1 hr abilities...hear me out

Flash was also our old hate-generating ability from 1.0 til it was removed with ShB (it didn't stun but blinded the enemy). And was a magic spell that was most definetley not only useable once every hour.

The 1-hour ability idea (and 2-hour abilities that they originally were) is an outdated relic from FFXI which may have worked okay back there, due to it's battle system being lethargic at best where parties and dungeons/battles could drag on for hours, so they could get away with abilities with such ridiculously long cooldown times. But times have changed and FFXIV's battle system is so much faster like any good modern MMO. Why have an ability that could effectively only be used once an hour and is little more than a gimmick when it's possible you could have rushed through three or four trials and dungeons by the time it's up again? Besides, in a way the Limit Break system already satisfies that.

So I do not see SE ever doing anything like that here in FFXIV I'm afraid.
