The job went from being really flexible in Endwalker, to being really strict and inflexible in Dawntrail.
It feels wrong that I can't use Kaeshi: Setsugekka or Kaeshi: Goken at will. Instead its tied to Meikyo Shisui which makes the job a lot more rigid than before when we had the freedom to use Kaeshi: Setsugekka or Kaeshi: Goken whenever we want.
The game forces you to rip Tsubame Gaeshi after every Iajutsu in a Meikyo Shisui window instead of allowing the player to make the decision of whether or not they want to use Tsubame.
Also, speaking of being forced to rip Tsubame after every Iajutsu, Why does using Tenka Goken or Midare Setsugekka in a Meikyo window get rid of "Tsubame Ready"? Really reinforcing that you have to rip Kaeshi instead of possibly saving it for the next Midare or Tenka.
Square Enix mentioned they made these changes to "simplify recast management" but this causes more problems to the established fluidity and freedom the job had in Endwalker. If anything, The changes made to Tsubame-gaeshi overall makes the job feel much worse to play than before.
