Job System Timeframe

[Koronos]

Ok, so ASSUMING that everything in the letter to the producer is going to be implemented by the end of the summer (as in the Autumnal equinox, september 23rd), including everything in the "future tasks" column, I think that the job system will in fact be implemented.

The said column says that job quests will be implemented. It also says further down that job-specific weapons and armor will be implemented, albeit stage-by-stage. It also says that job mechanics will be implemented, as well as determination of stats and other things. Mechanics, job quests, JSE, and stats seems like a pretty complete system to me, but maybe I'm mistaken. It seems pointless to me to add equipment for a job that doesn't exist, or isn't even playable.

EDIT: In before "It's SE, they never do anything that makes sense"

You should have read the entire thread. There is nothing about job related quests in the letter, which i pointed out already. Weapon and armor =/= jobs, I know it doesn't make much sense to add equipment without jobs, but it is SE, again, which I already pointed out. So you weren't in before anything, you just failed to read before you posted.

I missed the part about the job quests, making my argument about this summer invalid. Although I still doubt we see anything in 1.18.

I'm not trying to be rude but, it says quests, weapons, and gear for jobs... and because it doesn't say "implementation of jobs" then we aren't going to see anything in 1.18? Just want to make sure I have that strait because it sounds a lot like blind pessimism.

Yeah I wish I would have seen that quest part, as that was a big portion of my argument. I think it's more than safe to infer that because quests, armor, and weapons are implemented that jobs will be also, so thanks for pointing that out. That was the whole reason I started the thread. Maybe it's blind pessimism that we won't see them in 1.18, but c'mon. Auto-attack, battle system adjustments, no phys level, dungeons, jobs, (companies content?)....all this in a single patch when we haven't had a single major update since release???? I seriously doubt it.

Well, while i don't doubt it I do agree that it is a little confusing (the letter) and if you want to look at the facts super strictly then yes, doubt of implementation is reasonable.

One other thing i want to add is that a lot of players in this thread on both sides of the argument have just been posting flames against he opposing side without precursor. Seriously guys those kinds of comments don't help anything.

If you think jobs are coming this month you are delusional, period.

3. Psychiatry A false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence, especially as a symptom of mental illness: delusions of persecution


Take a look at the table in the last letter again, or my other posts in this thread. Clear evidence that jobs probably will not even be in the game by the end of the summer.

How would they implement this without the job system? Especially since it says stage by stage implementation on the JSE. I'm not seeing any logic behind you're statements; but if you're right, and SE doesn't add jobs in 1.18, that would be just flat out idiotic.

Oh yeah, I don't know if you read the rest of my original post or if you just found that one line so you could throw your argument out again, but I'm clearly not optimistic about this game in the slightest, so I don't know where you're pulling delusional from (your ass, perhaps?).

P.S.
Hey Ichi, I haven't been on in awhile because I've been busy (and to be honest, bored of the game) but I'll be on after 1.18 if you want to let the ls know so they don't kick me out or something.

At this point all it can be is blind pessimism or blind optimism if Jobs will reach patch 1.18, nobody except the dev team really knows for sure.

I agree Ichi, and I apologize Xeno. What I posted was unwarranted. Guess I'll just hope for the best in the next couple of weeks :/

[Isaaru]

Hopefully we will be seeing the patch this coming week, Koronos!

It's all good dude. I'm just hoping for a release next week, since I'll be out of town for two weeks after that. This patch is this last straw for me and I just want to get it over with lol.

Hopefully we will be seeing the patch this coming week, Koronos!

I hope so ^_^
