would love a class/classes that're about talking down the opponent, but logically that would immediately clash with damage dealing. something that maybe still has the HP bar and numbers but it represents Hubris Points or something clever.

Have two HP bars. Health (for people who WANT dps) and will to fight for those who would rather be pacifist. Maybe give different rewards depending on how you beat them (the more I talk the more it sounds like Undertale)

Possibly a stagger gauge then for the Hubris Points? That class can specifically keep the boss staggered and slows down enrage without engaging directly with the boss mechanics. But this doesn't feel quite right...

kinda like how xiv crafting is a battle against your items and stamina. we could pvp by sharing "quips" and "comebacks" or even "your mother jokes" that we can of course customize with flavor text.

A tactical form of L.A. Noire is actually such a sick idea.

people could class as a "brute" who only has crude insults (though how crude is largely up to the player) or a "gentlefolk" who belittles opponents with public shame and smart talk.

Yesss, I love xiv crafting especially turn-ins specifically because the rng elements make it so that "damage" ie increasing quality/collectibility is not the only thing you're gunning for at all times
