Skill Gain

[Aldaine]

I don't know about the rest of you, but while leveling in every other game I found that when you gained skills as a magic type such as Fire and Blizzard and Aero you gained them at separate intervals. Yet in this game its a little bit of a turn off when you gain a certain level and you get all of the new Fire, Blizzard, and Aero skills of a higher output (Fire II, Aero II..) on the same level. These should be separated across the leveling scale and be given at different levels in my opinion. o_O

In 11 they were seperated cuz they actualy had different damage levels
in this game they are just different elements but have the same effectiveness under the correct circumstances


thats why they are the same level unlike other games

[graiman]

agreed, i dont remember a game where you got that many spells all at once....
then again i might be wrong :P

[Aldaine]

Even though they may have same damage levels they shouldn't. Just because you don't want your new game to replicate your last MMORPG (FF11) doesn't mean you should re haul the skill systems statistics. It was nice getting stronger skills progressively and not just getting everything all at once, its kind of a dumb idea to be honest.

[Alcide]

Actually I find this system much better than the others. This way all of the nukes have the same power and you have to chose them in relation to the enemy weakness.

This doesn't make Stone suck, for exemple, like it was in 11.

[Aldaine]

Yea I guess that works as well, yet the variety in which you gain the skills should still be a little bit more diverse.

you start off with Fire, Blizzard, Aero, Stone, Thunder, and Water as Conjurer, a bit to much in my opinion. and also i didn't use them very often as you do more damage with just spirit darts.

Exactly how it felt. And even though you may focus on weaknesses, you could go through the game just using a single skill as it does nearly or exactly the same damage as the others, which makes the other skills pointless at some times.
