I'll smile when Black Mage/Thaumaturge is more than thunder combo on bosses, and garbage men for trash mobs. Atleast fire line has some use on trash mobs I guess, too bad just about anyone else can do it too since it's not an exclusive combo, yet I can't have Stonera or Aerora... and fire is worthless on 99.9% of bosses.

Ice is so god damn useless, I don't even use it when I solo, not even if the mob is a hit from death.

All they needed to do was just up the up the spells damage and lower mobs resistance and add the combos before they did that stupid, retarded, unbelievably dumb 15 abiltiy limit. Yes, they need to move abilities to make the role of jobs more define when they came out. They just should have moved all the elemental spells over to black mage

No, they had to split the... it was never a wheel, more like to parallel lines of elements. Now they made it a star with splitting it between Blm/thm and whm/cjn.

Their newest content has absolutely no value to me because of the materia sysem. Their class only gear is dumb, it should be class/job only. Why would I want 2 sets one for blm and one for thm both double melded, when I could just have one for both with only a slightly different stat difference.

Why should I smile when there isn't even a comment on that this will be different in 2.0, versus the other less important things get comments saying 2.0. I hate the carrot on the stick tatic, but for improvements on Disciple of magic there doesn't seem to be anything.

Some people like to play magic classes only, I would be one of them. Yet we only have two, and Yoshi-P said the next classes added would be more disciple of Magic, then turns around and says the next player poll will decide the next class released... 75% of players are melee fights. That's between: Tank, Melee, Healer, Ranged, Spellcaster. The first poll showed most players were melee, so when you have a melee job in the list of new classes what do you thinki 75% is gonna go for?

This thread is now a Jinrya bitching about mages thread... Again.

Considering BLM was shoehorned on THM despite THM having absolutely nothing to do with elemental magic, that needs to be corrected first.

Mr. Yoshida has done wonderous things in such a short time frame, so I'm not trying to cut him down here, but the translations of his letters have made it seem that he uses the word soon quite liberally. Often times taking weeks or months. So given the track record, it's not unreasonable to assume "soon" might mean six or so weeks.

ya and you do understand that JP-->ENG never 100% right so for all we know it right after

How about if we ask please! Would you stop then? At least leapfrog it? A post about Thunder combo, a post with nothing about mages whatsoever, another post about mages sucking. Variety is the spice of life my friend.

I hope the next producer's letter says "class: Arcanist, job: RDM, weapon: Mace. A front line spellcaster that can AoE DoTs and Debuffs. Then you can start being all BLM who?

Re-read this:

"Well, the public release of new info regarding version 2.0 is set to kickoff with this year’s E3 in Los Angeles. We also plan to unveil a brand new promotion site for version 2.0 soon after E3 ends."

FFXIV will be unveiled @ E3 from the way I read this, and I bet, that the next letter released prolly right before E3 or during it, will have a big surprise.

This has been pointed out a thousand times, but if you keep on reading (and also take a look at the current updated roadmap) you will see how they specify that marketing for 2.0 will commence in August and not at E3, which is part of the confusion some of us were hoping a team member could clear up (but I guess not today).

They will Show new Info @ E3, It just won't be the Downpour of info.. their Main attack is at Gamescon and Penny Arcade. But they will show us new Info @ E3 it just won't be a flood of it, and they only choose what they want to show. That's how I read it.

Edit: We know it could mean "anything" Karma exists, idn about you, but I'm going to stay optimistic but Positive about it. =) Also, I'm 99% positive that the site will be Launched on or right after E3. Their Track record on getting websites up for their games are always "Right after" or " on" E3 are always on time.
