Would you like an in-game parser?

For me it is simply easier to put the puzzle together one piece at a time instead of having tons of puzzle pieces dumped on my head all at once. As I level I take each new ability or spell and analyze it and find out how it fits into my rotation. It's sort of a more relaxed approach in my opinion and I prefer it.

A wonderful analogy

Yeah, I definitely agree with you both on this! I just don't think a parser is as much needed for this part of the learning process, especially considering how different jobs have such different strengths on different levels (because of the abilities available to them).

Oh for sure! I don't think that a parser is necessary for leveling content in the way it's necessary for EX+ content, more just a matter of convenience. Like, if we were adding an ingame parser to the game I don't see a reason to only add it to EX+ - it may as well be in all content if this hypothetical parser were to exist.

You remember when I started playing BLM again and I was in Alliance roulette trying to figure out if I was doing it correctly or not... and was effectively blind to that. I fail to see how that's supposed to be a good thing.

Oh I do remember. And I bet running a parser during that run might have helped you smooth things out a little quicker for sure.
