Relatively large concern about new Healer: Sage

[Raikai]

Per Yoshi-P:

The new healer Sage will start at level 70 and only require one other job at level 70.

Why is this a concern?

That means someone who has never played a healer at all could be thrown in late level content with next to no experience in the role. Imagine being put into a group with said healer. How do you think that is going to go?

Healer is a role that requires you to at least have some idea on what to do or the party will fail.

We saw this many times in the past where people started at lvl 50, didn't read their tooltips and had zero idea how to play their job or their role.

This will do nothing but exacerbate that issue.

I REALLY hope they have some sort of training regimen that is required if you select the job. Some scenario where you have to escape a facility and heal people to do it, otherwise this could potentially be a disaster.

It's a very valid concern, and to a similar degree happens with GNB, even though 60 isn't as forward.

It's a shame Sage won't get a job storyline given they will be back with role quests instead, but at least I think Sages should get some form of intro quests with specific challenge scenarios towards newcome healers.

Being as this is a unique weapon to FFXIV I do think it is a missed opportunity and a shame it will not have a class story.

There will most likely be Lv70-Lv80 job quests for SGE and ???. There are Lv60-Lv70 job quests for DNC and GNB.
