[QUOTE="Bigsta, post: 7830889, member: 6803284"] Final Fantasy 2/4 came out in 1991. The healing system in that game (and nearly every JRPG after that) is the same as the healing system 5e has now. If one of your party members was reduced to 0 hp, you either cast "Life" (a low level spell) or used a "Phoenix Down" (a 100gp potion) to immediately bring them back to life at full fighting capacity. A stay at the inn would give you full HP and all spells back. A 27 year old who begins playing 5e today has never lived in a world where 5e's healing system wasn't deeply engrained in the gaming meta. If anything, as of 4e D&D finally caught up to the general RPG standard. 5e's healing system isn't contradictory, it's what most new players grew up with and would expect to see. And don't give me that TTRPGs and CRPGs can be compared. 5e is nothing more than a combination of Final Fantasy + Diablo + Soulcalibur + Anime + Professional Wrestling with a D&D covering and greater freedom of choice (and that's why I love it).
