One thing that the recent outburst of criticism about the planned changes to class skills and spells should have made very clear to the Development Team is this very simple fact: The Final Fantasy XIV community cares very much about the scaffolding of forces which are supposed to be the underpinning of the game's actions and events. We like our world deep and full of interrelated forces that sometimes play against, and sometimes reinforce each other both against us and in our favor. We want it well structured, and consistent as well.

Please don't oversimplify our game in an effort to streamline it. If you are, indeed, keeping this depth and complexity, but it's not evident at this stage, please write about it with clarity and let us share your vision.
