What is FFXIV trying to BE?

they did tell you..... you just chose to ingore it

the armory system was never about set classes. but more templates.

the only set is under the disipline
hand war land magic

we are given the chance to mix and match or stick to one of those. Pretty much create our own classes insted of a job and sub job what wasn't very customisable.

Kinda like elder scroll games, well at least in morrowind.

I tried Aion from NCsoft. The game was fun, just the community was well
think of the forum, but make it 10 times worst. I got yell at for the most retarted things. Like looking for a legion under lvl 25. I was new to the game and really had no effin Idea on what to do. And no one was helpful.

So what's their philosophy? Play your own roles in a world you can't even change? Freedom to BE what you want, but no freedom to DO what you want?

The whole role-play element is totally undermined by the other 90% of the game that imposes specific roles upon you.

That's my point, the game is rife with design contradictions.

Except I feel lame as any of the classes and none of the skills are very interesting. Here's to hoping they finally announce their plans for new job / battle systems.
