52 Minutes of Yoshi-P unleashed :D Here's my interview with our fearless leader

I'm just going to keep my assumption that 1st expansion will happen sometime after 2.5 since 2.3 is the mid point of 2.X contents

I'm expecting 3.0 to be a paid expansion, so not everyone will get it, and thus the 2.x line of updates will continue for as long as universal additions are made (such as hard mode dungeons, housing items, glamour, etc.). So when Yoshi says the expansion is MUCH closer than anyone expects, I think it's going to be released sometime between 2.4 and 2.5. It also explains why they aren't worried about releasing ROG/NIN on its own with no other classes/jobs until 3.0. :3

err, nope, don't hope it. when the 3.0 will come out, even if it's a paid expansion... all the patch after will be 3.x.they will have the generic change added for the people that haven't it. but don't hope them to simply split them team for do two different type of patch. in the mmorpg, when an expansion come out, they simply do like if everybody have it, and leave alone the previous content.
at best i think the 2.5 will be the end of the 2.x line in term of story and will lead us to the 3.0. since the 2.4 will be the end of BC.

You mean warlock - a summoner's key mechanic is their summons in the FF series. We have Warlock

(I get what you were saying though.)

yeah it's true that make a class without attack and only relying on the pet, it's smart. by the way WoW did create nothing mmorpg before add pet class with dot. they had no choice actually with FF14, if you think about it, what sort of attack you will have wanted? he summon a monster for do 1 hit and disappear? or maybe direct damage spell like the blm... (both are the same in terms of mechanic, only the animation it's different)

they have give to the summoner dot for allows him to have time to give order to him pet. remember when you use a spell you can't order your pet. people love to complain simply for the pleasure to complain without think one minute.
