"Open Style" vs "Rigid Structure" what do you want for the future of FFXIV

[tachikoma]

The idea that you can have co-existing systems is a fine line to walk, I agree they are trying to keep the current classes with the future jobs as specializations allowing you to play both styles. BUT down the line the devs will be faced with developing content for the classes vs jobs and in order to make challenging content the jobs (seem) to be the more powerful party choice. I expect the real end game content to require job usage and as such the people who want open classes will get left to twiddle their thumbs and watch.

Rigid. "Open style" makes for homogeneous, boring classes.

also to this:

What you're really saying is you're a baby and you want to suck on your spoon. You can't play well with others when no one but you defines the roles of your party. Just like a little baby, you're completely helpless to feed yourself your liquified food.

I, however, am gifted enough in imagination to be able to create my own outcome from the choices laid in front of me and I welcome the freedom it gives. Square Enix must not neglect you players who are not having a good time and so they will redesign the game for you, but that doesn't mean I will ever respect your lack of spine.

The openness of this game did correlate with its failure but that doesn't mean it caused its failure. To your lack of spine, lack of imagination, and baby urges, you can add lack of critical thinking.

I have to say i like the style of your posts at least they keep me entertained while I read about how I'm an infant who wants to be spoon fed lol I did "Like" your post so props to that. In response, I am not asking to be spoon fed I'm asking for a world filled with challenges, if I wanted to wafflcopter around in an open world I'd go play some GTA. If I want to play a JRPG with defined class roles and the challenging story driven content it brings then I look toward FF.
