RPGgamer article w/ Yoshida says i110 through questing for new players

Great so I'm guessing they only plan to release only 1 or 2 new Jobs in next expansion.

Hopefully they can balance this change by at least release 1 or 2 new Jobs during X.X era content.

Jobs will probably come piecemeal from now on. Just as Aracanist and Rogue were released individually, so will the future jobs.

3 Jobs at once + new level cap is why DRK/MCH/AST don't have base classes. It's convoluted project management Developer-side forcing so much into a single patch, they won't make that mistake again. How it sounds all considered.

We understand balancing 3 jobs is tough b/c a job in ff comes with story, nps, missions, dialogue....etc... We get it if we can get jobs piece mealed at a steady rate like 2 per year then I think everyone wins

while i wouldn't call it convoluted, it probably was very taxing for the design team to take on developing and integrating three jobs at once, on top of the new enemies, raids, and dungeons.

Well perhaps they should work with a team larger than the five or six people that apparently create FFXIV? This is a big boy MMO now. Maybe it's time SE gave it more than a shoestring budget.

You can bet, the team is WAY bigger than this already. Also, with the massive losses from 1.0, combined with the cost they had to shoulder while developing ARR, shoestring budget is not really the most fitting word if you ask me^^

fixed that for you.

if they had a shoestring budget, they would not have a team entirely dedicated to making new minions. they would have one guy. his name is tim. he only gets to be let out of his box when a new minion is made. for about five minutes.
