Seriously man....

So you decided to completely omit the point where on Job-system related information it says "Design and assessment for cost to implement" only and go with your common sense?

Ok, I get it, we all wanted jobs to be implemented asap... Its not going to happen sadly. I will be glad when they are implemented, when ever that is.

I give up.

i know its not gonna happen,lol, thats my point. Also my point is is that it was supposed to happen. You can see i the text it says, Implementation of job quests. WTF do you think that means, lol.

Also to further clarify ill give you a post from Bayohne, "to clarify regarding the "plans for summer 2011" discussion; the items that Yoshida listed are things that we are planning to implement before the end of summer. Hopefully that's clearer!".

I do realize that you are all very committed to this argument and my attempts to sway you with facts are futile, but facts are facts and that is the end of the story.

this is for everyone saying show me were it says implementing job system:
It says implementing job quest which is the job system. You cant have a job quest with no job, duh.

Wouldn't it be funny if quests to unlock jobs do get implemented by the end of the summer (like the letter said), but the Job System itself isn't implemented until later (like the letter said).



Just saying.

lol, all this arguing about if jobs were part of end of summer is pointless if they cant deliver 1.19 by the end of summer, lol, just sayin.

::sigh:: End of September is still summer. And who cares if it ends up a mere week or two after? It's just plain asinine to be that anal about it.

i personally don't care, all i have done is state facts, i have taken no stance on the issue at all.

You still haven't shown me "implementing job system", you've only shown me "job quests" which doesn't have anything to do with the battle system or armoury system. We had Grand Company quests before we had Grand Companies, remember those quests we got elixirs for? We could have quests hinting to the formation of Jobs.

Congestion truly is a problem nowadays, indeed.

That would be the part where I said "from the influx of new players", meaning the ps3 folks. Dick.

Job quests, could be a quest line, do you go to say the LNC guild (if guilds is where you get the quests) and you go through a mini story of say 5 quests to unlock a job, the first 4 are honing you abilities so you (in lore terms) are strong enough to be trained in the way of the job.

If they are doing it this way then they could have 4 job quests for each guild, without having the jobs ready.

Exactly, preliminary groundwork for a system =/= full implementation.

I for one would love some lore based quests about jobs before they are implemented, it gives us somthing to keep our interest.
