Would you like an in-game parser?

Considering Endwalker's obsession with body checks, and absolute failstates where if one thing is wrong then it is a wipe, even down into more casual content like Orthos/Extremes its honestly a bit pathetic they're afraid of including tools in the game that help you gauge and improve performance.

Either design the game with that in mind, or make the game about improving your own performance. Right now they're trying to have their cake and eat it too.

What I've always found hilariously ironic is they designed a job that is impossible to properly optimize without the very program they don't want people using in Astro. Can you blindly put cards on a Samurai and Black Mage? Sure, but those aren't always the optimal choice. In fact, a good many Astros will never realize Dark Knight is the second best target in your opener while Ninja is the best. Why? Samurai takes much longer to "rev up" and Dark Knight has an absurdly burst-y opener.

Now it certainly won't make or break any runs if you don't card the correct people every time. That doesn't make it any less silly to design a job around buffing other jobs without any way for the players to know who's doing the highest damage and when.
