[dev1033] Class name changes -> Specialization/Talent Trees Into Classic FF Classes

[Punainen]

Well the biggest flaw in this is that suddenly the game will not be solo friendly at all anymore.

At this point I really just want to know what's going on. All speculation washed away leaving only the facts to remain.

Amen. As much as I like to specualte, I'd rather just know what specifically they are going to do. Whether its something I like or not, is irrelevant. If SE comes out and says this is what we are doing with the battle system, and this is what we are doing with classes, etc etc., and your gonna like it, then thats just the way it is. And you know what, I'd be fine with that, because then I could become commited to this game or move on. I'm sure that even the people that dont agree with me on issues would agree with me on this point.

Just like if FFXIV doesnt go in a direction I like after adjustements have been made, I will leave. I am sure someone like Cairdeas would leave as well, if SE took the game in a direction he disliked. The problem is that we don't know, and all we can do is specualte. It would be different if this game was still in its limbo state of having no direction. But now that we have Yoshi-P, I can tell this dude has direction in mind for FFXIV. And I also believe that the Player's Polls only served to solidify his beliefs in what direction the game should take. With that in mind there is no way, that the devs don't have a plan. They know what they are going to implement (if not exactly when), so there is no reason not to tell us what the plan is. By waiting to release this information, all SE is doing is stalling so as not to lose any more customers. The dumb part is that people are still leaving, because they arent seeing results or even details on plans. People just want to know about things like AH or no AH, will jobs replace classes, will classes build up to jobs, will there be limitations put on cross-classing, if not what measures will be in place to ensure class uniqueness, what is the STF doing about bots, what will endgame be like, will content be changed to be overall more challenging, will the game incorporate more party dynamics, what about custom UIs, what about more tweaks to gamepad playability, etc etc etc.
