"Patch 5.0"

And yeah, as Rongway said, the NPC teaches you this in the starter quests and I thought it was really intuitive. Same with Verflare/Holy as reading it told you exactly what you needed to do
You know you might actually be right about that,

I seem to remember back then double casting Scatter at points, but at the same time I remember using Verthunder 2 while working it up to 60th for Stormblood in PoTD. I know we had Moulinet because I recall using that in AoE dungeon scenarios. That was a while ago. But it may have been when I came back into the game during ShB and got those and was shocked that it was backwards for the AoEs. But I definitely remember having to experiment which to use first, Jolt or Verthunder due to the fact the Questline only said cast short spells first not which spells to use first so you had to experiment.

The weapon skills into Verholy and Verflare were pretty easy since they all lit up in order on your bar, but things like Acceleration were kinda... what is this for?

That said I do agree with you that the job flows really well and is very rhythmic once you figure it out.
