    In-depth customisation for abilities works much better in single player games rather than in multi-player games where the expectation is going to be to use the 'best' abilities for the sake of efficiency.
    No more so -- necessarily -- than job choice, minus the limit gauge gimmick...

    The additional abilities in XIV have wholly amounted to illusion of choice, but that's an issue with implementation, not an inherent flaw.

    For now, though, I'm glad to see Role Action swapping gone. That stuff couldn't even manage the illusion part.
