It's not often but it has happened before that I got overzealous with Shinten in Savage because I was paying too much attention to the mechanics and too little to my Kenki bar.

With that said I don't care so much about that or how difficult it is or whatever in this scenario, to me Kaiten is just fun to use that's my issue with the removal.
In the end of the day FFXIV has fairly static rotations, so when you remove a button from it then it makes it more monotonous and less engaging.
This is one of my primary concerns with this constant complaining from some people about '' button bloat ''.
Every time you remove a button you're adding monotony.

Then use a separate hotbar for AoE, saying that it's 32 buttons is kinda misleading because most people are talking about single-target that is ultimately what actually matters the most.
If you have two hotbars then set hotbar three to AoE and then just click the arrow to swap over when you want to AoE if you think it's hard to keybind...

I count 16 single target skills and 7 AoE.
That's not button bloat imo...
Can we not try to turn this game into WoW please?

Edit: 7 unique AoE buttons that is, I am not including buttons that are used in single-target too because those will already be bound.
