tbh even from ff1 rdm didnt have much going for it atleast 11 gave it definition :p

that was much needed.

thank you Kristina :)

Some of the things mentioned are good (new tutorials, and the fact they are trying to make the game more universally acceptable).

But the job system just sounds so crap... FFS. Essentially they are ruining the armory system. Just remove the armory system if you're going to ruin it!

Also, a crafter is now a materia-worker? All gear will be dropped from NMs and all crafters will do is upgrade materia slots?

Lame!

Are they trying to ruin the game even more?

Not really sure how I feel about the multiple class for some jobs thing. Just seems like more trouble than it's worth and unless they redo the weapon system I just don't see it working.

Anyway, if grinding won't be "part of the game" will they finally balance out the EXP curve?

Thank you so much for the effort you put into translating that interview. ^_^/

And wow that sure is interesting, I am so excited to hear about Bard! It was my favourite and main class in FFXI so I'll be so happy to see it in some form in FFXIV.

Interesting stuff, although it does sound like we will be getting 1.18 in a few weeks considering they say there will be multiple announcments in the coming "Weeks".

Pleasing news is pleasing

Of course you dont know how to feel. Thyey dont even know how they feel about it, it's just something they're thinking about. QUIT WORRING ABOUT EVERYTHING

Wow, this is actually a great interview for once. They actually communicated some future plans.
