The ones that literally ran an MMO (FFXI) that paid for most of their games you probably played between 2005-2009? Yep.

I don't know what "cost assessment" means. Is that an assessment of manpower tradeoffs? I'd like to know.

Resources, manpower, money, engine taxing etc etc.

they should be more worried about their bottom line profit and loss margin than their cost assessment. if they are worried about cost they should have taken their time to get things done right the first time. now they have 2 choices. fix it no matter the cost or shut it down.

So they shouldn't calculate how much all of this is going to cost? That doesn't mean they aren't willing to spend. They simply need to know how much they are spending at any given time. Have you ever worked for a company before?

launch with PS3 version roping in players

I can see that happening, and am actually all for it as long as it brings some new life to the game. What really disappoints me about this, though, is that we will might be forced to go through the new dungeons with the same poorly-defined party roles. Hopefully the "reexamination of requirements for setting actions" will coincide with all these upcoming changes, and we end up with some fun, challenging content to hold us over until jobs.

i think that we will see some small changes to the game in 1.8 like more defined roles in party to start the set up for the job system I.E if your a healer then you will be locked out of damageing spells if you a DD then no more cure or protect for you, and if these changes go down well with the masses then the job system wont be fair behind.

[ReidHershel]

No more cure as solo MRD who can't do damage, can't take hits, and now can't heal himself? The class is doomed I say! DooomED!

[Viridiana]

Pretty sure they've said they're only adding restrictions to Jobs, which're intended for party play. For solo play, they're still expecting you to primarily use the more open-ended Classes. So, MRD would still be able to cure himself. Whatever Job MRD unlocks? I doubt it.

[Betelgeuzah]

They'll probably just tone down the cross-class possibilities and make some skills reserved for jobs.

Which will of course lead to a shitstorm here. It makes the game better though, so that's fine.

[Elkwood]

Well the biggest question is going to be the PLD/GLA one, which is going to be better for tanking the open ended GLA with Emulate, Accomplice, Defender II, Cure III, and Sacrifice III attached to it or GLA which is potentially going to be restricted and not have some of said abilities.
