How many skills is too many?

[Felis]

Make it 2 full cross-bars (32 skill slots). 1 1/2 cross-bars would make the 2nd bar look too empty.

But I still prefer 3 cross-bars, so the R2+L2/L2+R2 and 2*R2/2*L2 shortcuts will not get useless.

More than 3 hotbars is too many for me. I already have 3 of them mapped to my mouse buttons, any more than that is just stupid.
Which is why I cringed when Yoshi-P said we'd be getting even more skills in Stormblood. I was kind of hoping the next 10 levels would add traits to improve existing skills, to avoid adding to the existing skill clutter.

He said that we will get new skills, not more skills.
The total amount of skills will remain what we have now during HW.

He said we'd be getting new skills. Did he specifically say older skills would be removed?

Yes, skills that are ignored most time will get removed or redesigned

They'd have to redesign 10 levels' worth of frequently used skills to keep it balanced with what we already have. If they focused on the ignored ones, we'd have those reintroduced, on top of the new Stormblood skills, plus the ones we DO use.
