Yoshi's Comment on Future Job Design - Are Jobs

[SeverianLyonesse]

Unlikely because PVE has the illusion that MOREEEEEE BUTTONS is better.. yet as you said in PVP 9 buttons is all it takes to make a job actually feel unique and have an identity.

Also it tends to be contrary to whatYoshi wants to do.. he wants to bring in players from single player games but is absolutely destroying everything that makes the single player games so great.. unique and diverse jobs is just a part of that.. so the game has little left to offer fans o the single player entries..

fun combat with interssting spells abilities debuffs etc.. NOPE! just whack it till its dead..
diverse jobs that are fun and engaging to play.. NOPE!. all play the exact same..
basic series lore elements like the elemental wheel or enfeebling magicks.. NOPE!

I do wonder if making all content trust-compatible will allow them to worry less about job balance. If your three AI buddies perform pretty consistently, then it doesn't matter as much how balanced your job of choice is, you can still clear content. And then there aren't other players around to complain about your performance.
