[dev 1032] What's wrong with job/subjob again?

[Lienn]

I love the current system. FFXI no more, please!

People is like a bird that born in a cage here. FFXIV gave players freedom to play the way they want, and still they prefer to be under tremendous gameplay restrictions like was in FFXI. This is not FFXI-2 (and hopefully never will be)...accept the freedom the game give to players, try and have fun! ^^

A lot of us have tried to enjoy this "freedom" and find it bland and tasteless. Thats why you see posts about wanting to change it.

Posts asking to change aren't what people is doing. They're just asking to change...they are asking to change to FFXI or FFT or any other known game...its part of human nature always chosing the old, known option instead of learning about the new one.

Basically there's 2 ways for someone learning something: By accident (you happen to learn part of something and it catch your attention enough for you to search knowledge about that) or when forced to do so.

Its exactly the same here...but due the terrible release players just prefered to utterly reject the game systems instead of giving it a chance of showing its strenght.

I'll be honest...the only point i really think will never work properly in this game is the battle regimen. I believe battle regimen will need a real revamp before it can be used properly in this game....but all the rest is perfectly fine...they just need a few tweaks, that are exactly what dev team is doing.

This game don't need skillchains, subjobs, AH or any other system from FFXI, FFT or any other FF. It does have a very good core system that can support a brand new and unique gameplay. Just give dev team time to finish adjusting it.

And meanwhile, have fun with it ^^ Its a game after all! ^^

I wasn't saying we should change it to FFT's system. But I was using FFT as an example of how you could change the system to bring out more uniqueness in characters.

For the most part I love the armory system. I'm happy with it as is, but I could see how it could be improved. And one of those ways would be to limit which skills can be equipped on which classes.

Though I think also adding Advanced jobs and Class-only skills would go a long way as well.

Speak for yourself, the current system is fine, each job just needs more exclusive abilities, that give them a niche to fullfill within party play. There's no need to do away with the armory system just to give each job a specialized role. For example, speed surge and life surge are polearm-exclusive abilities, meaning that only lancers can use those skills. Likewise, arc has Quick nock, gla has heavy slash/stab, etc. you can make certain weapon skills job exclusives, i.e. skull sunder being able to be used by any job, but skull sunder II being mrd only, you could also add new job-exclusive traits, using mrd again as an example, you could have a trait that enhances steadfast, allowing it to activate faster, or a gla-exclusive trait that minimizes emnity loss when guarding. (think shield mastery)

^this Without this freedom to play, FF has nothing to offer. Sadly, but if I search an old concept game, I can point my finger over 100 or more games.

Yeah I agree with this one, sorry I havn't had a chance to read through all the posts, will do in second. To me, having this sort of freedom to customize your character to what you will it, is awesome. Have any of you never played The Elder Scrolls? I mean, being able to have a healer type, wielding a bow and arrow was awesome! I love that sort of freedom, and I am glad there is now an MMO that gives you that type of game play. Why would anyone want to change it? Just me I guess...and mybe a few others :P
