I feel like adding this is going to just further cater to people not learning how to play the game which is part of why every job is just homogenized and braindead now. I dunno, it might seem like a drop in the bucket but even another inch down this slippery slope we've been rocketing down for years has me wary. At a certain point we need to stop handholding, you know?
Oh, I know how to use Phoenix Downs, I just don't care to carry them around the same way I don't bother with other potions or food. I've only got so much inventory space and there's other things I'd rather be spending gil on, so they're not a priority for me.

If people are dying that much in normal content where Phoenix Downs have become a "necessity" than that just tells me the content is over-tuned.
