Can we take addon classes in more an easy way?

Or maybe people could just get over it and not be outraged over the idea of having to unlock things in a video game.

The potions would be a problem if Squeenix hadn't learned from its mistakes with dark knight, astrologian, and machinist.

And those mistakes would be .. what?

I have no problem with unlocking things

The problem is that what people are being asked to unlock is the main multiplayer aspect of the game, and it is locked behind several dozen hours of boring solo fetch quests. It would be different if you could get through the MSQ with friends, because FFXIV makes for a poor single-player RPG

And those mistakes would be .. what?

People tend to hate how Astrologian is basically a copy of either WHM/SCH depending on which stance they choose. Square Enix also decided to release them hilariously underpowered, making them have a horrible reputation for about a full year.

At the very least, they could have released Astrologian with competitive numbers instead of "lol have two thirds of a whm or a third of a scholar".

Literally every post I've read from you is "get over it". Nothing to contribute, hmm...

Locking them behind HW.

[stardrifter]

I think new jobs should be locked behind hard quests like FFXI so it actually felt like something when you got it unlocked. I understand this is not a popular view on game systems though.

I Really dont understand this now.

For example, you are a new player. You have read about the classes and choosed Astrologian, for example. You began to create a character and suddenly found out ,that you cant be an Astrologian, first you must waste a lot of time on playing by the class you dont like and only then you will be able to take the Astrologian and it will be not even 50 level, only 30. It means, that you must level up 50+30 levels but not 60. It is really stupid

The potions would be a problem if Squeenix hadn't learned from its mistakes with dark knight, astrologian, and machinist. Clearly they have by only requiring you to defeat ultima weapon to unlock red mage and the second class they're releasing.

If what I read is correct from the posts about yesterday's stream, you don't even need to beat Ultima Weapon just A.) Get ONE War or Magic job to 50 and B.) Be able to access the required area...which will be a 2.0 area and thus might be one of the original city-states.

To be fair, it's usually better to release classes undertuned instead of overtuned. Balance is not an easy initial hit to make.

Even better news!
