This is the most hilarious thing I've read all day.

I’m saying it is VERY likely to still happen. In fact I’m just simply expecting a healer to be revealed later.

When minifilia was first shown in the trailer I expected her to have a class associated with her. This last keynote they showed minifilia as a character that can come with you in the trust system this means she has a class. They avoided saying what class she is. It’s possible she is a class we already know.

But I’m betting she is the new healer class. We might even get teased for it in his upcoming patch we’ll see.

Annnnnd Live letter done, no news or not a single word for healer again. Feels so great to be totally ignored. At least, they could give us an explanation, or tell us that they did not forget us and to be patient. Instead of that, no, nothing.

Right? Not a single "We're sorry, we're still working on balance" or anything. Literally just 30 minutes of silly movie promo that has nothing to do with game content and not a single nod to all the disheartened healers.

―― Since the "Gunbreaker", which is a tank, was announced first, I think there are also many who think that it is a healer next. Please let me know the reason you decided to use the dancer as Range DPS.

Yoshida: It was early decided to add a new job to the tank. I thought that the odd number of jobs for the role of MT and ST was a bad balance. By adding a distinctive weapon in the "Final Fantasy" series, it is easy to appeal to people who have not moved their tentacles to the online "Final Fantasy" until now. And when I thought about where I was going to roll another one, it was the range DPS which was simply only two frames in the candidate until the end.

As for Healer 3 jobs, where I have a hard time balancing, I would like to focus on balancing 3 jobs in 5.0, rather than adding jobs.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but it has been confirmed that a new healer isn't going to happen. As a result of balance concerns.

"―― Since Gunbreaker, which is a tank, was announced first, many thought the next job would be a healer. Please let us know why you decided to make Dancer a ranged DPS.

Yoshi-P: The decision to add another tank was made very early. I felt that the odd number of jobs for the roles of MT and OT was badly balanced. By adding a distinctive "Final Fantasy" weapon to the game, we hoped to appeal to those who have yet to try their hands on the game. And when I thought where we were going for the next one, it was decided to add a ranged DPS, because it only had two options for the role.

As for the healers, it is difficult to balance them, so I would like to focus on balancing the existing jobs in 5.0 before adding new ones."

DPS queues were no slower in Stormblood than ARR or Heavensward, though.... You might want to pick a different warrant?

stop being entitled. you are no one to make demands. besides it takes two years to make a new class they said. we have plenty of melee dps yes but not enough range. who cares if it is still a dps. range players have just as much of a right to get new toys too. dancer not being a healer is bringing the worst out in people (although most healers are the toxic players anyways.)

At the very least, he could have said something in the keynote yesterday, like "For every healers, sorry, it won't be this expansion. I'm sorry, I said last year that we will balance tank/healer, obviously I didn't do my job and need another 2 years, sorry for that." That would have been clear and better, than just answering on a secondary website.

Get lost, you are no one to tell me that. There is 3 healer jobs, 11 DPS job, we have every right (healer) to be mad.
