Late to the BLU Party

[jon041065]

I don't quite understand. People complain FFXIV needs to create new things and shake up the current, repetitive formula. BLU's design may be intending for that, yet it's being complained about before we even really have all of the information/clarifications.

Let it come out and try it before you preemptively get your panties in twists.

1. Not everyone asking for blue mage was also asking for things to be shaken up.
2. Just because it's different doesn't automatically make it good.

There have been very few people on our side saying that they think doing things for the open world and the Carnival content were a waste of time and resources. Most of us have said we have no problems with the Carnival and actually hope it does well and content like it would be expanded or at least a form of it for all jobs. We are against a job having these types of restrictions especially when we think the reasons given for it are very poor. New content is fine but a new job that's in its own little box that is pushed into the corner of the game is bad and will possibly be forgotten as it collects dust. Especially when that new job is as requested as blue mage.

No one said to not use a job for testing, either. If anything, new jobs seems to be one of the things that pulls players in consistently the most in this game.

If it's different, it doesn't automatically make it bad either. Innovation would never happen if that were the case.

That's why you wait for content to come out and try it. Right now, all I see is conflicting information surrounding the class and a lot of people already taking things as the worst possible outcome.

It could have been a bad presentation and they didn't state that it was a testing phase but we are complaining about part of what they did tell us. Specifically, one slide and the reasons given that it has to be that way.



We are against this. The fact is that it could have amazing and challenging solo content but that wouldn't make up for the inability to play the job in current content with our friends. Hopefully that will change.
