Removing TP

[bass9020]

Why is TP being removed? From a lore standpoint it makes sense, non magic classes use tactical points and magic classes use magic points. I still dont understand that we are still catering to people who get "confused" by having too many things to reference. Every class switching to just MP makes no sense. Why not make it a UI feature to switch the MP/TP bar depending on what class you are on, why is that so hard? I know some classes use both but thats an easy fix, all there skills will use either TP or MP.

Its just a minor complaint but I thought it was an odd choice to have it removed completely.

Because honestly, it doesn't matter what stat they use. This may be better depending on how else they change the system up. Reserving judgement until then.

we never needed tp to begin with it was a ff11 unique thing that got carried over for no reason.

It got carried over because the original concept for the battle system was gonna be an extension of the revamped system they did at the end of 1.23. where you actually had to build TP in order to do ya powerful combos which would have made combat a lot more tactical and less button spammy. In a sense of do you do your combo when you get to 1000TP or keep building to 3,000TP for a bigger burst of your combos later kinda sense...



Skills in 1.23 felt alot more powerfull and had more weight because of this. where with the current system nothing carries any weight or feels like it packs a punch. it's just spam buttons to keep up some flashy lights and sparkles on your autoattacks. nothing feel special or powerful.

to this day i wish they'd go back to that system. was so much better and felt so much more powerfull when you did combos

This might be just me, but that system just felt like the ATB system on active. Not saying that's a bad thing as I still play games with an ATB system. I am just not sure it's 'with the times' so to speak as far as today's mmos go.

I like the old system too, you can use Cure on undead, use ICE on Ifrit, every skill is unique.
now they are only use for combo, all you need to do is press 123, every job, on every single enemy, from 2.0 to 4.0... LOL
if you like doing combos you can do it in 1.2x too,

Yes the maps，ui in 1.0 are suck, but there are many things:
gameplays, content designs, open world, quest quality, community, sense of adventure & immersion, player interaction, good memories, etc, in 2.0 are inferior to 1.2x

New =/= always better
It's like Sangokushi 12 & 13 for example, the graphics are prettier, but the gameplay is a lot worse than before, feels like a web game or adobe flash game.

There is really only one class I can think of that will be negatively impacted by this(unless they MASSIVELY reduce the costs). And that's RDM.

Not just red mage paladin, dark knight, and bard use both as well.

BRD, PLD, DRK use TP/MP.

TP was a nonissue. Every melee has Goad, tp costs across the board have been reduced, ranged has Tactician for free, heavy TP cost actions like Fracture are gone, and Sprint is free.

It's less about why was TP removed, but why was it still in Stormblood?

[Nestama]

Wouldn't PLD also suffer a little as well? Maybe DRK, too?
