Feels like too much realism to me.
When I first started the game back in beta, almost immediately my question was; 'Wait, how does melee survive against magic users? I mean, they are basically taking a fireball to the face, and still walking away from it?'
It was then pointed out to me that in the Final Fantasy universe, this is quite common. See Squall getting pegged by Edea's Ice spell in FFVIII... or Squall getting stabbed by Siefer. Or Cloud getting run through by Sephiroth and surviving. Or Vincent shooting people and not killing them. Or Zack getting shot about a hundred times before dying.
People in Final Fantasy games.... they ain't like us. They're made of tougher stuff (in FFXIV thta would be aether) and are much harder to kill. Even if they take a bullet.
