just make it like XI's blu... have a set point system (framework is already in place with cross class abilities) and have us pick and choose spells. oh no, little johnny *** is trying to join my party without any spells learned. why the *** should I be compassionate and let him come anyway? how hard could it be to go learn a spell? get the dodo to ***on you a couple times then come back and try to leech your way through my ramuh party scrublord.
enough of this "everyone should be accepted" ***. if it's going to negatively affect my playtime and the playtime of the 6 others in the party besides myself and the offender, why should we suffer for their incompetence? take the time to inform yourself and learn the basics before trying to "progress" beyond your paygrade.
