Playing a Healer Character myself I often opt for the references provided in game on how healing is often performed. Sometime during the MSQ you come across one of Y'shtola's friends who got injured. This friend had broken bones and such and it took considerable amount of time for them to be healed up before you see her in the story line again. You also see it in the Stormblood story line that healing isn't an 'instant' process. Often times major injuries require attention and require more then a single treatment. So I know when I mend someone I always describe it as my character helping the body regenerate its cells and damage tissue. I always emote as if I'm accelerating the process faster then what the body typically would do; but it also allows room for me and the person to RP over multiple sessions rather then a 2 minute fix.Â
Healing in Combat situations I always treat it as giving someone 'Strength' to press through the pain and perhaps provide the wounded area's a means to mend slightly to keep them from going critical. Of course some wounds are to devastating and so sometimes the healing just is done to keep someone up and in the fight until the combat ends and they can collapse usually in worse condition. I don't know, I know the people I rp with like to RP their injuries and to be honest I like to RP the constant care. Like I said this was demonstrated in much of the MSQ. Injuries don't seem to be instantly healed.. least from what I can recall from the MSQ.
Essentially I agree with Nebbs. Leaving it to the player to decide is best.
