Pictomancer is absurd

What a dumb idea. This crap should be like a blue mage; it's absolutely silly trash.
Come on Square.

And?

I think Reaper is silly trash.

Fighting with a scythe? Really? And so dark and evil and "cool".

When we can have an absurd job like Reaper then we also can have Pictomancer.

It's not 'silly', it's actually based on Relm's abilities from FFVI (just like how VPR is based on Zidane's abilities from FFIX). And speaking as an artist myself it's definetely an interesting mage concept.

Not everything has to be grimdark or edgy.

tbf, just because its based on someones abilities in another ff game doesnt mean its good.

i dont like it either, but in a world of different kinds of magics like ff14 its not too weird i guess

Picto just stings me because IIRC it was used on ONE character (that I doubt many people used much) in ONE game, and she really didn't have anything that a blue mage couldn't do. It's like sticking the finger to blue mage and saying "sorry, we can't work you into a proper job. Instead, let's bring back the walmart version of you and make IT a proper job"

Also, Picto being chosen over GEO kinda had me baffled. Every bit of setup GEO needed to be introduced is already somewhere in the game, and it's been more prominent throughout the series as a whole. I (probably foolishly) got myself excited to get back to using the elements and ringing those handbells from FF11, so I guess I've got only my expectations to blame.

Whatever. I'll probably end up leveling Picto anyway since I level everything. Whether I actually play it or not, I guess I'll know when it comes out. I just hope it has a few cast times.

This is literally my opinion on reaper lmao.

You’re playing a game with moogles, catfish who get drunk off tea, and moon rabbits who spend all their time clubbing and eating carrots but this is silly?

Hope you find some enjoyment in PIC once it's released.

While it may not be like you or the original thread creator wanted.

Many others wanted it.

Don't paint the fact that some folk dislike limited jobs as a reason for one to exist and the other not.

_______________

Me personally, the only thing I dislike is how the colors look ingame. I'll come to bear it, though I would of liked more Metallic/Glow like in the Trailer, And/Or Caligraphy Paint/Ink.

I honestly think Picto is more based on Griseo from Honkai Impact 3rd. But hey, Final Fantasy 6 had it first!

Because Runefencer would have been so much more realistic, right?
