Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Maltothoris]

The funny thing is, I don't mind when we have the ignorant people come and say "healers should just heal." It keeps the topic going and its always amusing to see all the evidence that we can post that it's sadly not a possibility for this game.

So the job action trailer estimated release time has been talked about from the reddit discord

In case you're wondering, No. There will be NO Job action trailer because YoshiP has made it very, very clear that it'll be shown in the PLL during Media Tour, which is during MAY 2024. You may stop asking.

Did anyone actually think it was coming with the live letter

As soon as they announced that the release date was late June it became obvious the job action trailer would be in mid may

We haven't even seen the benchmark which does come before the job actions trailer. We've had benchmarks around this early so I was semi expecting it. I think the only thing that feels weird about it not being revealed in March is how tight the window is for 3 very significant pieces of information: benchmark, job actions trailer, and media tour. I was just thinking with 2 month gaps, march, may, then july would fight things comfortably. But I guess the job actions trailer is usually just around 1 month before the media tour.

I’ve been kinda settling to the notion that they would never ever reveal anything related to job actions—or if any, it’ll be without context—until it’s already too late for any meaningful changes to be made until next hotfix/major patch (next expac if your role is green colored).

That's assuming that they even want to make changes in the first place. It very much still looks like Yoshida thinks the current healer design is great and the only problem is that people aren't willing to give it a try.

It's giving...

I know yoshi p has been intentionally cryptic recently but don’t he say something that basically amounted to “the jobs won’t change in 7.0 we aim to change the content, if you want big job changes look to 8.0 at the earliest”

To be honest, that's kind of what I was thinking, also taking the level cap into consideration. At this time, we have Yoshi P's thoughts on making 100 the final level cap as "100" is a very monumental level in Final Fantasy (or at least, level 99), and that after 7.0, there will be alternative methods of progression. That makes me wonder if maybe 8.0 will be a big shift in how the combat system and skill system works, but that's also basically 3 years away as well.

On that thought, I also don't really need perfection from 7.0, nor am I expecting it. I just want it to feel like feedback is being heard and that jobs are going to feel better and more unique, even if only slightly. If I see that there's a genuine attempt at making healers more interesting, I'm absolutely willing to stick around and see how that develops in 8.0. It really depends on what we see of course, but I'm willing to meet halfway if that implies the direction will taking a healthy turn going forward.

If that is the case then sorry, another potentially 3 years of the same gameplay is just not going to cut it. Some of us have waited for 5 years at this point.

If we see a genuine attempt then yes. But if it is "The exact same gameplay as Shadowbringers/Endwalker, but we stapled 2 new skills at the end." then I'm not going to hold my breath for an entire expansion just for a "maybe in 8.0".

I've reached the point where the gameplay is actively detrimental to my enjoyment of everything the game offers.
