8.0 NEW JOB DESIGN WILL SAVE FF14!

8.0 Predictions
1) Changes nobody asked for
2) Changes that JP asked for
3) Feedback from regions outside JP, discarded and ignored.
4) One job overperforming
5) Ranged physical still can't catch a break even with changes
6) Melees are slightly behind, like monk, but don't worry, they will get gigabuffed
7) If there is a new ranged physical it's either weak or it's pictomancer levels of strong

Mao predictings jobs becoming more samey as long as Devs keep doubling down on DDR-style boss fights.

Honestly I've seen more effort put into a CPR class than what's been pumped out at the patch updates, no offense.
If anything needs to be saved, it's everything from the Jobs to the writing. 2025 is off to a pretty destructive start.

They can't even refund us when the game is under maintenance!

People are still coping about 8.0 job design LOL

As i recall, they talked about Job Identity not JoB Change... And, also expect some old Jobs getting the DRG/BLM/MNK treatment.
Meaning : New animations, new VFX, new SFX and some long overdue QoL...

When everyone is expected to do everything equally, no one is allowed to be different.

Please look forward to melee DPS and tanks being ranged jobs, yet melee inexplicably do more DPS than the other DPS roles.

This is what happens when for years the playerbase is like Xeno and worships the ground Yoshi walks on and defends every bad decision the dev team makes.
Defend slop and one day you'll look around and there's nothing but slop.

I'll trust his opinion on raids, because he does it actively as much as I despise the pve systems of 14 being a DDR dance. If the community enjoys it and it has always been a thing. Why would they change it.

On the other hand pvp having more job identity tells you a clear enough tale. Slippidy slop pve job design. They are too lazy to innovate cause it would take time away from ff9 remake and tactics
