That I do not recall but I wont rule it out, if there is a new super weapon then thats something different entirely, but it sounds possible. I would have to wonder what they will be about. Relics are about Attack/Acc bonus, unique Aftermath, and additional effects. Mythics are about job specific super weapons to augment the job itself, while giving a boost to a job specific WS. Emps are built on a great WS, with an extra boost in the form of +10~20 of the attribute that is the mods on the WS. So I am kinda curious what would come next.

The weapons won't come right away, which already is problematic. The situation is not the same as pre abyssea ; nowadays anyone that plays several times a week has an empy or a relic. When pup/cor/sch/dnc were released it was ok to not give them relics but nowadays, they are entirely part of the job.

You should probably go back and read the original post you quoted. They were talking about XIV not XI.

On another note, the devs did confirm back when they announced the new expansion for XI that Rune Fencer uses a GS. As a matter of fact I'm pretty sure it was Camate here, on the O.F.

FF14-ARR is listed as December 2013 release for both PS3 and PC on Amazon. Granted this could change, but basically they need one full year before the game is ready to be shipped and released. No information on when SoA is going to be released. I have a feeling there is delay lol, and they will not ship this close to Fall 2013, which means we are going to deal with over 10 months of dry spells here in the land of FFXI. With no new road map, it's pretty much on life support until SoA is being released.

The very ideal that it could be a Magic Tank is broken, PLDs can hit -87.5% MDT I think, and thats basically taking to down to nothing, especially when you put in Magic Defense Bonus. Basically, without having Reflect the job will have no tank use because its very foundation is flawed. Its DD will be shit unless it gets the OAT GS, Resolution, and enough good DD gear to support it doing good damage. Even then, the fact its supposed to be a tank means its damage will likely be weaker by default due to lower STR/Attack than your average DD.

Magic tank can work just as long as they don't make it an actual tank. Rather than a job which holds the mobs attention it just needs to tank magic, similar to how Cover works but as a magic lightning rod (or Runic for anyone who's played FFVI). That could couple with the runes concept of the job quite nicely as well; Runic absorbs magic attacks and refreshes the jobs rune counter, increasing the RNFs damage output and protecting the party from various spells. As long as its damage output isn't horrendous (which it will be at launch) it could be a viable DD which helps mitigate a significant amount of AoE damage.

That said, I have no faith in the development team to pull that off and I certainly don't expect it to be a worthwhile job for at least half a year after launch regardless of what they do with it.

ARR will be out no later than Summer 2013.

Even if the release date is a year off, some teasers and such would be appreciated. FFXIV:ARR is putting out official videos of alpha gameplay. We could at least get that.

Would be nice, since you know if(when) ARR fails, they're banking on XI to keep them afloat.

Look another person who either never played XIV or only played when it was broken.

I will see you in XIV later this year when SoA is postponed again and serve you a nice big helping of crow
