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

It is funny. It makes me angry. As my friend below says you can make rigidness.. so all the whiners are gonna get is to take away my freedom.. and I'm.. A PATRIOT!!!

Do you really consider my posts to be "whining" in nature? I just want the game to be successful and contain entertaining content. A world where everyone can do everything without restriction fosters just that, a million players who all have the exact same skills and abilities nothing is unique.

FFXIV with it's open system has the potential to be much worse than FFXI where elitism is concerned and a lot of people moaned about it in FFXI. In FFXIV with cross classing you will be expected to have those select few skill's/abilities that give your Class the edge when tough endgame roles around and certain builds start shining though. Only this time you might not have to level one sub job you don't want to, you might have to level five to cap just to get those skills to add to your super build just so you aren't considered gimp.

This was what I expected to happen to FFXIV, everyone becoming super builds that all blended together. I'm just glad were getting more rigid elements being built in. I hope others can embrace some of these changes as if nothing else a step in helping populations by offering content for many types of players.
