Dev team, there needs to be a tutorial for limit break

[Shurrikhan]

On the one hand, yes, maybe the game should explain LBs. On the other hand, if you give each role a LB tutorial, some newbies--of all roles--are going to think they should be LBing at times that they shouldn't. And then some of these newbies are going to argue, "the game told me I should use it."

LB is arguably the most context-sensitive action in the entire game, and it may be better to let players tell other players to use it because the game can't possibly teach them in all contexts how to use it correctly--and how to correctly leave it alone for someone else to use.

Why are we assuming that the only thing an LB tutorial could teach is to use LB immediately and without context?

A tutorial can't possibly give enough context that we won't still be arguing over it years from now.

A tutorial can't possibly give enough context that we won't still be arguing over it years from now.

It can, in the course of some 2 minutes or less of tutorial text overlay across some 20 minutes of other context-setting events (e.g., an actual dungeon run, a few guildhests, or couple new Halls of the Novice scenarios), provide every bit as much context as even an astute player would likely garner across their 1-80 experience.

I realize XIV may set our expectations very, very low, but good tutorials (even when used minimalisticly) do exist and can be integrated even into this game.
