Inevitable Job Simplifications?

[CelestiCer]

A metaphor? I just don't like my steak bland and well done.

I personally do not see the excitement in requiring to intricately " move " my knife perpendicularly through the bland steak... Juggling my plate as to " move " my jus that's on my plate to coat my well done steak through convoluted " movements"... holding my spork with my toes and using that to somersault flip my flavorless steak into my mouth.

Listen,... I go to a restaurant if the food is good. Idc about it having a ballpit entrance with spikes, parkour defect escalator, with donkey-kong trampolines to get to my table and a toilet with monkey bars to get to it for the excitement. Idc if you wanna have your eating experience while surfing on a skateboard, that's completely fine. I just want the very fundamentals to be good and flavorful, the food.

Same thing, I go to a game? I am interested mainly in what I get to play. That is my character, my class, my Job. And god forbid that some people have a favorite Job like they do favorite dishes. Everything else I know is going to be secondary, because if my Job has depth, is flavorful, is fun? everything that is PVE combat will be fun.

• Raiding not as fun? my Jobs are still fun.
• MSQ not fun? my Jobs still fun.
• Sidequests not Fun? hey my Jobs still fun.
• Dungeons kinda easy? my Jobs are still fun though.
• Fates boring? got my Jobs still being fun.
• Not enjoying PvP? guess what? in PvE my Job is still fun.

Once my Job has its complexity taken away, has zero depth, is simplified, is hollowed out, is made not fun to play? or the focus is not on making my Job as fun to play?... now suddenly everything becomes a lot less fun.

I understand that people want to make it rocket science? how its limited by fight design or by balance or dear god the skill floor and the humanity of it all! on how our fingers will suddenly combust from all the fun buttons we get to press!

And Fun is subjective... as is a burned steak tasting amazing being subjective. Can definitely make the content better though, not going to argue that. But no amount of movement in some " Just Go Play Ultimate " narrative (coughs Yoshi-P)... is magically going to make my Job from less fun to more fun anywhere I take my favorite Jobs.
