Job System Timeframe

[Koronos]

Lol that always cracks me up, so to avoid being disappointed later, you're going to just be disappointed now. How about we look at the facts and not make any decisions based on arbitrary speculation;

Here's a link to a thread on this very forum, the tenth letter from Mr. Yoshida http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...805-20-2011%29

The third paragraph final line presents and I quote "Remember, these are our plans until summer 2011!"

Next if you'll scroll down to the Armoury System Changes you'll see included the plans for Jobs and implementation. I should remind you of the first statement "Remember, these are our plans until summer 2011!"

So there it is the only objective evidence on this thread. Rebuttal?

Um...your post wasn't very clear, but I'm assuming you are making a statement about how jobs will be implemented this summer based on that chart. However, nowhere in the letter does it say ANYTHING about job implementation. Here's what we have as far as jobs go:

Establishment of job specifics (Nope)

Job system mechanics (Nope)

Creation of job assets (Nope)

Development of core mechanics for the job system (Nope)

Establish the details of the initial set of jobs and their skills (Nope)

Development of graphical assets for each job such as equipment (Nope)

Cost assessment for job system implementation (Nope)

Determine the attributes of each job (Nope)

Stage by stage implementation of job-specific weapons and armor (Nope)



EDIT:

also looked in the "In Development" section and found only these two items.

[dev1076] Creation of job assets
Development of graphical assets for each job such as equipment

[dev1075] Establishment of job specifics
Establish the details of the initial set of jobs and their skills

Again, nothing to make me think jobs are coming anytime soon.

~BUT~

We still have this to help define party roles better until jobs are released, and to help us enjoy dungeons and whatever Grand Companies content they throw our way.


[dev1074] Reexamination of requirements for setting actions
Implement the default setting of class-specific actions when playing as that class, and define conditions for setting the actions of other classes.
