Compact skills similar to PvP

Way to still miss the point.

Should we go back to the start? The initial claim was that 'Every basic combo in the game had branches, no exceptions'.

Dragoon started with no branches in it's combos in ARR, this is a direct exception to your no exception statement.

After that statement, your original post stated that they started weeding out the branches, which again, Dragoon directly contradicts, ending at the state it is in now with more branching combos than it started with.

We also have Samurai and Red Mage who both have branching combos and as of yet, they haven't been reduced (and just to point out, no I'm not going to count Hyosetsu, the ice AoE shown in the job action trailer and is now only in PvP as it never made it to the release build for PvE actions).

The reason I am being so pedantic is a common trend I tend to see at the moment is people making generalised statements, acting like it applies to everything and making conclusions based on that false premise. This sort of thing helps noone and isn't a good way to try and get your actual grievances across.

To give an example, the common thing to say at the moment is, 'all jobs play the same'. This is completely untrue, but people still say it with no thought. However, dig deeper and what you actually find is people hate the fact every job plays into the 2 minute meta, which gives a much clearer picture as to what the actual issue is. There is also the fact that, in this case, saying every job plays the same, but the person receiving that feedback doesn't agree, then it is just going to get thrown out.

All this to say, words matter.

Okay, I actually agree. Thank you for the clarification, but can we move on to the actual discussion instead of this constant pedantry, when it's not outright sophistry?
