So, I was reading the "Campaign is broken" thread, and got to Mellowy's rant about how Campaign is "supposed" to be designed for casual players but they end up getting screwed over because of the fact that you don't start getting the good xp/an until you get to the higher ranks. Well, it got me thinking: SE should just scrap that whole system, and give all ranks the XP/AN per minute that Moonlight Medal holders currently do.

Instead, give your character special bonuses and certain unique job traits/abilities only in Campaign (highlighted the important part for anyone planning to blast me for suggesting overpowered sh*t. Yeah, I am, but it's Campaign, so who's it hurting?), based on his/her current rank.

For instance (just kinda throwing out ideas here atm, all JA/JT names are tentative :p)

All jobs: +3% HP and MP, +1 to all primary attributes per rank, -2% all MP costs per rank; +100% Recycle, Ninja Tool Expertise, Card Expertise, and Jug Expertise (hey, if they can pull Conserve TP out of their asses, they can pull the last two!)

BLM: +2 Magic Accuracy and Magic Attack per rank
@Star Rank: Spikeskin (JT): Reduces incoming physical damage when you have a Spike spell up, starts off at -66% PDT but decays as you take damage, down to a minimum of -10%
@Emblem Rank: Voracity (JA/1min Duration/1min Recast): Makes your next Drain or Aspir into an AoE spell

WHM: +2% Cure Potency per rank
@Star Rank: Revivesence (JA/Instant/30sec recast): Instantly removes the effect of weakness on target player.
@Emblem Rank: Goddess' Veil (JA/1min Duration/1min Recast): Your next healing or enhancing spell (Stoneskin, Blink, Regen, Barblargra, etc.) costs 2x its normal MP, but effects all nearby players and Allied troops

That's all I can think of for now anyways, feel free to add your own, or any other comments, concerns, or requests for me to perform an acrobatic maneuver in the direction of mobile pastry.

Laters!

Temp everything would be pretty sweet. I'd kill to be able to buy an oracle's drink (the besieged MAB+ drink iirc) or a revitalizer on my blm.

I made this thread, that is still on the first page concerning unique abilities that are active during campaign.

Yeah, that's part of what I was hoping to fix with this, is making players less afraid to tank NMs because (hopefully) the +%HP from having a good rank will let them actually take more than one or two hits before dying

Recycle/expertise just being added with traits would be nice. I think some other traits being added to help give mage jobs an incentive to melee. And please, please, please give people traits to let them tank more. The incentive of getting exp easier is there, but still so many people would rather wait for someone else to tank.

I hope if something is added, its added automatically as part of recieving your Campaign tags. Its already a bit of a nightmare getting tags, joining a union, then buying the odd temp item. By this point, Gi'Ghi has usually come over and introduced me to his ability to down me faster than my PC can load him up :P

what about some kind of temp potion that give an "unlimited shoot" effect lasting few minutes ?

but even if i can see the point(money used), mages would probably be jealous since there is no way SE is going to give them unlimited mp for campain...
