THE STATE OF JOB DESIGN IN 2024 FF14

[Oizen]

My problem is less of the moves themselves and more of the issue that we get to use them once every two minutes.
Which is fine but I already had like 3 buttons like that.


The burst windows feel fine, the filler in between is where the game gets stale. So seeing them focus on even more 2m shenanigans is boring.

For those heavily coping for significant jobs changes, 8.0 is very much looking more like big move;
1) Been mentioned a few times by Yoshi P they want deal with the issue by then.
2) It takes them roughly 2-3 years after reviewing feedback to develop massive changes, often sidelining other things for it, graphics update was EWs big project.
3) They dont really want to continue leveling beyond 100 and are looking into other means of progession, examples given by Yoshi P a few times now, ability points, skill trees, skill augments.

Just unsub then?

Just unsub then?

Well i can't speak for others, but I have been. I thought I'd come back to get ready for Dawntrail but now I'm questioning whether i want to buy it at all or just quit for good.

if they completely redone jobs like they did to mch and monk back in the day youd have peopel complainging about how its "not the job we liked anymore"

Yeah because they removed any way player could play the job the way they liked and are now refusing to budge from that position ever. We must all fall in line to the SQUARE ENIX(C)-mandated rotation or else...

[HighlanderClone]

Here I was hoping that we would get to the point where the chain of finishing moves would reach into the double digits.

Red mage is nearly there

[KageTokage]

As the absolute smallest possible bright side of all this, maybe the job changes being so minor will mean we won't have any terrible DPS balance issues on release for once.

I still have PTSD from 5.0 NIN.

Astro:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 600 POTENCY!



Gunbreaker:

Machinist:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 700 POTENCY!



Red Mage:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 520 POTENCY!



Scholar:

Use your 2-min, then click on the same button again for 700 POTENCY!



Monk:

Use your 1-min, then click on the same button again for 1300 POTENCY!



And of course, tons of upgrades to job actions that totally aren't just cosmetic changes!

"Yeah duh, you get 30 more potency, it's not the same anymore!!"

are we going to pretend endwalker didnt do this either? where every job got a big boy finisher that did 50% less remaining damage for all enemies. (chainsaw, primal rend, communio, double down) this is nothing new theyre just building ontop of EW formula. i think really ull need to wait till 8.0 for tangible changes here

>Just wait until skill showcase, it's not going to be that bad

>Just wait until live letter explanation, it's not going to be that bad

>Just wait until tooltips release, it's not going to be that bad

>Just wait until early access, it's not going to be that bad [YOU ARE HERE]

>Just wait until savage balance patch, it's not going to be that bad

>Just wait until next expansion's skill showcase, it's surely going to be better

>Repeat from start

No real substantial changes as usual and yet people will lap it up. Terrible
