As a rather recent-ish refugee from.. that other game, I wasn't here long enough to get attached to positionals before EW, but wasn't really bothered by them either (having played sub rogue for like a decade..).

Chakra capping and losing (well, merging) OGCDs, however, does feel a bit off. It's probably been mentioned somewhere before, but would making Forbidden Chakra and Enlightenment only cost 2 chakras be feasible? Obviously, the potency might need to be lowered, but the new cost would provide some padding to avoid overcapping, and let us weave more into burst windows. Not to mention more dumps in between to spice up the 1-2-3 cycle. On one hand, this might be too busy during Brotherhood? But, on the other, it would kinda mesh with the whole blur of punches fantasy.

Just my 2 gil, fwiw.
