I don't think removal of choice fixes anything. I would rather have a choice between something I will very rarely use and something common, rather than no choice at all. It only impacts the people that enjoyed that rarely used skill. I don't think removing fun out of the game, even if it isn't my own, is any good, honestly.

That's why I kinda miss the cross skill system. I really enjoyed using Stoneskin as PLD. I really miss the CNJ casting animation on them too.

And even if it was dumb fun, Cure on Lancer, too. I mean, the weapon floated and everything, it was so out of place, it was actually hilarious. But anyways.

Clemency has its uses. It may not be a cutting edge optimisation too for sure, but if at least a few people enjoy it, or that it saves a few runs, that's more than good enough for me.
