If you're having a difficult time with word limit, I recommend copying your text onto a blank word document and finishing your thoughts there, then go back through the response and find ways to condense the text while still communicating your intentions. It's something I often do whenever I feel like I have a lot to say about something.

I think it's not so much word limit, but how the sheet displays longer responses. Perfect example is #45 for BRD on the 'Ranged answers' sheet, it's so long due to having two 'directions' suggested that it got squished to almost illegibly small font size. Though I suppose by going on the BRD specific sheet, clicking the cell, and reading it's contents via the 'formula bar' at the top is a potential workaround

Also could you edit the OP to say 'please feel free to share this as much as possible' to incentivize it getting propagated around community

I will add for MCH is the flamethrower skill. I hate that every time I use it on mobs they decide to target my area to force me to stop it. Either make it like a mech that does it for me or Put a canister that spews flames and deals damage to the mobs

I was thinking, what if they reduce Flamethrower to a 5s channel, and make it do double damage when BioBlaster is applied to the enemy? That way, it's a definite gain to use Bio > Flamethrower on 2, and even a gain to do one of your three drills as Bio > FT on one target (it'd be 300 from Bio, plus 160 x 5 ticks from FT, vs flat 600 from Drill). I guess it's kinda similar to how NIN subs out one Raiton out of 3 per 60s loop to do Suiton for Trick

Added that note to the top of the post.

Yeah, there are some that are really long, and the problem if they get too big is that if the cell becomes larger than an average browser window. Google sheets seems to require that an entire cell row or column be on the screen, so it gets very weird if it's too large. I'm not sure what I could do better to make that feedback readable. The feedback notes are also available if you go back to the form and check the results, but I'd like to have a readable version of them on the spreadsheet as well. My mind's drawing a blank on how to do that part better... I could perhaps make the cells much larger and collapse the columns so you can look at one job at a time? I'll experiment a little when I make the next set of feedback forms and spreadsheets, but if anyone has any suggestions, take a screenshot of what might be a better format and share it with me. I can save it for Media Tour time.

On the topic of written responses, though, for anyone that's been readying through them, are there any write-in answers that stood out to you in some way?
