You do realize that all of the 'good old jobs from previous Final Fantasy Games' were brand-spanking new at one time, right?

And you also realize that, while Final Fantasy XIV may have similarities with previous Final Fantasy titles, the job of the developers is not to recreate the feel of Final Fantasy III or Final Fantasy XI, right?

The game stands by itself, as every other title in the Final Fantasy genre does.

You can say "I am disappointed" or "I don't care for the new jobs", but "new jobs will only get more ridiculous" isn't a statement of fact. It's your response to the announcement of jobs for which you have little to no interest because ... nostalgia?
