    Upper tiers of an action (such as Fire II and Fire III) will be abolished in favor of a system wherein potency and MP cost are scaled based on the player’s level.
    Are FU**EN kidding me?
    So a low level BLM will be casting THE EXACT SAME spell effect as a level 50 only with less damage? how does that make sense? how is that uinique?
    please tell me im miss understanding this....

    Yeah but it's not forever. I think they're redoing all the graphical stuff even as we type for release 1.21/22ish

    They did say that they'll make graphical changes in 1.21 and beyond.

    Who knows, maybe the fire animation will change as you get higher.

    The Final Fantasy series is one of the only series in history to focus on tiered magic spells that become more amazing upon its higher tiers.
    it adds to the visual effect of being more powerful.

    i dont get why they need to condense them at all though. so we have less of a long list to choose from?
    Nuking just got even uglier.....

    Actually...don't necessarily think this is the case..if they scale it it might be at low level your spell is the size of a pea...then at each level the spell grows...until you have a watermelon. Just a thought...we don't know...This is why I hate it when people demand stuff...they give us just enough to spark our curiosity and everyone assumes...

    Skills, spells, traits...getting changed and adjusted and further graphical changes all the way up to 2.0...so at this point it's anyone's guess.

    Its their own responsibility to make sure their message comes off as clear. these people speak both japanese and english fluently. my entire family is completely bi lingual and they have no problem whatsoever being less vague than that... if vagueness is the case and their translation is not 100% informative.

    magic classes arent just for damage numbers, a large part of being a magic class is the cool spell effects. im way bummed as ive been waiting for 1.20 to fiiiinally immerse myself into BLM.

    i dont like melee classes yet i find CNJ to be less visually appealing atm... now it got even uglier.

    BTW, this is literally my first real gripe about anything theyve done.

    BLM isn't coming untill 1.21 with the jobs system.

    But it is annoying how in every FF game its been tiered, I just hope the effect / range increases as you lvl up so it looks more powerful the higher you get.

    this is literally my exact point and my only gripe since the reforms.
