Hopefully the DoTs/Debuff issues during 24-man raids and hunts gets addressed too.

Seems like paladin will forever suffer the same fate as white mages, where extreme streamlining led to a rigid, less desirable job.

It worked in ARR as we only had two of each but, now with tanks and healers having more competition, you have to add some complex mechanics if you want them to keep up with newer jobs.

To be fair, in the japanese themed expansion, where the plot revolves around Ninja and Samurai, I'll allow people their ninja fantasies

Edit: this expansion will be 80% japanese self fanservice, won't it?

nah, about 50%. I should have expanded to say "japanese themed parts of the expansion", though Ala Mhigo has nothing to do with what is being talked about, as we are talking about the Doma/Kugane half of the expansion.

That's how its supposed to be but Yoshida never talks about Ala Mhigo.

I can see it now: All the NIN and(or SAM RP a chase on the cities rooftops. This isn't Stormblood. This is Naruto! (or insert another Ninja series)

I think more of Ninja Scroll then anything else really.
