Are role actions a nerf?

[Ama_Hamada]

How is this relevant? If players are not using skills given to them, then what's the argument against selecting which skills you bring?

people will not be able to handle the system, esuna should not be optional, same with protect and provoke.

If they wanted to make this system work, it needs to be optional abilities, not required ones.

I dont see the issue at all, its a pick what you need system over the pick whats absolute best without other options system we have now.

It is easily an improvement since we actually have choice like ACTUALLY do and make loadouts for each encounter which we could have done with cross class skills if most of the cross class abilities were not trash.

This change makes the game more modern and require some thought and planning now instead of pick 5 and never touch it again which is a good thing and I would not consider it a nerf.

That is not even the issue with now, the issue with now is the system is useless because a lot of jobs do not even have choices. You do not even fill 5 slots with SMN and BLM for example. It is also too much to ask people to level other jobs to have a "required" ability.
