whats up with the pictomancer hate

[Khryseis_Astra]

I believe the concerns are voiced by two majors groups.
You have people hating on Pictomancer because it's not the Green mage they wanted.
You have people who waited on a new caster but the job doesn't fit their tastes.

I don't like Pictomancer but I'm happy for SQEX to make choice that won't try to please everyone.

There’s also the third group, which really loves Pictomancer and wants to play it, but were disappointed by the initial gameplay video and just want it to be as good as it can be.

literally what. the original pictomancer only drew the enemies it was attacking and and was in 8 bit. what are you smoking.. there was nothing there to begin with they built it ALL UP

+1 second this

I haven't outright expressed hate for it, but I do think it sounds pretty cheesy. Just can't get onboard with defeating fearsome enemies with a brush and splashes of paint, but I'm sure some people will enjoy it.

I guess I'm a fourth group, then. This is my first FF game, so I have no attachments to jobs or characters from older titles. Pictomancer as a concept was already on thin ice for me because it just sounds incredibly silly. Then I saw the effects and...it's just way worse than I imagined? The effects look like something out of Splatoon with sounds to match. It seems jarring and out of place, even for FFXIV with its anachronisms and silly things. Good for the people who are excited for it, I know for me, it's going on the pile of jobs I have zero interest in ever playing.

Seems like it should be a limited job.
