What new class and or battle mechanics do you wish 4.0 will bring?

Wish they would utlize the Elemental resistances.

Too much problems for this game with that.

First, imagine having to get several copies of gear with the diferent elements, where would you put those with our current inventory. If resistances were a thing, BLM would be utterly screwed in fights against Ice/Fire enemies. If anything, that silly elemental resistance table has to go, is just trash cluttering the UI. Remove it completely from the game. Along with the status resistances, those should be hidden stats.

But that would be actually interesting. It would mean that the best gear would be encounter based, and so you'd have to think before entering, instead of grinding for one universal set of gear and calling it a day. It'd be like Destiny, where the enemies have solar burn, so you bust out your Gjallarhorn (an incendiary rocket launcher) and avoid fire attacks like hell because they'd one shot you.

As for what I'd want? Yeah let's make elements useful. Also I've noticed that as a DRG, I seem to be "weak" to magic damage. I'd like to see that kind of thing expounded upon. Advantaged and disadvantages based on class. There could be mechanics that I have to approach completely different because of said weakness to magic damage, or there could be an instance where my jumps allow me to reach certain heights or critical points.

Basically make the difference between classes more than just what weapon you use, cause that's all it is now.



Oh and samurai. The only reason I even picked DRG is cause I told my friends I wanted to be like the Red Shogun Ranger and they said DRG was the closest thing.
