You’ll probably laugh, because it’s somewhat funny in hindsight.

I was hoping to play a Viera, but I prefer to play a male character that (somewhat) resembles me. (Red hair, blue eyes...obviously the ears and tail aren’t natural...or are they?)

I was looking forward to the addition of a new healer. I wasn’t expecting Dancer to be a healer, honestly. But they kept saying they were adding “multiple new jobs” and, to me, multiple implies more than two. So I thought, “Ooh, maybe we’re getting one of each like in HW!”

So basically the Tokyo Fan Fest announcement was like a Stone IV to the gut.

Then I read an interview with Yoshida either at Tokyo or after where he said they really wanted to focus on bringing the three existing healers onto the same page before adding a new one. As a White Mage main, I was like, “Yay! Maybe I won’t be the useless healer!” I mean, I play the other two healers, but WHM is the OG and just my favorite.

(Side note, I don’t think WHM is the useless healer, but people have said that to me when I mention how it’s my favorite.)

So yeah, then after the media tour came and went and we saw how the healers had been assimilated into basically three White Mages with different skins and effects...I was basically just done with it. I don’t know what to do but shrug and shake my head.

Hope that answers your question.
