Like in FF11. Whenever you played your job you always had 1 ability or spell or two that made you say "Hell yeah... I'm a Ranger" And with the right gear and dedication we were able to enhance those abilities 2-10 fold showing off our EPEEN and dedication. It makes you feel geeeeewwd. We also can't forget the Artifact Gear that really made us feel like we were of significance. It made us feel that we were a SAM or a RDM or a PLD.
Ranger: Fck yeah Sidewinder/Slugshot/Barrage
White Mage: Fck yeah Raise 3 / Teleports / Cure V Bomb
Samurai: Fck yeah Tachi: Gekko / Meditate
Red Mage: Fck yeah Convert / Refresh / Unlimited MP
Black Mage: "BOOM BABY! Did you see that spell animation?!?! Fck yeah!" / Massive damage
Dragoon: Fck yeah Pet Dragon / Jumps / Penta Thrust flying objects
I just really hope that they can bring that feeling back into 14. I also loved how you developed a reputations based on your gear achievements in game. Even though you were a Samurai just like 500 other people, but you were the SAM who had the Hagun and +120STR and did the most damage on Tachi:Gekko. People always bowed down to you and wanted you in their parties / raids / and used you for comparison. I miss things like that D:
