Maybe if they implemented multi-hit attacks, deathblows from Xenogears, situational skills, and crowd control abilities they could rebalance things. But, that also means that the personal skill floor will be raised higher in the developer's eyes. It would just be easier for them to implement everything if they just made a new game that would eliminate the spaghetti-code issue excuse...

TBH, just allowing crit to help with procs alongside the 35% proc-rate for BRD & DNC would definitly be like a total QoL improvement in terms of fun and RNG.
Oh, and totally make a six-to-eight-hit flamethrower drones for MCH, and outright replace the current action. It's the super obvious thing to implement...
