The ff X skill template and ff VII materia system definitely.so promising... good work GGG!

Would that make Path of Exile really Final Fantasy LXX?

Are the guys from Grinding Gear Games... from the future?

I find the idea of exchanging active skills with other players odd. I mean, things would be then like in D2 where you can just buy your character and all his items in one click with real money from online shops... and it makes the game useless since most people will just pay to have the best character with the best skills and items like the "hammer paladin" in D2 for example... I don't want to trade all the time just to have good active skills.
Think of it.
Edit : I realize i should have post this in another thread sorry

They can smell our future desire.

This system will be amazing, I always wanted to connect more support materia to action materia at once :)

I wonder if we will be able to connect two same gems - like 2x increased dmg to frost nova?

You actually could do that in FF7 and it worked like it does in the advanced support section

"

If multiple copies of the same skill gem exist in different groups, then all supports in those groups will be applied to the overall skill. For example, if you have Ice Nova linked with “Increased Area Of Effect” in one linked socket pair, and Ice Nova linked with “Multiple Casts” in another socket pair, then your Ice Nova skill will cast multiple large novas when used. This is equivalent to linking all three of these gems together in a group of three sockets.

You could link an Ultima materia to Quadra Magic to have it cast 4 times, then link another Ultima to HP Absorb, and another Ultima to MP Absorb and another to Steal as Well, and another to Sneak Attack and you would open the battle with Ultima 4 times and each one would heal your HP and Mp when they deal dmg and steal items too

If you haven't done this FF7 is worth revisiting to see this in action, hell I want to play it again now, lol

Then you have someone with Cover and HP Plus, and seven pairs of Counter linked with Mime and they counter with mime... 7 times so using the previous action, 28 Ultimas

As soon as I saw the skill tree on a live stream and the skill gems I though Final Fantasy as well. I love the idea and I think it leads to almost limitless customizable potential for all your characters. I can't wait to get a chance to play it !!

The first thing I thought of was FFVII too. That's still my favorite skill system so I can't wait to start playing this game!

Are there to be Chocobos as well? That will be great! hahaha Joking, i hated those Horse birds...

+1 totally agreed

This skill system defiantly reminds me of FF7. One of my most favorite skill systems in any game am very hyped for PoE because of it. Surprised that I am only just now seeing a skill system similar to ff7 in a MMO.

Hey, a skill system that is varied and synergized, awesome.
