Let me just say...

PART 2: I know about the math and mechanics behind job balancing, I work in IT and i understand complex networking, server load and processing load for things like graphics and characters and inventory and all that. It isn't that hard to do. The thing I think most of us look forward to the most in this kind of game is: 1. new open world areas to explore 2. new jobs. New jobs might be number 1 not number 2. So please in the future make more jobs and areas the priority. With SB its looking like the areas are gonna be A+, but 2 jobs just doesn't cut it (although the two jobs look amazing).

Thanks and keep up the good work!

You can edit your post to bypass the character limitation.

With that outta the way, I think we only got two jobs this go, because of the sheer overhaul to the battle system. It must have been quite the lengthy undertaking... But like you, I ALWAYS WANT MORE of this game. More jobs, more gear, more hairstyles, more story, more! It's so good I cant help it

I agree, and as I said above, my post shouldn't be read as me complaining in a whiny voice or me thinking or feeling like SE sucks or they owe us more or blah blah... It is just me making sure they see that jobs are high on my list and I think a lot of other players too.

It was also stated that adding new tank jobs and healer jobs during Heavensward did not increase the overall tanks or healers; Rather the same healers and tanks before HW switched between these classes and their current. They may be reexamining these classes to see what can entice more DPS players into the healer or tank role.

Really? I am pretty excited for Stormblood, and 2 classes in an expansion is great (most MMO's will give 1). RDM and SAM both look great.

IMO, pretty much the worst thing about Stormblood is how crappy the new areas look, though. I'm not sure if the footage we've seen of everywhere is final yet, though. The water just looks terrible.

Eh your seeing them in a video and stream not in person, live letter areas looked great. I dont see how you think this tbh.

We'll see with the game when it's live, for sure. However, the graphic quality of the environments looked very dated.

Nah, the graphical quality of the new areas had the same textures as the current game. So its at least as good. Looked fantastic at lower fidelity in streams so it can only look better live.

Well, the current graphics look pretty dated too. If you look out at the ocean and mountains down from Idyllshire, for example, it looks like something from a PS2 game. Some things look gorgeous, but there are lots of room for improvements - most notably in large bodies of water (i.e. ocean). As swimming is added, I thought they would have addressed this. It's weird, because water looks great in shallow areas (i.e. streams). There were also issues with mountain textures that plagued Heavensward, that I was hoping they'd upgrade.

The thing I think most of us look forward to the most in this kind of game is: 1. glamour log 2. glamour log.
