So, what do the JP players think?

[vetch]

Neither side does it right. Megathreads are terrible forum practice because they force people to sift through pages of unrelated things to find the topic they're looking for. The EN forums have the opposite problem of creating multiple threads for single topics and then having the discussion about that single topic spread among multiple threads.

Good forum practice, which neither side will ever get to, is 1 thread ≡ 1 topic. This makes it easier to find relevant topics and prevents people from having to skim past irrelevant other topics in the same thread.

But then this requires many, many moderators to cross-check and fork and close duplicate threads, and moderators have to be paid, so this method is also wrong (from Square's perspective).

So is that perhaps driven by the prevailing attitude in English speakers that you should try to heal as little as possible and let people's HP get as low as it safely can? Or do the Japanese players do that too?

If there's a mismatch in how different cultures think the healer should be acting, I can see that being a source of them getting spooked, JP tanks ask for more self-sustain and get it, EN "calculated minimum" healers see this as a reason to keep the tank even less healed up, and it turns into a vicious cycle driving both role designs to a weird place?

Do most healers actually do "calculated minimum", though? Not in my experience. Most healers I see don't try to keep the tanks topped off but they do try to keep their HP reasonably high. It's not like EN healers are constantly keeping tanks with their trigger finger on their invulns.

I see many hate the SCH transformation. I just do not get why. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Because it overwrites the look of your character. Glamour is after all the true endgame. People spend many hours on perfecting their look, they spend even real money in the shop to get new outfits, and then this skill just puts a boring long white robe on you. Wings are pretty hit or miss as well. I hate them.

This skill robs the individual identity each player gave to their character.

It overwrites your outfit with something that looks more like something a WHM would wear.

I guess i am more comfortable to transform into a angelic being for 20 seconds than most people.

I still do not get the outrage. It is for a short duration in the fight.
