So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

[Lewtskie]

Is SAM really "too good to be true" or so important that people might "lose their minds" over it ?
It's...just another job, in the end. It's not like it will overpower every DPS while being more tanky than tanks and healing more than healers...

It is, but it's one so heavily contested for even in the earliest days. Aesthetically it's one that draws enough people in, and whether DPS or Tank people are sure to play. It's not as though Yoshi hasn't wanted it introduced himself, he very much has, though whether it is now or later is something very much still in the air. But he obviously also knows that if he fucks it up, people WILL become increasingly agitated. Game devs have always struggled with players just as passionate.

Exactly why I think that the first idea of not using iconic jobs was good. If you name your jobs Maraudeur or Conjurer, you're not tied to previous incarnations of what WAR and WHM are.

Just look at SMN...people bitch about it all the time even though the job itself is pretty powerful, just because "It's not a real summoner..."
The thing is, Yoshi-P has said in the past that this is FFXIV, not an old FF, and that he's free to do whatever he wants with the jobs.
