QoL and reducing number of the buttons suggestion

[ZiraZ]

I think the easiest and most common sense consolidation should be:

Any skill that is a **direct** requirement for another: Should be the same dynamically changing button.

See: Dragoon High Jump - Mirage Dive

AST: Draw and Play should be the same button,

Which would include the basic 1-2-3 buttons. They do nothing but add bloat. vs a single dynamic button.

You cannot do this to HJ, they tried mid EW and it was then hotfixed (twice I think?) followed by a complete reversion for a VERY good reason, if you want to consolidate skills at least know the consequences associated with it.
You are calling things bloat but don't even know the consequences it brings. HJ and Mirage are NOT bloat there is a very good reason why they are separate buttons.
I don't play enough AST but I also think you would want to be able to redraw not just blindly throw cards without being able to redraw.
Consolidating can be good (see Minor Arcana) but you have to be very sure of what you're doing or it ends up hurting the job.

Redraw is its own separate button. There's no reason why Draw/Play should be separate.
