[dev1206] Class Reforms: why the 15/11 limit?

[Monsalvato]

ah yes the tier argument, I wonder how many times you unequipped banish II and used I so you would take less hate

Very rarely of course, I guess.
But that's because the game was "forcing" you to make a choice and was limiting the amount of actions you could keep equipped at the same time to 30.
So in that scenario you weren't equipping lower tier spells not because you couldn't find an use for that, but rather because you had limited space and had to make choices.

In a scenario where you DO NOT have to choose your main class' abilities because you get them all regardless, this wouldn't be an issue, would it?


But even then, as I tried to explain several times with my previous post, I don't mind the "scaling system", there are pros and cons but I can be fine with that. I'm more worried about losing the "horizontal variety" the different elements provided.
That was guaranteeing a certain kind of depth that was very FF-esque and it would be a shame to see it go, even if replaced with other kind of depth-involving game aspects.
After all it's a FF mmo we're talking about here, not a generic good MMO. Sometimes some people lose track of this I'm afraid.
Yoshi-P worked very hard to bring back the FF feeling in this game which I am not scared to say was definitely lacking in several fields when the game was released in september 2010.

It would really be a shame to see a step backwards after so many successful forward ones.

Yoshi-p seems to be drawing inspiration from FFIII, crystal tower, lack of a Water spell etc.

Why is this not considered FF to you ?

There was only 22 white magic spells in FFIII by the way, some of which were enfeebling which will no doubt find a new home on a new class.

P.s There are no tiers of spells in FFIII either.
