Jinko you have just become my new best friend, do it SE, more than 3 of one class/job and they loose their strength in numbers, make it work as you intended

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think the Monk dashed, it looks more like the editor simply sped up the frames to get us immediately into the action instead of waste time watching the characters run there normally. I mean, no ability on the action bar went into cooldown when it happened, and his friends were already waiting there when he arrived.

Or you could just not complain and let other people do content however they want.

Balance is a developer problem, they should be making sure that fights can't be trivialized by stacking a certain class. If it can then that is a viable strategy (hopefully not the only one). Putting in an arbitrary penalty if you aren't running the rainbow coalition of jobs is a pretty lazy fix. As would be giving every class a single necessary group buff, no one said it was easy making a good MMO.

Make every class useful, what players do is their business if you give them the proper tools to work with they will come up with various strategies to accomplish results beyond even the developer's expectations. In this aspect FFXIV has so far not done so great yet. But that is why we are getting jobs and other combat changes.

Also alliance content please.

Doesn't mean I can't have naive hopes that S-E doesn't go the route of every other single MMO : p
SE has in fact shoved new mobs (not exclusivly boss monsters) into content patches in the past ^^

Uh.. Look again.. Action went to cooldown before he dashed... and you can't just "speed one person" without Speeding everything else.. and everything in its entire didn't speed up.

Probably just data for the debug version of the client.

No I don't think that is the case.

1)Notice how everyone else is still moving at the same pace. He is the ONLY one that speeds up.

2)Notice he looks to be moving out as far as he can as to INTENTIONALLY show off the ability. Each time he does it.

Taking into account to that ability it makes since why they didn't take the view of the paladin if they wanted a close up view or a mage to show off more of the environment.

Pretty much. You should never force balance in a party, you just have to balance it well enough that it "influences" people to have diverse parties.

Another thing I noticed watching the video;the lack of BRD songs, I realy hope its just not another spell cast, but an actual intrument/song playing.
