Customizing combo buttons

[BabyYoda]

I wish player have a system that you can customize GCDs

Like instead of 1 2 3 I can merge them to 1 or I can make it 121 instead
Less buttons same abilities and for people who like having 20 buttons in their hotbar they can have it

Viper and PCT is a great example of less button same functionality.

Please add an option to customize button combo for the people who like less buttons.

I'm wondering if PCT and VPR are just a test run for adding PVP combos to every job as an option. I wouldn't be against it.

I wish that we can have both options

Maybe. Yoshida previously said that they'd never consolidate combos like that because he thinks it makes hotbars look too empty, but he's also barely involved at this point.

Yoshida also previously said that the housing system wouldn't be tied to having an active subscription.

Yet here we are, doesn't matter what he says now.

Time will tell.

I agree, it should be optional! I don't like PvP, Viper, Picto and Summoner, they don't have enough buttons for my liking. There is no way to separate combos on them right now except for a few skills but that's not enough. People should be able to choose how they want to play. I enjoy pressing many buttons, some don't. Let us choose!

As for my personal choice I like the middle point between PvP kit and PvE.

For example Dragoon having 7 different buttons for insta cast GCD is too much for me it should be less 4 or 5 maximum buttons with the same current skill kit

There's a mod that does this IIRC.

The last thing the game needs right now is combo consolidation. The reason VPR has it is probably due to flavor and to enhance its basic GCD game play, as otherwise the job would've been left with 6 GCDs if they were not on the same button, making it as simple as their AoE combo.

Consolidating them on that job let them add the last 2 positionals for single target because they thought that having 8 buttons in your hotbars just for a basic combo was probably too much, even if the effect is having a job with empty hotbars.

Jobs are too simplified right now. Combo consolidation would only make sense if they were more complex and job design required it. As it stands, it doesn't. Doing PvP rotations in PvE would be awful.

Yeah keyword here is "optional" and flat out being able to adjust playstyle would only be a benefit. To be honest investing more into a system like that or improving macros would have been a much better way of "adjusting" jobs, thus letting player go about their way of playing rather than homogenizing and forcing the job to be played in a specific way... cant help but think things couldve been better...
