Actually that was what ticked me about Stormblood. Throughout the entire expansion, they didn't do jack to improve the lily system. In 4.05, they made it that cure 1 was 100 percent instead of 50 and in 4.2, you didn't need a lily for divine bension. Other than that, they didn't try to make the cdr stronger or they could have to where each stage of the lily could of has different effects for the ogcds. ANd then in 4.5, it was them admitting defeat when they did those whm changes plus the most hilarious buff to a move I've ever seen in this game with Assize getting its cd changed from 60 to 45 seconds, and its heal and damage potency getting bumped from 300 to 400.
