Don't remove Hissatsu: Kaiten

[Kairo]

I've been playing since beta, and I have never felt the need to write a post in the 8 years of my time in Eorzea until now.

I could regurgitate the many major reasons why removing Kaiten is a bad idea for both the casual and hardcore player base, but they have been said in depth already. There are many, many other ways to reduce action/button bloat, but the removal of a core aspect of Samurai's identity and gameplay is NOT the way.

I do not want to guilt trip or play into victim mentality here, but I'm simply being honest when I state that I will stop playing samurai, and most likely the game if it is over simplified to this extent.

I'm very anxious about sharing my thoughts publicly, but it's worth it even if it's the slimmest chance that my post could be a tipping point in the developer's decision.

Thank you for your consideration.

I was the same, never posting here until I saw these changes. The devs really need to reevaluate this

I have absolutely no problems with the developers combining buttons via procs in order to lower button bloat, like Gunbreaker did for one of its higher-level combos; what I don’t understand is why Square Enix doesn’t do that for more melee attack combos as a wiser alternative to reduce overall button bloat rather than notably reducing job variety by taking away unique abilities without unique replacements to balance it out.

I was the same way. Hoping my voice adding to the rest will be enough. Thank you for speaking up.
