Job System Timeframe

[Xeno]

I don't think they would add dungeons created for the new battle system if only auto-attack makes it into the game. I don't see why they would waste their time re-balancing a gazillion times because they introduce the basic elements of the game 1 by 1. Almost all of the necessary stuff will be in 1.18, i.e. auto-attack, balancing the classes, adding jobs. If they only add auto-attack and a dungeon this game will fail on so many more levels.

How can you possibly make this statement when none of the information we have says so?

Oh, I don't know... Common sense maybe? If the jobs are apart of the foundation of the new battle system and they aren't releasing all of the core elements they might as well say goodbye to like 4 months of dev time. Do you realize how much rebalancing of the game they would have to do if they implemented the CORE of the game in stages.

If you think jobs are coming this month you are delusional, period.

3. Psychiatry A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness: delusions of persecution


Take a look at the table in the last letter again, or my other posts in this thread. Clear evidence that jobs probably will not even be in the game by the end of the summer.

First sections of the spreadsheet in the letter regards quests.

It says Job Quests, Design of quests to accompany job system, and implementation of jobs.

At the bottom of the Job System changes it clearly says; Creation of job assets, development for graphical assets for each job such as equipment, and stage-by-stage implementation of job specific equipment and weapons.

There's going to be weapons and gear and quests for the jobs but according to the cynics no jobs (I guess that's what they're trying to say). On the other hand if you equip a weapon then you are that job no?

Meh, i guess i need psychiatry.
