Twinfinite: Some players were upset that there wouldn’t be any new tank or healer jobs with the launch of Stormblood. What would you say to these players to make them feel more at ease?
Yoshida: You know, [people] who are upset about no tanks or healers being introduced, he [Yoshida] feels that it’s less “oh if you had introduced a tank or healer I would have played it” [and] more “oh the wait queues are going to be longer, the matching is going to be so many DPS waiting!”
