thank you i got more ideahs i though about putting my resume up on forums for the developement team i am in need of a job right now and i can travel to japan if need be i got a passport and exp with forign travels and work

Your ideas basically are asking SE to remake FFXI.

1. Way too much work. For the most part, people are not using old armor so why put forth so much time and effort to adjust it?

2. Making kirin's osode on a ring slot is a bit much. I like the idea of combining gear, but some of the gear we have now is overpowered so I don't think this would work well. I'd rather see synergy used to make a piece of gear look like a different piece of gear. The benefits would be great.

3. Giving one job abilities that make other jobs standout will lead to a stale experience. Why bring a blm if a pld can stun? Why bring a rdm if a pld can enfeeble? Too many negatives to even consider this idea unless the added effects are exclusive to pld and all jobs get useful abilities like this. Otherwise FFXI will wind up a game that people only play 4 jobs in.

4. To this day the Black Belt remains one of the best items you could have for your job in the game. It should be a pita to get one. I agree that the fight requirements should be adjusted for people who just want to experience the content, but incredible items like that should be hard to come by.

5. Crafting is hard enough to make money in... what is the point of buying any armor from AH if you can make it all yourself? The only thing the AH will sell is consumables and materials. Some people chose crafting because they don't like to farm. If you remove the limit then you basically remove the market and the ability to make gil. Not good.

6. Many of these requirements have been reduced or cut drastically, but with SE trying to breathe new life into events like salvage and nyzul I don't see them doing it again soon. At least wait to see what changes the next update brings before making a judgement on that one.

7. I really dislike the proc system. Actually, I'll go so far as to say I hate it.

8. Grief the grievers? Why waste the time? When you do they accomplish what they're trying to do in the first place.

9. The XI community doesn't really care for PvP. Although I liked it, the game mechanics of XI aren't set up well to support balancing people for both PvP and PvE content. I think it would draw back a small crowd that would quickly fade when they realized that two jobs can basically lockdown any other job combos.

10. You want to un-ban people who were known to exploit the game? You have a few good ideas, but this one is by far one of the worst I've seen here on the forums. Why un-ban people who knew they were exploiting the system to gain an unfair advantage? That just doesn't make sense to me. You might as well un-ban all those fishing caps who wrecked the economy in 2005. Technically that was an SE mistake too.

I admit it may make money I also admit it did far more damage then can be measured at this time. The PS3 is over a year off and with so many MMOs out and the fanboys of old Final Fantasy waking up it doesn't look good. The final Fantasy name has been taking hits for years and the fanboys of it are now leaving it behind. FF11 came out in a time when MMO were new and the FF name wasn't as tainted, now people know what they want to expect out of MMOs and SE is behind the times.

Did I mention we are getting boy mithra and girl galka in v2 as playable races? That alone will be a sight to see lol

Only if you played FFXI. Otherwise it's a completely unremarkable side point.

I understand what you are pointing out in the article, but we had that back in Ultima Online a decade ago. I apologize if I'm not particularly interested in a game that is trying to appeal to FFXI players but gutted one of my primary interests in the game: the jobs. Why would I want to start over playing inferior jobs? Every job i played was boring and played the same at release and when I went back several months later.

Why name it FFXIV if we are going to play jobs, but they aren't traditional FF jobs? Seems like a pretty juvenile attempt at marketing, that failed.

Traditional Final Fantasy jobs are being introduced next patch. They also completely revamped the current classes in their most recent patch to give them more focused roles, so you may find playing them more interesting now. I know that I was particularly pleased with what they did to Thaumaturge.

Yep in order thats brd, blm, war, whm, drg, mnk, pld

So excited to have brd incoming ^^

[Kimble]

Why is a Bard shooting a bow...

[Michae]

Cause its not just a stand there and sing version of brd. And its linked to the archer class. It will be more like brd/rng which will be fun and interesting in and of itself

[Originalkord]

Why is a Bard shooting a bow...

Because they nerfed Ranger

[Kimble]

Seems odd since I don't remember bard in any game having ranged type weapons. They were always sword and dagger kinda job.

Seems like they really reached to add Bard to the game, lol.

[Michae]

Alot of ppl think its a wierd combo but alot of ppl say its standard in other games. Ive never seen it but I dont get out of my little circle of favorite titles much
