Wisdom of Nym: Is it time to bring elemental damage back to Final Fantasy XIV?

This article discusses the potential return of elemental damage types to Final Fantasy XIV, a system removed during the transition from 1.0 to 2.0. The author argues that reintroducing elemental weaknesses and resistances could add depth to combat mechanics and job differentiation, citing Blue Mage's use in the Masked Carnivale as a precedent. While acknowledging potential design challenges, the piece suggests that modern game design and player visibility make it more feasible now than in the past.
