So Specialist Recipees are in the game.

How much would you like this game if you had to pick a combat class to specialize in, never having full access to the rest? Being able to do everything with a single character is a major selling point of FFXIV.

I'd call it "every other MMO available".

I still see nothing wrong with it. Sorry omni crafters can't have a strangehold on the market? Oh no, they'll have to buy things from other people and use all that gil that they have....

I didn't say a major selling point of every other MMO available. I said a major selling point of FFXIV. As in, it had a unique approach.

What you see as a stranglehold on the market, I see as people wanting to be rewarded for putting in as little effort as possible.

I barely mess with the market these days. I just like the idea of being able to do everything if I put in enough effort - just like we can do with combat classes. Apparently I was supposed to check in with others first to have fun. My bad.

Uh, we already do specialize in single battle jobs. It's called "pick your main and give him the weekly gears".

And crafters are not already doing that with scrips? There's a difference between gearing up everything and accessing all content, regardless of whether we're talking about crafting classes or combat classes.

No, because the red scripts are for all crafters, unlike battle gear. It don't exist "red script of weaver" or "red script of armorer".

What for battle "pick your main and give him the weekly gears" is, is for crafters "pick your main and give him the specialist scroll". And like you can change your main class and give another class the weekly gears, you can change the specialist status to another crafter.


You can still do everything on the same character, but not everything at the same time.

Yes, because we don't have individual crafting recipe tomes, gear, or weapons to buy with scrips or anything. Oh, wait.. we do.

(sigh) You guys keep offering that "switch specializations" advice like it's as easy as changing hats. Can we at least insert some realism into the spin here?
