What's the point of Peloton now?

Time to bring back Arm Graze and Palisade

always thought peloton should be useable in fights

I’m surprised nobody brought up Hermes/Striders’ Boots

I have the latter in my bag 24/7 just for that extra 10s sprint in cities. What will they become now?!

Sprint is still faster than Peloton, but even I've ditched them because the fc buff is more convenient

I like the change a lot. It massively helps new players who don't have all classes/roles unlocked, especially those who lack the Chocobo.

I have no problem with Jog. My problem is with Peloton, that obviously needs something. It has always needed something, but now more than ever. Or just delete it and replace it with actually meaningful role actions that aren't just deep dungeon useful options (in fact I am a huge proponent of splitting role actions between deep dungeons / overworld and duty actions). Rphys role actions are really, really underwhelming in duties, and Peloton serves nothing of value today.

Peloton is still better than jog, but it's nice that you now have a weaker variation of it, even if you don't have a Phy Range in your party. It allows you to keep the momentum.

1) What you gain out of it in a dungeon amounts mathematically to barely 5-10 seconds gained. All psychological.
2) If you argue that this is good and disagree with the former point, then it means this is indirectly harming rphys options by making the role even less useful for parties.

Peloton was shit, and it's even shittier now, and I'm standing by my words there until proven otherwise.

Oh please, how is it harming them? The way I see is it's that it comes from a time when having Peloton was a lot more impactful than what it is now.

You talk about Peloton, but what about Leg Graze and Foot Graze? I do agree that role actions of phy range should be reworked at this point as they serve little to no purpose aside from Peloton, second wind, and arm's length.

I don't think it is harming them? Like I said, I think Peloton has always been a pretty useless gimmick. You're the one that seems to think it has good uses, so if Jog starts stepping on what Peloton brings, then it by definition harms rphys indirectly. How can I make this clearer?
The way you see it is wrong. Peloton comes from Swift Song, which was a bard unique ability that was usable exactly like Peloton is right now. And when I say it was a gimmick, that's because it has always been, but as a BRD unique, it was whatever, just part of the job's flavor. It wasn't a role action. The mistake was to make it a role action when it didn't have the qualities to become one in the first place.

Leg Graze and Foot Graze are very dusty and could be better, but they do have uses in non standard pve like deep dungeons or field exploration (notably Eureka but you'll have to remember that at release mounts weren't usable in there until you elemental level capped the area, and mobs of the same level were probably going to delete you if you caught aggro, so having those crowd control options was often the difference between life and death).
