GLA, MRD, PGL, LNC, ARC, THM, CNJ, SCH makes 8. What happened to SMN?

Maybe it was a typo 'cause otherwise that makes no sense.

I thought Summoner was ARC>SMN? No?

A19: Scholar will be implemented for release as the 9th job! Look for details on scholar at E3!

No, they said a couple of Live letters back that SMN WILL make it in for launch now.

It has been previously confirmed that Summoner will also be available at release.

Snicker, snicker, snicker....book humor!

Wild speculation that Skavian previously recommended that we do not do:

MAYBE SCHOLAR IS A JOB YOU OBTAIN FOR LEVELING ALL OF THE CRAFTING CLASSES TO 30!!! PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT!!

I got really angry when I noticed they skipped #22 on the Q&A thread, so relieved that they went back for it =$

Why would people question summoner not being available at release. Did you not see the art that is on screen at the moment(center). Placed directly on the CE box. 9 jobs total announced... What you see is what you get.

SE is not trying to mind @#$% you.

Your Team has worked hard and the media you present shows it! You all have done your best to keep your players updated and in the loop as much as possible, I appreciate it. When the "makers" take their product, as seriously as you all do... it truly shines to all those that use it. Keep up all the good Work! , I'm thrilled and excited for Part II.

Did I just see a giant XI Crab in the background there?

Face-only emotes! Cool!

SMN & SCH may be mostly buffer/debuffer/crowd control, since that's the role(s) Yoshi-P said was most lacking in v1.

The weapon defines the class. If a weapon could be for 2+ classes, the game would have to ask you each time you equip it, "which class did you want to switch to?". Probably won't happen.

Looking for this one as well... it looks spiffy. Magnesium was awesome in posting some of them up but not the last one (which was actually the Elezen one I was hunting for).

that argument would only work if both summoner and scholar could equip the same kind of books.

they could easily make subclasses of books that were only usable by their specified class. Much like the thm and cnj weapons are functionally identical but named different things. The semantics of it is that they are different items, but they are still basically staves and wands.

god same here it seem like all the elvaan players want that hair o.o i hope not everyone would have it then again there not that many players who going to pick elvaan with male cats being at release lol.

Yeah sorry, he was a bit to fast in changing them over. I am sure that one of the people who are recording it will be able to provide shots for things i missed.

And I think they said that Phase 3 will start on the 14th (after E3)




And it is done. There is a video after of each job's new animations. Showed Sahgains. No Summoner or Scholar

i may have missed this info somewhere, but whatever happen to the new race?

It sounded like he was talking about a weapon for multiple classes (i.e. Vorpal Sword of Vorpaling, Requires: WAR, RDM). That won't really work.

As for the SCH/SMN book thing, yes, they could make any arbitrary classification (grimoire/tome, paperback/hardback) or even no obvious classification. The important thing is the "Requires:" part. "Grimoire A, Requires SCH" and "Grimoire B, Requires SMN" would be perfectly fine, though confusing somewhat.

Q33: Will there be any changes or adjustments to the fighting and running animations for each race and gender?

A33: The running animations will be different. There is a concern that it would take too long to implement everything if we were to make every class and job animation different, so we are thinking to show each race's individuality via emotes and such.

God freaking dammit.

Well it is 1:40 am here in Ozland. Time for bed. Thanks for following along. Please note that my photobucket has limited bandwidth so if you want to use my screenshots elsewhere, you may want to save them and upload toy our own hoster so the images don't get made unavailable :)

Goodnight

They said that to add a new race they would wait for a expansion. It make sense you can have a better story to explain why this race is now in eorzea.
