Hey! Aren't you the one who is excited about Jobs? I mean, personally I look forward to ffxiv becoming closer and closer to ffxi, don't you agree?

jobs in 14 are nothing like jobs in 11, you dont even have to lvl them. what we have now with cross classing skills is actually closer to 11 then jobs will be.

Thanks for the reply but, lol I was being sarcastic, and actually yes, right now we have the mix matched cross crap which isn't terrible in thought, but not played out well. Ideally right now there is no reason to be a Tank in this game besides for maybe DH. As a GLA you are a waste of space that another Archer could fill.

Jobs are coming to ffxiv, Pld, Mnk, Blm, Whm, Drg, Brd, (missing one?) which is a good thing. The cross class thing should be kept for soloing although right now I wouldn't see a reason to fully use the new jobs regardless.

My example being:
Me as 37 Gld 3 Archers 1 Con 1 Thm and a Lnc go out to kill Raptors. We get our very short buffs and run rapidly towards the raptors ready to blaze in a furry like no other. The Gla and Lnc leap into the air ready to bring down this vile raptor but as they are about to land a strike, 6 Arrows and a Scourge II whizz pass and decimate the poor raptor. The Gla and Lnc both got max SP but are worthless, they sigh and try again and again.. It happens.

Now granted I could take no Archers, well actually I couldn't because 9/10ths of the populace are indeed archers.

There is a lot of things to look forward to in ffxiv and some major flaws. As much as I love the FF series, XIV will never have what XI did because of the two main things it tries to do. People played XI because there was nothing close to it, people will not play XIV because it is nothing new. The WoW crowd won't and a good portion of my 7 years in ffxi friends wont play it because its too much heading in that general theme. Even though Abyssea and Astral Burns are terrible heaps and I myself don't play ffxi either anymore.

FFxiv is heading in the route of WoW, Rift ect. If i'm going to pay for a MMO like those two, It will be something that does what they do well. FFxiv does not do it well even though its trying.

On topic: Its probably unfinished~

Wait a tick - the OP compared FFXIV's [currently planned] airships to SE's most recent FF MMO (FFXI) in addition to 5 other non-MMO FF titles, and that labels her "another FFXI wannabe"? Really?! That is simply incompatible with any form of logic imaginable.

Please don't breed.
