There will be those who view any spell level changes, where a lower than "original level" is granted the use of a certain spell as being "a slap in the face". To be honest, people should just consider that this game isn't done.. Its not in final form, so they shouldn't take it personally, or get so upset about them shuffling things around, especially when its been advertised that shuffling was going to happen. The "hard work" that has been done so far has been on grace and borrowed time really as none of us have paid a monthly subscription fee yet.

As a main whitemage who spent a great amount of time running around raising people in FFXI, I don't view this as an issue at all. The level 38's won't really lose anything except having a few less people making demands on their time.

The original level 38 will get the higher level of raise, and level 50 gets one even better than that one, which will still be the ones that people would rather have anyway. That and both the improved spells are exclusive to the conjurer as the main class which means people won't be able to be pugilists that can cast raise II.

Breathe people, it will be fine.
