I can already tell you one of the enemies shown is from FFXI

twelve huh......
Wonder if we'll get thordan style fight in the end

Nice to see hardly any healer changes and lots of dps changes. I guess that’s what happens though when you kick out your only healer tester because they were too good at their job.

I mean a fight involving the twelve. ALL twelve. Like Thordan's knight of the round.
I know we're getting a hraes nidd fight

I liked that in the trailer, Derplander was shown to be some of his different jobs throughout the expansions. He was PLD through most of it, but I saw he was SAM in the role quests, WAR in the Alliance Raid, and DRG in the 2.0 Duty system. Didn't see MNK or DRK, but I'm pretty sure they're in there somewhere.

Who was THAT? I don't remember a healer being kicked out the team.

In an interview, he mentioned that the healer they play tested new dungeons with got too good at healing them, so they needed to replace them for somebody lower skilled to properly see how the dungeons work with lower skilled healers. Paraphrased by me, their previous healer hit Savage level, and they needed a DF level healer.

That's a reasonable reason to swap someone out. Doing QC testing with someone who's in the top 2% of players isn't representative, so having someone less skilled or new to the role is a better option. I'm in R&D and when I need to test something late-game I'll ask someone here who hasn't worked on the project to get an idea how the first time or average user does instead of someone on my team who's very familiar with the thing.
