Ah, and you got that fix out of pressing "static rotation A" instead of "static rotation B" like you did on, say, Red Mage. That makes sense. I can see the "totally new gameplay experience" that provided.

/s, if that wasn't obvious enough...

(discussing gameplay differences in a game lacking 3 out of 4 types of class design is just absurd, they're all gameplay-wise the same? >.>)

Back to the topic, yeah I kinda agree. It's weird to no longer have at least 2.5s of casting, but the job definitely doesn't feel this outdated any more, which it previous quite did comparing all other ones (and since changing all of those to fit BLM more to then adjust all fight design was utopian for understandable reasons, this made sense). It also puts a bigger focus on "building up to Flare Star", which is cool given it's superb visuals.

So yeah, overall really nice. Mostly it's the same sequence of the same buttons, everything feels a bit faster, and you no longer instantly feel like you would not be letting your group down if you had just brought any other caster the moment a fight requires you to do stuff other than standing and casting.
