No tails no care.

Maybe you have some luck and a Roegadyn-Miqo'te race is coming ^^

And about the bunny discussion. I see Viera just as a mentioned example for Mammalian demi-beastmen. Instead of a bunny race they can bring a rat race, too

They would be a good additions for the Miqo'tes ^^

Glad about some of the results. Not glad about Viera, Miqo'te are already filling the "cute animal eared girl" and Elezen fill the "tall slender woman" slot, and I think half breeds would bring more to the table. People want their fanservice though, although I should say 27% voting for Viera means 73% voted for something besides them. I hope they don't actually put Viera in though, besides creating a nightmare continuity-wise it'd show some pandering to the more furry inclined people in the audience, which is never a good direction to go into for a mass market game.

I just want my Redmage mixed with a pet class and I'll be fine.

Remember? "The majority of the playerbase posts on the FFXIV forums, they should listen to our every demands anyone who says otherwise is a troll." Always can count on yoshiP to shut these people up.



Not even close, WHM/CNJ doesn't come even an iota close to what a SCH is. Tell me when WHM/CNJ gains Scan, Helicies, spells to control weather based effects and gives you weather benefits as well as buffing your stats based on weather spells, can enhance every spell they own through job abilities (WHM/CNJ/THM can't) have dual stances that enhances a school of magic (they don't, considering the current stances are limited in nature) oh and has the ability to give you multiple buffs in 1 spell as well as extending duration of everything from buffs to debuffs.

Yeah, SCH is a different job from WHM/CNJ.



No, it would mean when it's balanced, they're still doing balance adjustments.

Sch could be a healer, or DD at the same time, like Red Mage. The abilities are different at the moment, but essentially are the same.

Whm/Cjn in this game can enfeeble, damage deal, and heal. Besides the weapons they will hardly be different. Sch could make their buffs aoe as well, but so could Cjn/Thm when the game was released. Now buffs are generally aoes and Cjn/whm gets Sacred Prism, an aoe to enhancing or healing magic. It's almost Identical in certain ways.

Just saying that they would only have 15 abilities to make Rdm/sch/whm vastly different from each other, including blm in terms of spells that damage. Otherwise we go back to square one where Thm/Cjn were the same class.

Oh my, I can imagine the type of games to be had between the Burmecians and the Miqo'te.

[Isaveron]

Keep talking like your opinion matters.

Oh, he will.

WHM mainly buffs healing and enhancing magic, but not attack, because that is not thier focus, also (I could be wrong here) but thier attack magic stat is not great because thier attack magic is mainly for soloing (how many WHMs nuke endgame) while yes buffs are mainly AoE so thats not such a big thing with SCH, in FFXI at least they were militery tacticions if this carried on into FFXIV there are many ways they could show this role with stratagems etc and access to both CON and THM actions, as well as SCH only actions that are in line with a militery tacticion. There is alot SE can do here.

Best result out of this poll: Only 38% of subscribers ever post on these forums at all.

Can we finally stop using phrases like "everyone wants ____" or "Everyone is tired of ____", or "the majority of people _____" etc, etc.
