Controversioal Changes to Monk

[Anahlise_Auhn_Giinslai]

Just have a look at DRG. Is there anybody who don´t likes to be that badass dragonrider out there?

Me, right here. >->/ *raises hand* I very much and much serious hate the FFXIV "Dragoon".
It does not even deserve to be referred to as Dragoon, and is just a mere Dragon Lancer... The game-play of Dragon Lancer is fine enough, the Subclass could be a lot worse in design, but the moment I realized that the Subclass is Dragon Lancer, and not Dragoon, I never played it again and I will never play it again; as I felt and still feel much disappointment and hate towards the subclass's aesthetic being Dragon Lancer, instead of Dragoon.

I never complain about it in the forums, though.
A real Dragoon in FFXIV would be absolute not possible, to my disappointment, so there is naught to say about the matter...

That aside, I agree with Dezzmont. And, I both think and feel.. that the aesthetic and identity of a Subclass is just as important, if not more important, than the game-play of the Subclass... The identity and aesthetic should come first, and then the game-play design needs to fit and match the aesthetic
and the identity.

Monk... I feel has a identity crisis, similar to several other Subclasses. Its game-play does not match its identity, is the first and main issue, while the second issue, to me.. seems to be that different people have a different opinion on what the aesthetic is, and how that ties into the identity, while the game-play itself is also a mess and does not fit well...
