Letter from the Producer, XXIV (01/30/2012)

I had some1 in the LS I am in say something about the new jobs can only be used if you are in a party. Now I dont know if this is true or if it is just made up. Honestly though if it is in fact set up that yu can only use the new jobs if you are in a party, I find that counter productive. I hope it isnt that way as I would like the freedom to play whatever class/job I choose.

Now lets not forget that a lot of players have all jobs at level 50, so myself included have no reason to party up other than for the new content (and you know players will have it done in a month maybe month and a half). Granted I havent finished the moogle fight and in all honesty dont really care about it, as it is just another variation of the primal fight/s.

Can anyone confirm this or is it just something some player made up?

Your LS mates are halfway correct. The new jobs are a party-geared setup. That is, they're far more focused on their sole roles than being able to do a lot of different things like classes. Or at least that is the design structure that the devs are going after. However, you are not required to be in a party to change to them at all.

Thankyou very much for the info. LOL I just want to run around in my new AF, I like thm but the AF looks hot.


Now regarding player houseing hopefully if not in the upcoming up date, maybe later, players can actually decorate their house walls with weapons (like a trophy room or something). This would be a nice add to player houseing instead of just tossing everything into a little box. This would also help players that like to collect (horde) items and what not and help with inventory issues some players have. I tend to keep my inventory clean but it would be nice to put up weapons that are rare/ex or U/U that you want to keep for the hell of it.

I dont think it will be something only for parties, but as i see it if you are a black mage maybe you wont be able to equip cure spells at all , only damage spells like aero, fire, thunder, stone, blizzard and their current combos tiers, so as black mage you will be perfect for damage dealing but wont be able to cure anyone or yourself, so for solo content it would be wiser having a class as current than a job.
