Suggestions for Combat system... I hope Yoshi.P read this.

In my opinion, the game still has tons of excessive buttons tied to specific situations which should become "switchable skills". Skills that cannot be pressed all the time should not appear on the hotbars. Or at least, there should be options/toggles to make those skills "auto-switch" for those who want a smoother and simpler combat. People who want to keep the "classic/old" combat will still be able to enjoy it the way they want. Games like FFXV, FFXVI and even fighting games such as: Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, Street Fighter VI give people the options to play the way they want. Why can't FFXIV do it, right?
For example: BLM's Blizz IV and Fire IV are very situational specific. One can only be casted in Umbral Ice state and the other is in Astral Fire state. Why not combining both into one "switchable skill" (can be toggled on/off based on your reference)?
Another example is the new job Pictomancer, "Blizzard in Cyan" can only be casted while under the effect of Subtractive Palette. And while Subtractive Palette is in effect, "Fire in Red" is greyed out... in that state, the button cannot be pressed. Why not making the "Fire in Red" auto switch to "Blizzard in Cyan" while you are in Subtractive Palette? The same is applied to many other skills across many other jobs. In my opinion, many players will find it smoother and more fun if the game can expand more "switchable skills" options. If the "switchable skills" option/toggle expands, I will feel extremely happy and I'm sure it's not just me feeling that way. Thank you!
PS: Reduce screen clusters and help players to be able to look at the enemy targets and the surrounding environment is great. It's more enjoyable looking at those things rather than pasting my eyes on the hotbars. And it's better to feel relaxed and good pressing the buttons (visual and sound play the big roles here) rather than feeling headache and stressful... especially to those who have OCD (like me). Thank you again.
