Job simplification

[Raikai]

Part of me wants to go full scorched earth, pull an ARR on the job design, and design it all from the ground up with a new design ethos, using only remnants and base ideas from the previous iteration.

Yes I know just how much of a monkeys paw wish that would be, I really, REALLY don't trust Square with such a task.

It's really a wet dream and a big risk that I'd love to see.

I mean, given their plans, in theory, the best time to do this would be in 8.0 since they'll focus on job play.

But then, can we really expect anything drastic to happen? I don't think. But I'd absolutely love to be surprised.

I don't expect more than a token gesture unless the game starts hemorrhaging players and money, and even if that happens they're tone deaf enough that I could see them double down on dumbing it down.

At this point just reduce every class to a single button.

Tanks get a "Tank" button that does room wide AOES and applies provoke on all targets not currently targeting the tank and applies a party-wide defensive buff every 3 uses of the button and causes a bunch of magical shields and barriers to appear around everyone else.

Healers get a "Heal" button that casts a dungeon wide AOE heal at no MP cost that also applies a regen, a shield, and resurrects anyone hit by it if they happen to have died and casts a lot of holy themed sparkles and light effects around the party

DPS get a DPS button that casts a room wide AOE that produces negative aggro, does a ton of damage and reduces everyone else´s time to cast by 50% and causes a lot of explosions and slash effects to go around the room Demonslayer style.

Then 2 patches later make it so that the process is automatic and no longer requires pressing a button.

Don't forget they need to port it on mobile and put in a lot of NFT.
