make 4 limit breaks relevant, they might struggle to provide one to every class.

The only way I could see it work would be to throw out the party limit break and let every character have their own individual limit breaks and bars. Maybe a buff or a big hit or something.

Wow this is terrible advice and statement in general.

"Don't worry, you can see your skill animation on a separate video outside the game because our game is designed for you to never see IN game!"
and
"Don't worry, the skill is NEVER useful so the only way you'll be able to see it is in a context where absolutely nothing matters!"

[Tsuole]

It's perfect how it is. The LBs should /never/ have varying effects, because people will just pick out the one that does the most damage or has the 'best' effect and boom, that class is now mandatory in every static and no one else is allowed to limit break.

"I hate variety, everything should be the same! Because if things we'd have choices, we'd pick the best ones!"

Also point quote:
"that class is now mandatory in every static and no one else is allowed to limit break"

You mean like how right now only DPS are allowed to limit break? You mean mandatory classes like how SE is actually FORCING players to use a formulaic party setup in essentially all content?

[Tsuole]

And therein lies your problem. And thanks for the Hyperbole, makes it easier.

Just because different classes have almost the same efficiency doesn't mean the road to the result is the same. E.g you cant tell me with a straight face that SMN and BLK, the Caster dps, are anything alike.

I don't think you understand what ckc22 means by his statement. If what you are saying is that variety and variation is BAD and UNNECESSARY then he is sarcastically responding that 'then the game doesn't need, for example in the healer category, Astrologians, White Mages and Scholars. We should just have a single unvarying class called HEALER' only then can we achieve the homogenized, bland and 'balanced' future you are advocating for.
