Ah, nice!

Not really anything there we didn't already know, other than the release date of the AOE changes...

There's a clarification about the producer letter - "end of summer" means "until the end of september"

Dungeons - the loot rewards will change depending on your clear time, and also depending on what path you decide to take in the dungeon.

Er..I dont know a thing about Japanese, but did I also see there that they were considering adding in a "tutorial" dungeon for the low ranks?

job names announced in there now

Yeah, as part of their plan to make FF14 more newbie-friendly, they are considering putting in a rank 10-18ish dungeon as one of the new tutorials.

Ooooh. See the jobs thing. Must go read!


For example, even when wearing the same armor, the illusionist and his swordsmanship is different valid parameters. So looks the same and appropriate, may be different with the only performance will allow the same recipe.
Jobs that are being implemented with the job system is what has been determined, Knight, Monk, and 白魔 guide, guiding his black magic, dragon knights, minstrels (provisional name of all jobs)Not only job in the future, "class" that will increase itself.
Simple facilities, as a resting place for adventurers, has prepared a mechanism to get public attention to the existing fields. You can place the elements of facilities related to the simple quest, it can be considered originating at the location of the quest itself. Too easy too worried about that a little adventure to go back to their home country.
For raid dungeon, there are several routes clear. The time required to capture, changes or drop out, change the type of compensation by the selected route.


Can anyone tell me what the one in between Monk and Black Mage says >.>? And what the ministrels?

lol what???

Bard is likely going to be the job of Archer.

Paladin and Dragoon are obvious, Monk is a no brainer unless they've done something weird.

White Mage and Black Mage are up in the air until SE clarifies because both could go to CON and THM.

That leaves Marauder and Archer, which one do you think would go with Bard? Archer is the most likely it.

YAY BARDS <3

I love being a buffbot. :3 I wanna be a buffbot, so I can let everyone else do the work while I stand back and sing until I make mobs' heads explode from the sheer awesome!

What Fated said.

Archer is the only likely candidate to get Bard. That..is interesting.

white mage and black mage, from what ive heard, arent CONs adept mostly at elementals and THMs are church goers?
damnit, i guess that means my THM is gonna be a healer /cry

So no job for MRD? >.>

So I figure Maurader is going the DRK route, then? Just calling something a "Warrior" would be kind of a downgrade from a Marauder, honestly. <.<

Looks like I'm leveling my Archer then.

Seems that way. I also just realized there are seven battle classes and only six jobs..
..One of these things is not like the other.

Right, but I thought Cyan was looking at a quote or something that I didn't see yet.

Makes sense now.

:D My apologies. I just felt the need to post my shock without any proper explanation.

Thanks Reinheart, Renta. :)

Some great news overall! :) 1.18 and 1.19 are shaping to be some great, great content and new changes for us.

Can't wait!

That ... has me ... shocked ... too ... lol.. SE sure knows how to drive the comunity insane xD

For real though... I dont think Archer will be a Bard!!.. not that theres anything wrong with BRD but .. I mean.. ARC is a heavy DD class.... xD

Herm..So...So..Either bards get bows or great axes.
What do?

A singing minstrel carrying a two handed axe...

I would probably skip that show.

The translation is most likely not 100% accurate. There is still one "job" missing. So most likely ARC will be Ranger and MRD will be Warrior and i would guess BRD would come from a class not developed yet namely Archanist. The reason I say this is because of the buffing nature that the "hooded figure"/GM had when visiting. Unless..... they don't intend Bard to be a buffer in ffxiv.

Where is evidence that archer would get bard. Why wouldn't it just get ranger, give them more enfeebling arrows blah blah. Bard is mentioned in Uldah's opening cutscene so is songtress. Lore wise I could see bard being another class and Singer/Songtress would be a job off of this. It really doesn't make sense that bard= archer. This is such a logical misstep. If you are leveling archer thinking it will get bard , and it doesn't I will not feel bad for you at all.

I think you are grasping at straws here. The lack of MRD being represented is very odd, but I don't think they are adding a new class and putting in bard as its job.

I, however, would love to be wrong.

Bards Description: "Lull the fiends to a false sense of safety with their songs, while the fiends enjoy the songs, they turn their instruments to skull splitting axes! and leaving no witnesses to their magical concerts. Even though they are called bards, no one seems to recall what their songs are like"

Of course no one remembers! they are dead! with their skulls split open! D:

scary.

This is very perplexing.
Hype-new-class-that-becomes-bard-being-added-in-1.18 go!

Can anyone confirm the validity of the source?

I'm sorry guys but i think this SUCKS... I would rather this info be more discoverable rather then handed too me.. Like with the bestiary idea (I think you started a post on it Jynx.) I think the bestiary idea serves the same purpose except you just need to do a little work for the information... after you have it.. its yours to keep! disappointing.

Rein, if I may make a suggestion? Can you post what you translated on the OP instead of having to serach through all the pages for it?

ill try after wife sleeps. posting all thia from my phone.

So..Im still confused on the lack of Marauder's(and possibly Archer's) job listings.
Man I hope letter XII comes out soon. Or hey..even the patch. Heck. I just want clarification! :)

Unless they're pulling out a new class I need to call BS on that.

Ragnarok Online's class system had you transition from Archer to Bard and it worked quite well so its totally possible and honestly kind of exciting. A bow makes more sense for a bard in my mind than a Great Axe. The exclusion of a 7th job makes the article seem fishy though.

Reinheart, Renta,

Did that article also just say that if you rank up both Conjurer and Thaumaturge, you can unlock RED MAGE? :O

They said 1 class = 1 job for now. If Red Mage is going to come from anything my money is on Fencer

Corrderio,

I know that part, but on the JP Forums, one of the posters made a comment that looks like he's quoting the latest interview, talking about Red Mage. Just wanted to verify if anyone else has seen that part.
