If it really does turn into just MP, then I'm right with you guys -- it makes no sense for purely physical attacks to consume MP. But I wonder, will it then just be another dead resource on physical classes so that the next step is to give us only HP, or will there be new MP interactions a la the stronger but more limited (due to significant drain cost) Monk elemental fists in 1.x?
Most people assume that consolidating the two resources together would make them just MP, because MP is a far bigger staple to Final Fantasy than anything else. I highly doubt they'll change it to something like SP. Yoshida is somewhat adamant on keeping classic/staple FF skills in the game. It's why we still have Protect, despite the fact that it's very dumb to have it, because all the fights get balanced around it.
