Still kinda miffed that they didn't just reference the Vana'diel elemental wheel where Fire > Ice > Wind > Earth > Lightning > Water > Fire -> repeat. And Light = Darkness. Instead they got like 4/6ths of it the same, but then Water > Earth and Wind > Fire... which one is basically pokemon logic while the other is idk... Avatar the Last Airbender?

Looking at it like Umbral/Astral terms or whatever...

Wind > Fire = an Astral effect beating an Astral effect... ok...
Water > Earth = Umbral beating Umbral... ok...
Ice > Wind = Umbral beating Astral
Fire > Ice = Astral beating Umbral
Lightning > Water = Astral beats Umbral
Earth > Lightning = Umbral beast Astral

Normally
Wind > Earth = A > U
Fire > Ice = A > U
Lightning > Water = A > U
Water > Fire = U > A
Ice > Wind = U > A
Earth > Lightning = U > A

Perfectly balanced... but FFXIV's is jank for, to me anyway, seemingly for no reason.
