Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX!

[Anapingofness]

What are some of the things you look at when deciding if something should be tweaked for jobs/classes?
If something is decided to be addressed, what are your limits as far as that is concerned?

For example, I think that the class and job quests for MRD and WAR give off a different feel about the job/class than what is actually presented. While doing the class/job quests the player is told about how much carnage the job/class creates and when it comes to owning up to that carnage the job/class falls short since WAR/MRD is a tank class.
Would changing the story for MRD/WAR be something that would be too extensive to change or would you be willing to change it?
Another example- and I will use WAR/MRD again is the visuals versus the reality of the job. WAR/MRD wields a large axe yet their damage output is comically low. In fact, a WHM with Cleric Stance up will out damage a Warrior. Would WAR/MRD damage output compared to other classes be something that you will be willing to address?
Or will you be going the route of Arcanist SMN/SCH where one job branches off into two others so you would have a tank and a DD both coming out of MRD.

That being said, will you be addressing core mechanics of WAR/MRD to make it stand on out or will you keep them the way they are?

WAR/MRD is just one example but I do feel that a lot of the classes in this game need a closer look in terms of their lore, visual appearance versus text appearance, and perhaps mechanics. Some may need a closer examination than others but that's just my two cents.

Thanks for your time!
