So when I say influence I'd like to mention specifically the introduction of several jobs and weapon types that were added to Second seemingly taken directly from XIV. Namely the greatsword and gun weapons and then Astrologian and Hawkeye, does anyone else think these were put specifically into the game because XIV got it's expansion before Second's official English release, so SE decided to ease their work a little bit and copy and paste the jobs and weapon types over to the game for it? Because Second was released before Heavensward in Japan and they could have easily decided to release them simply because it seemed to make sense since they were being added in an expansion shortly thereafter.

I absolutely got that impression with the Astrologian job and it was a nice touch. Seeing a gun in one of the stores in the game surprised me, I will have to get the Hawkeye job to see if it relates with Machinist in any way.
I also got a similar feeling from the Arcanist job in Bravely Default. The FFXIV Arcanist (+summoner fester) is very very similar to the Bravely Default Arcanist.
Now, when can I expect the Bravely Second Agnes and Tiz glamours? No? What do you mean no? Please make it happen! Please?
Bravely Second Tiz glamour would be so awesome. As for a female glamour, whichever one you choose is good enough for me since I like them all. My sister on the other hand would kill for Vestal Agnes or Bravely Second Agnes glamour. -

I'd rather they take influence from Bravely Second's actual Job system and how cross class skills are handled. Since Bravely series takes great influence from FF3/FF5 job systems and executes it well.

04-26-2016, 05:19 AMHuntingtonI would like that as well, but since SE is still the publisher for this game, I can definitely see a lot of them in how many changes went by going from Default to Second, some of the job changes I'm finding out are much to my dislike, especially the near absolute removal of several jobs save for saving some of their abilities and throwing them onto other jobs and lowering the overall job ceiling for how many abilities you can have. Crossover events would be nice in XIV if they do more things like what someone said above having been done with Lightning Returns, but Nintendo is involved so it's an issue. Cross class is handled magnificently though.Quote:

I want the Charioteer class and it's ability to quad-wield (no joke, it can seriously equip four weapons) and go gilgamesh/ravana on things. :D
