My thoughts on Battle Reform {Jobs}

[NefGP]

This is pretty much my problem with these reforms as a whole: They're completely scrapping Komoto's idea to appease the masses, which is a shame when XIV was supposed to be his baby. Had they just listened to us in the first place and not prematurely launched the game, it might have all worked out.

Am I the only one who feels like XIV is losing its soul in this update? I liked the idea of creating your own class. If I wanted to play an MMO with a more traditional job system, I'd play XI - and I do. In fact the only reason I haven't really been on XIV in a while is because XI has been seeing vast improvements. Then, right as my interest in XIV is peaking again, I come back to find this nonsense.

Yes, it's all largely speculation and we'll have to wait and see how it plays out on update day but I just don't feel as confident about XIV as I do XI. Maybe it's the 8 years of their work on XI influencing me because the new devs have only been at it for about a year and have done a fantastic job of things while this game is still struggling just to stay afloat.
