Also got to keep in mind that devs try to please as much as possible but when push comes to shove, they'll almost always go for the larger group of folks in need, and the number crunching hardcore players are fairly small compared to the rest, not to mention western mindsets can be pretty different to the JP community, so it's a very difficult job for the devs.
It's not any easier to have more than 30 skills on a keyboard either. Especially if you want them to be accessible to use.
