How many skills is too many?

[Dzian]

I do think FFXIV needs less buttons due to the fact that the controller is used as one of the main ways to play the game and shuffling between cross hot bars isn't fun or intuitive if you need to hit more then 16 buttons.

At present you don't really need to shuffle that much on any of the jobs. It's all down to how players lay things out.

My ninja for example pretty much only ever has to press r1 and swap sets once every 90 seconds for duality and dream within a dream. And it's also laid out in such a way that I can take 10 or 15 seconds to swap back depending on my mudras.

It's wierd as hell seeing some peoplesort layouts where there literally swapping sets every 3 seconds. Way to many button presses.

Often feel this is where a lot of the bloat comes from just bad layouts that add unnecessary button presses.
