I hope this game doesn't follow WoW's expansion routine.

1 new class per expansion... Ugh..

XI had at least two new jobs per expansion and pumped out content like crazy.

Since this game is as much as a WoW clone as you can get nowadays I hope they don't also clone the expansion routine.

"Level up to 60! 1 new class: Musketeer with one new job: Corsair! One new zone! One new dungeon!"

How about no.

Most expansions gave 3 new jobs in XI.

Hell, this game needs more jobs. XI began with 12 and that game was released more than 10 years ago, that's a lot more than this game has. Over three years SE added...... two. Two new jobs. Wow.

XI started with 6 jobs my friend.

It didn't start in the USA.

This has been covered in other posts.

Jobs and Classes are two different things, remember. A job only has a few abilities that add onto the class, which has to make up the other 17 abilities and 11 traits.

I wouldn't be surprise if we only got one, maybe two classes per expansion, but multiple jobs (not just for the new classes, but for already-existing classes).

LOL, not even close.

No it didn't, you started playing on '04 (NA) release or '05 (EU) release, the game was TWO YEARS OLD by the time you first saw it and had already had its first full expansion, Zilart.

Research the history of FFXI and then you'll not be so ignorant about what you're talking about.

Seeing you post this is very, very ironic lol.

I'm talking about the USA release, since you know, we are on the English forums and not the Japanese forums, my friend.

The game came out in 2003 for North America. Research the history of FFXI and then you'll not be so ignorant about what you're talking about.

Here comes Yoshi P Defense Task Force!!!

You can't really do damage control after the original post you've made It's funny seeing to which lengths people will go only so they won't have to admit they were wrong. ARR forums on a Monday morning make my coffee taste better :3

he doesnt def Yoshi P and stop pull that "def yoshi p" card, it´s stupid.

And I have no contribute to this thread because the info of the next patch is in 22/11 (there are some info before but we ll get in more detail this time, I guess), I will not complain or hope or whine about thing I dont know or not even here

I don't think it's so much WoW hating as much as "Don't make a game like WoW if people want to play that they will just play WoW"

That doesn't really work, seeing as what drove me from WoW was their shit lore development (their new expansion is going to blantantly do the temporal paradox thing while entirely pissing on established contenttions of how paradoxes work due to a flimsy "itz ok gaiz itz an altrenat3 un1verce" excuse), and uncalled for class changes (paladins ruined in cataclysm, warrior tanking ruined in MoP simply because they copy-pasted DK active mitigation on ALL tank classes for no reason). And funilly enough, the lore had a bigger hand in me hitting the cancel account button.

At least I can expect SE to put a little more effort in their story. We'll see how ARR is like a couple of years down the line, but I'm at least not getting that feeling of dread I used to every time Blizzard mentioned they had plans to do something to the lore. (then again, we do have a Lightning-centered event going on, but I'm hoping that mimics a bowel movement and simply passes and fades from memory).

I still don't even get what the whole problem is. so, FFXI had more classes. now what? half of them were considered 'inferiour' or only worth something at a certain point (hello red mages!), or they were plain changed into a different role to be worth something (hello ninja! and Red Mages)

do you honestly want that in FFXIV??? don't get me wrong, I love variety, but only when executed well. (though of course the 'worth it' part is largely the community's fault and not directly Square's, they did cater to it)

quality > quantity

This.

I guess SE should have made the game Japan only for a full year AGAIN then before letting you play it?

Then you could have what you wanted on "release"

Then you would be on here complaining you want access (like the PSO2 people are)

Do not think you will ever be happy.

We know the history thank you.
