So Yoshi-P just confirmed jobs won't get a big rework in 8.0.

[SyferU]

I read the article again and YoshiP specifically says "People might think of it as an expansion of the system that we have in the game.
So the players who already like the way things are can feel at ease that nothing is going to change for their experience."

An expansion of the system and nothing is changing for people that like the current system, defiantly sound like different specs for jobs.

At this point, I can only assume Yoshi and his crew are going out of their way to ignore our numerous complaints regarding job design. Instead, they are doubling down and will offering the same old shite with a twist of lemon in 8.0.

FFXIV will never improve as long as Yoshi is at the helm and Square Enix isn't going to replace Yoshi...

Light No Fire can't be released soon enough.

It was obvious from the start. According to CBU3's vision, if the content is hard, jobs must be easy. Yoshi-P said no job would be dumbed down in Dawntrail, and we all saw what happened to Black Mage, Monk and Viper (this one lasted a month, being gutted in record time). Their improved encounter design is just DDR on steroids, and smaller hitboxes. I wouldn't expect any major changes until new, fresh minds start developing the jobs and these fights.

"Players who like the current job system can "feel at ease" about the 8.0 changes: "nothing is going to change for their experience"

Players who don't like the current job system:

feel at ease. who !? who gonna feel at ease about squire enix doing nothing fix 14 job design problems.


are YOU SERIOUS this gonna kill the game this gonna make ff14 have no population hope understand that? only ppl gonna play shitstorm of a game. thanks yoshi-p for crushing ppls hopes once again with your bs

I criticize them often, but won't for something that doesn't exist yet lol. This can mean everything and nothing.

I don't wanna get my hopes up for talent trees either, but would like to see them. They were good for PvP back then.
I do not care for balancing around savage and ultimate, never understood raiders that cry when their class did sub5% less dmg than another on average on a level they could never play themselves anyway. Who cares...

[Turtledeluxe]

I can't disagree more and this may be proof a segment of players on the forums cannot read.

Player choice / talent tree / specialization can potentially be a big change.

[Kahnha]

I don't get why anyone would want them to redo the whole thing from the ground up xD

because if they did do sweeping changes a lot of you would feel that the class you enjoyed maining is not the same class anymore. Here is an example of changes square made for the better that people got upset over very recent; BLM faster for faster fights and people were butt hurt that the timers were gone even though that made the class a bit better and the class still has a high skill ceiling and requires still that you remain stationary to do the best dmg, basically what a black mage is and peps say they simplified it you still have to be aware of the fight or you will die, the numbers are still high, you still have to be strategic with your limited mobility.

The only real route for square is to make the combat more responsive make it feel better and try to lessen the server ticks.... (make it similar to the mobile game I guess)
maybe make the older content have more of the Kit so it is not boring.

peps asking for sweeping change today if they got it will be crying for the good old days when they get the changes they were asking for.

On the other side I would argue that the team being as bad as they are with balancing should just step away from it. They did such a poor job with SMN and MCH in the name of balance, SMN before could tank fights why did they get rid of that? stop balancing and make the classes fun
people like being able to break the rules, MCH is a selfish dps but before recent it was the LOWEST on the charts something a selfish dps should never be... why box yourselves into selfish or support?

peps overreacting we'll see what comes over next 2 years if they kill the game fine just play something good like BG3 or silk song Idk lol

[MisterNublet]

"But we are trying to do something new on top of what we already have."

Anything they try will be meaningless if they keep the 2-minute garbage that we've had for three expansions now for the next one.

If that's the case, and it sounds like it might be, this game is going to lose even more players. I for sure wont be back.

I just want casting back mr yoshi p
