Widescan, does it belong in FFXIV ?

topic says it all, should ARC get Widescan ?

No, but RANGER should. Since it's in tune with nature and all that jazz.

Yeah I would see it on Ranger if at all since if it was on ARC every classes (if they don't change that) could equip it. If it was on RNG only then it would be a more specialized ability.

+1 for RNG only.

Rng Onry PLZ!

+1 to no widescan plz, unless widescan can be earned by any job/class

BST had widescan too dont forget~

why we have minimaps that tell us where the monsters are that be useless god i hate this minimap

I could see it as a ability that can be set only if a bow is equipped~ and give it like a 2min cool down timer or something, i was only thinking about it b/c looking for some NM's like goblin is annoying to run all the way to west side, to find that its not there, then have to run back to east side...

Oh noes, you didn't seem to realise FFXI had a minimap too, yet BST and RNG had widescan.. why? because it's helpful to find the mobs you need in a large area as opposed to the minimap showing some dots to represent the mobs standing next to you.

Sure, why not? Widescan was nice, though a bit clunky in its implementation in XI. If they can improve upon it and put it in game, I'd say it would be a good addition.

Nothing was worse than scanning for Sand Worm and Dark Ixion. Then again, camping HNM's sucked anyways.

might as wish for blink tanking as well if one classes wanting their advantages >.>

I'd rather get Treasure Hunter instead D: spamming map on/out for widescan is not amusing at all >.<

Yes, but not in XI form.

why dont they give everyone widescan.... so i dont have to lvl arc/rng... because that would be terrible.. the game should be as easy as possible for people who only have 1 hour to play a day.

Yea people seem to think that they need everything handed to them in this game. MMOs are supposed to be hard, I dunno how any of you guys would have survived in FFXI for very long, having to level rng to get widescan, leveling whm to get teles.. It's getting too easy in FFXIV.

Everyone here would have quit the first few days when they could not get from city to the first party camp they would die 50000 times with gobs and everything else and quit. Or they would quit when they have to wait 2+hours to unlock chochobos or maybe quit when they hit LB3 and they have to do a lot of bulls***. There so many thing they would quit for.

I do agree a game MMO should be base of soloing you playing online with others it should be party base like FFXI. But also allow players to party with much low man to make it more fun.

FFXIV need to be hard but not as hard as ffxi that be way to much for players now at days. They could make a game hard without taking as much time as ffxi but still enough to make you enjoy what you get.

and for the love of god lock all gear to rank/class -.- i dislike seeing everyone with there NM gear at level 10 class. When i level up in ffxi i was like i can't wait to get level 20 to get my new set. In ffxiv is like oh i can wear right now who cares i level it when i feel like it ;;.
