8.0 job discussion

[PyurBlue]

At this point what I want most are job specs. Bring back the old complicated versions of jobs as different specs allowing the simple and the original forms to coexist. Leave the complex jobs complex and then SE can do what they want with the simple versions without upsetting players. No need to make new gear, animations, or anything like that so it shouldn't be as much work as making new jobs.

I would love if beast master was a actual job instead of being limited. And have puppet master/corsair/geomancer or runefencer jobs.

A gambler would be fun but I don't know what they'd use since it'd be too similar to astrologian
pure rng job

A pure RNG job is a one-way ticket to being locked out of the party finder.

Unfortunately yeah, and the same likely goes for any player customization that people mentioned like skill trees

If it isn't meta, good luck

Design potential in general is completely strangled by the fight design. Every facet of every job has to be compatible with DDR and accelerated DDR and they all have to have comparable skill floors and ceilings, so all we can go with are themes.

For Job Identity for 8.0 in SE/CBU3 "mouth" sound more like new skills animation, VFX and SFX for me.
Yup, i'm pretty sure there will be almost no gameplay change except for some QoL.

Don't raise you hopes too high, the fall risk to be a hard one.

[Ysera_Brynat]

I think they should really delete jobs and make roles now since they dont wanna give jobs personality anymore

[Absurdity]

No more lasers and rockets and what not for me, thank you very much. And send that Blitzball clown to the Cruiserweight arena where he belongs.

After Dawntrail I don't want to see any more sci-fi for at least an entire expansion.
Not in environments, not in jobs and definitely not in outfits.

Only in the tryhard and parsing PF groups.
Most don’t really care what you play as long as you can do the mechanics.

Unpopular opinion probably but jobs and their design shouldn’t be dictated by hard raid content.
That’s how we got things like the 2 min meta, BLM changes or the slaughter of PCT in the first place.
The devs listen way too much to the raiding content creators nowadays.
The last thing I want is them also ghostwriting new jobs.

Not an unpopular opinion going from what I saw you have quite a lot of people behind you beeing sick and tired of gameplay beeing design in favore of content most of us do not care for or activly dislike.
