[Black Mage] Please re-implement the shared action options from the Media Tour

[Pyitoechito]

During the media tour for black mage, certain element-exclusive spells had shared action slots (swapping based on Astral Fire/Umbral Ice). These were:

• Fire IV and Blizzard IV
• Flare and Freeze
• Despair and Umbral Soul

Which I personally thought was an amazing change, especially as a controller player that likes any form of action consolidation and since those spells are only ever available in their respective AF/UI state. However, in the live game these changes weren't implemented, which feels like a big bamboozle. Please, SE, re-implement the black mage shared spells as an option! I really need to emphasize making it an option so players can freely choose if they want to share the slots or not.

I went and rewatched some media tour videos because I couldn't believe they actually coded it, had it working and then just decided to... not?
I genuinely believed for a moment that I just made the whole thing up in my head
Could we at least get some developer commentary on this?

Yeah why would they take this away. Feels like this could be for muse and motif as well on picto) I don't really know why they are separated

I was extremely excited for this button consolidation to happen and am really upset that it hasn't. Even aside from creating room for future skills, it would genuinely be better for my hands if I could hold down modifier keys like shift or control less often.

[Ggwppino]

ah ok, I wasn't crazy. Shared Action were actually present on the media tour

[LilimoLimomo]

I was so disappointed to find that these changes were missing when the game released. As a controller player with arthritis, these consolidations would have been an accessibility boon for me.

[Pyitoechito]

I really hope they re-implement it at 7.05, or 7.1 at the latest, but I won't hold my breath.

[OgruMogru]

Oh thank god I thought I'd dreamt them mentioning this for BLM and just blamed myself when I couldn't find the options to do it.

[Basteala]

Same. I was really friggin' confused when the game launched.

Granted they might have to recode Umbral Soul if they did--since that shared a spot with Despair, and Umbral Soul is available waaaay earlier now.

Oh I didn't catch that!

The Fire/Blizzard placement would probably make me rethink my main BLM keybind setup and learn new muscle memory... HOWEVER, it would be for the absolute best.
