Nah. It can ONLY be cast in combat. WAR is not only too angry to die, it's too angry to let YOU stay dead either.

And it can only target people with the Raise status, ensuring duplication.

WAR will scare you back to life.

Bonus points if said Warrior is a Lalafell.

• Every skill, spell, and ability except for your level 1 damaging spell/skill can only be used 100 times before it breaks and can no longer be used.
  
  
• Broken skills, spells, and abilities can be repaired by logging offline in an area that gives rested XP; one ability is repaired (and set back to 100 uses) per 15 minutes logged out.
  
  
• Skills, spells, and abilities cannot be pre-emptively repaired; they must break before they can be repaired that are broken can be repaired in this way.
  
  
• If multiple skills, spells, or abilities are broken, they are repaired in alphabetical order, regardless of the class that owns them.

Job Stones have 3 charges. You use one charge per duty. Afterwards the stone goes on cooldown until the following day and you're downgraded to just your class. Jobs without a base class become unplayable. You can still queue up for whatever as just your class... if you want.

Two ideas:

1. After you are inducted into the Scions, if you are outside where you need to be for your MSQ, you will receive periodic linkpearl calls every ~15 minutes prompting you to complete your current story quest. The character that contacts you will be different depending on what part of the story you're on (e.g. Minfilia, Alphinaud, Tataru).

2. Similar to the above, but with a personal assistant mammet that reminds you to do daily/weekly content and challenges. All of it.

Once you have visited the Waking Sands, you will be forcibly teleported back to it at random intervals, including from within instanced duties, unless the duty is required for your current MSQ quest.

Every time you die to a dungeon/raid/ultimate boss you have to watch the cutscene. No this is not skippable.

Additionally. You cannot leave the dungeon until everyone has watched the last story cutscene. If you force quit the game you lose all the experience and progress of that dungeon and, if you needed it for MSQ progression, sorry, but you gotta do the whole thing over again.

ALL the alley raid gear needs to be augmented again. And having the NPC augment the gear has a 50/50 percent of failure, breaking the gear.

In order to progress leveling Samurai beyond lv90 in Dawntrail? they must solemnly swear to wish " Hissatsu: Kaiten " back! With a side quest where upon finishing it? Square created a dramatic in-game cutscene... of our WoL... Putting up a Kaiten Icon poster in Kugane as we shed a singular DPS tear above a bonsai tree that sits peacefully underneath the poster to wish for its return

L-Listen DX !! t-this is a great... I mean terrible! idea ( obviously ) and of course Square s-should not i-implement this...

All Iaijutsu have their potency numbers reduced by 50%. Hissatsu: Kaiten is implemented as a level 100 trait that raises the potency of Iaijutsu by 50%.
