ARR Class & Job Skills Preview

[NoctisUmbra]

Remember how we were provided with early info regarding action revamps in previous patches for both classes and jobs? Wouldn't it be great if we got something similar regarding actions in ARR?

From what we've been hearing, to go with all the changes to the battle system itself, every class is having at least part of their skills redone - with some of them like PGL/MNK, and ARC/BRD getting more significant changes to the way they play. I was hoping we could get some early details regarding what is currently planned as far as the skills go, even if it's a work in progress. After all, there is precedence.

I feel like it would go a long way to tide a lot of us over. I'm sure there are others like me who will spend hours theorizing how the classes and jobs will play based on the preliminary information. It can work towards building hype even more.

So how about it Yoshi-P? Is it really too much to ask, what with Alpha already around the corner?

I'd be happier with zone previews myself

I suspect they're holding some stuff out to be able to make adjustments based on feedback (less damaging to hold back stuff than to change what was previously announced).

But I too can't wait to have some details on jobs, skills and spells.

I figure they're holding back because they're still making adjustments, but that hasn't stopped them before. Like when they announced the job skill descriptions, they were quite different than what we ended up getting upon release.

Yeah, I've tried asking for details on how spells will work in ARR (are they going to continue spliiting elements, have debuffs attached to them, etc ...) in a French thread (Youmukonis quite good at getting exclusive info, not just japanese translations), without success.

When I first saw the thread I got excited.. Misleading titles are misleading XD.

Doh!

I actually try to avoid doing that most of the time. Apologies lol

I guess I'm primarily impatient due to what they said about how MNK was going to change drastically into some combo-centric, crazy DD. Being that I've always considered it my main, I would appreciate even some preliminary info that is subject to change lol

It's cool =), I know we all want to see what ARR is going to be like. I guess I have a lot of patience or I don't really let it bother me and I do other things to fill in the gap :P.

Nah, i prefer having that as surprise same for zones, maybe some nitpick, SE must hold 50% of what they will add so we can notice by ourselves while playing, if they say that some NM's or primals will be there at least leave some unknown to us until release.

I would love to discover content by myself...

Unfortunately secrets don't sell the rerelease of a game with a bad reputation.
