Because it's no longer unqiue. Scholar's have emergency tactics, which can make their adloquium heal for more on a crit than even our own criticals (it turns the barrier into a heal, effectively a 900 potency cure). Astrologian has Essential Dignity which can deal a 1000 potency cure to anyone low on HP, and can use regens as we do.Quote:

The interviewer was dumb to use a vague term like "identity". It leaves too many angles open. -

He's out of touch with what can be considered fun. He uses the right words but so far whenever they've taken content from previous Final Fantasy games they've ruined it. I don't even like what he says about Snow Boarding, they will turn it into a grind instead of a fun mini game if given the opportunity.
I think the interviewer asked the wrong question regarding our inventory spaces. Everyone knows where the issues is and the fix from SE that is required. -

The issue about whm identity wasn't the loss of proshell and granite skin, the issue is that the new traits that replaced those are absolute trash. Medica I will never be spammed enough for the enhanced medica to be noticeable and quick stoneskin is absolute trash, PoM+SS spam was enough to cover up the whole raid before phase transitions.
With the whole new dps skills added to whm and them wanting to make white mages "paladins" (note on JP the pld class is named knight), id at least expect a cleric stance trait that increases accuracy to some extent so whm can dps freely on accuracy cap content (like ast/sch can). But nope, we get enhanced medica and some crappy speedy stoneskin that has the same effect as the ones paladins cast. -

And then there's this:
That sounds like it would really help those people who bought those 6 extra retainers.Quote:
Yoshida: ...Although we won’t be able to expand inventory straight away, we want to make it more convenient to use retainers. So you can e.g. access all retainers in certain areas, rather than one by one.
As for housing, when i see examples of housing systems in other games such as Wildstar's housing, i look at XIV's housing system and i think now that ARR is at 3.0 that a Housing 2.0 needs to happen. -

This number doesn't have to be very big in order to be unique for that combination of items; the entire internet's list of addresses can be contained in eight characters.Quote:
