Enhanced Materia with spell effects, Phoenix Down and Potions while Fighting

[Nalien]

Can we please just change the Potions, Ethers, and Elixirs to be potency based, rather than static numbers? Static numbers are utterly worthless, more so now we have even more HP/MP...

Bad enough the limits we have on these things... Why does an Antidote share a recast with a Potion? That effectively kills the entire concept, and with Antidotes and the like being something you can buy with Grand Company Seals... I don't see the issue with having them be something more useful... Sure, have like medicines share a cooldown, so I can't pop an Antidote and Eye Drops, or a Potion and Ether, but let me pop an Antidote and Potion... I can effectively see four categories for shared recasts; Esuna type (Antidotes/Eye Drops/etc.) medicines, recovery (HP/MP/TP, why are TP wings locked to PvP, BTW?) type, stats boost type, poison type.

Also... Can we make using them slightly more convenient? Something similar to how Fisher can open up a Bait Box, despite all Bait being in the inventory... A single action that brings up all my medicines (and nothing else) and lets me pick which to use from there, that would be great, provided they actually had a purpose...

As for Phoenix Downs... Either remove them or make them worth a damn... You know what I'm actually more upset about? You can't stack them... Can't use them in combat? Fine. Whatever, the problem with that though, is that I can only carry one on me... There is utterly no benefit to them because of that... I could see myself using them out in the open, perhaps in dungeons or Sky Exploration if things go wrong, but I can't, because I can only carry one on me...

Oh, and give Alchemy some of the actually valuable consumables, please? Cordials, I'm looking at you...
