Retired Content
- The subject of this article was retired or removed from the game in patch 5.0, and is no longer available to players.
- Retired items may still be kept in inventory but can no longer be renewably obtained. Tradable items may still be obtained from the Market Board or directly trading with other players.
- The information in this article is kept and maintained for historical purposes.
- During Stormblood,
Esuna was an optional skill which a player might not always want to bring. This list was created to help track whether Esuna was useful in any given duty. - As of Shadowbringers, changes to the Role actions system mean that Esuna is now always available.
