    Sounds to me like he has confidence in the quality of his game rather. If there is one thing FF14 arr has impressed me with, it's the huge amount of content released with every major patch (hell even before a major patch at that). This is something that NO other MMO has been able to accomplish. And I for one am very pleased to see Yoshida kept his promise to release classes with patches rather than just expansions.

    For those upset about the lack of MSK... technically when Yoshida first made his comment about releasing more classes he specifically said that he wanted to implement a stealth class first and foremost, as he thought the game severely lacked one. He also said that he felt obligated to release a gun class as well since there is already a guild in the game (didn't seem particularly enthused about it though). It makes sense though to go easy on the class releases for pvp reasons when the class released is the one and only stealth class. Stealth adds a whole new level of complication to pvp after all.

    I'm more interested in his comment about the gun class in the interview. He stated that it would be similar to a mage class.

    "So now, as Yoshida said, they want to start with Rogue instead of a class with guns which will be similar to mage class that uses magic, but he mentioned they did have the plan to introduce in new class with guns or sort of stuff."

    When I thought of a gun class, I suppose I thought it would play rather similar to archer/bard but... this is rather interesting as well Gun Mage?

    I'm pretty sure that change was simply put there to make it easier for people not intimately familiar with Limsa to navigate the city via the aethernet, just like they added which zones the various gates lead to. Furthermore, there isn't a MSK guild there at the moment, so the only thing there is the MRD's guild so it makes sense to name it the MRD's guild. If/when they add MSK, if the guild is also inside Coral Tower, I could easily see them either calling the aethernet node "Coral Tower (Marauder's Guild and Musketeer's Guild)" or "Marauder's Guild and Musketeer's Guild". This is, of course, operating under the assumption that the MSK guild will actually be in Coral Tower instead of a new building entirely (maybe connected to Coral Tower but not in it).

    Looks like someone didn't read it carefully.

    I think it's interesting players are getting upset about certain "promised" content not having a set release date within an MMO. Games within this genre last years. This version of this game isn't even a year old, yet. Let's chill out a little...

    tbh that 'muskateer' guild has been out for more than a year...
    To have that class scrapped after 2-3 years for ARR (Arcanist is totally different from what it was thought to be in 1.0) and then come out with a class that didn't even have a guild in the first place has pissed off more than you can imagine in your 'one year'.

    As Nayto said, it's been a lot longer than one year. It's been four years. It doesn't matter that "this version" of the game is only a year old. What matters is that the Coral Tower is still in game, still houses the Musketeer guild, and we continue to get hints and teases that we may one day see a gun class.

    Then they go and give us a different class entirely that wasn't in the game at all.

    It's insulting.

    I take alot of flak for saying this, but I truly foresee XIV facing hard times yet again. Yoshi can afford to do this due to the lack of competition; MMO wise. However, when that comp finally arrives and ppl move on like in XI............

    Those concerned about MSK Rogue and ninja were introduced via plot point in 2.2 and will be playable in 2.4. 2.3's plot could easily introduce our would be gun class in story and we see it show up in 2.5

    XIV is truly successful because there is no good competition currently. This game has about 1/10th of the endgame content it should have... and they show no signs of adding more relevenat content. They are content with the constant lack of content and release of short lived content.

    The only people who have enough content are those playing 1-3 days a week. or those playing under 2hrs a day.

    Oh and on XI they lost less then 5% of thier population to WoW. IT was the only mmo on the market to not lose hardly anything. But this game has little staying power compaired to XI. It is like an arcade game atm, XIV is nothing more then a side game to spend time after work. It is its biggest weakness.

    hmmmm.... So I kind of figure the Gun class will be like Gun Mage from FFX-2, basically it was a gun user blue mage...
