Quality > Quantity. In MMOs where you have 8000 skills per class you're almost guaranteed to use only about 20 max, given the same skill gets rehashed into a higher version under a different animation but does the exact same thing, just a bit more damage or aftermath effect lasting longer.

The strip down of skills was only part of it and we've yet to fully get the rest of the system (job system) so it all can fall into place when they fully implement what they're doing.



That's the point -- This game shouldn't be a zergfest, TP is there to limit your spamming lol. If you're wise you can spam combos on Lancer for example, it's all in knowing how and when to use abilities with your TP.

yoshi already said he sees the need for the mages to have more skills so no need to white knight it, they see it needs to be changed. /equip <flame proof shield>

Status Ailment Spells and Instant Cast Spells
For casting classes, we will be allocating status ailment spells to each class.
They will be given debuff spells ranging from the core: sleep, paralyze, bind, charm, and heavy to spells that will lower enemy’s stats and resistance to magic.
(We are also planning to add a lot of spells to the currently existing classes at the time of 2.0.)

Funny thing is, those spells are currently in the data still and ignoring tier 2-3 versions, it still won't be that many depending on what is implemented with WHM and BLM in februrary.

depends on what you call a lot. percentage speaking adding 5 spells to each casting class would be considered a lot.

You seriously don't know what the term white knight means. Everyone agrees that the quality of abilities far outweighs the numbers. Yoshida saying mages need more skills doesn't mean he's saying they need 200 skills, it just means they need more quality skills and the first step of that was allowing the basics to scale with level.
