[dev1002] FFXIV Beast Mode

[ClashBlades]

Let's recap:
- Morpher would be a Advanced form of Beastmaster.
- The ability to Morph would be only available to the Job Morpher.
- Morphing would be the Morphers prime means of fighting withing a party OR solo

I completely agree. This is the direction this post needs to take. The idea of having a job/class whose ability is to morph is a good idea. Most of the comments that said this was a bad idea were pertaining to the idea of all classes being able to morph. When you put it as a job specific skill then it makes a lot of sense. Some may like it. Some will not. That is what choosing jobs is all about. I don't enjoy playing casters. That does not mean that casters should not be in the game.

Did people say no to Blue Mage in FFXI? This is very similar with the exception of taking on all aspects of the mob itself. I enjoy seeing classes that have been in the FF series, but people don't know much about. Die hard fans appreciate every bit of the Final Fantasy Series.

I would also like to point out that:

This would also bring light to the fact that the Devs, sometime in the future, would benefit from tailoring all mob skills to be more unique to that mob.

As I think about it now: more mobs in FFXI had unique attributes and attacks than the mobs you see in FFXIV

This would make the game more challenging AND enjoyable in general IMHO

Indeed! This topic had some random trollage for a few pages, but now it seems to be back on rails. Unfortunately the last Q&A said theyhave no plas of adding "another" gatherer class, which means shepherd might be gone for good. So, right now, i guess beastmaster does would be the most logic way of branching such jobs.

And you got a good point. Morpher and Blue mage are pretty similar jobs...and while it's the most asked class at wanted jobs' topic, here people bash the morpher. I think its in part due the rarity of morpher appearing in games so more recent fans actually don't know the job...because in short comparing BLU and morpher is like comparing BLM and RDM...blu has one skill from each monster and morpher, instead, uses the full aspects of a single monster.

Hopefully we will have more constructive posts here since devs does said they might be adding more batches f jobs later on so morpher does have a chance of going live someday! ^^

True very true areeya that is what made the battle very intense and difficult you didn't always know what to expect.

Yes, very good points. We need more unique jobs. Pet jobs in FFXIV are eventual. It may not come today or tomorrow but it will certainly be in the game in the future. Because there is a heavy fan base for Pet Jobs.

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys.
