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

[Cairdeas]

It could be because they are not going to go the Talent Tree Path, or a path that restricts players into a specific hole and instead chose a system thats still open but lets the player chose to filter themselves into a role but allows experimentation outside of norms.

I hope thats true... This game is already slowly being labeled as going through the WoW cloning process. SE best shot is enhancing the armory system and not giving it a WoW touch. they need to go the FFXI job/subjob system v2.0 route. Which this(or something similar) would accomplish. In FFXI you were pretty much stuck with one weapon and one subjob(maybe 2?) regardless of options you had. With this type of system it allows you to have those options and not be constrained(forced) to choose one.

You've said your piece like 10 pages ago... it's getting tiresome. Just stop posting in this thread.

Anyone else find it weird that the community reps commented and reported several smaller threads to the devs but nothing on this one? I mean this thread here is huge and probably the most talked about.

So to all community reps out there, why isn't anyone commenting on this issue?

My guess is SE probably still has no idea on what to do for this subject and told the reps to keep it on the low.... but i could be wrong.

This is true regardless of whatever option they go for. They drop the auto-attack bomb and don't give us any more than that? I'd like to know what's on the horizon so we can actually give directed feedback.

Is it THAT huge of a guarded secret?

I don't see how basically saying: "they didn't post here because they're not going to choose your system, and they're instead going to choose something closer to my system" makes any sense when his threads have been ignored by the devs too.

My bet is on them not really wanting player feedback for this matter (it sounded like Yoshida was going over the decision himself, rather than actually asking for feedback), but that's the cynic in me speaking.

but that's the cynic in me speaking.

Sounds optimistic more than anything really.

If he can't develop a good game by himself (the core game), letting us develop the game for him isn't going to help anything. The game will simply be doomed.

Our help will probably be more taken into account once we know the big picture and can focus on criticizing the details, whatever the system ends up being. They will overlook some things and that's what we are here for.

[solracht]

I agree completely, but that's not the way I meant it at all lol.

Was just thinking about how many threads and posts have been made about this subject (probably more than about any other) when they didn't even ask for feedback to begin with, which made me think about everything being ignored.

Wasn't really the best word to use there, would've probably ended up editing it out.

EDIT- To the reply below: Fair enough : p

[Betelgeuzah]

There wouldn't be a devtag for it if they weren't looking for feedback regarding the subject. IMO

Too bad for Kuro if that ends up being the case o_o

It could just be that this system wouldn't fit with the new one...of course a post to that effect would calm some nerves.

On a side note, I am really interested in how the Cairdeas/Kurokikaze rivalry plays out though. Who will be right?! And who's in the cold?! Tune in next week.

AHHH I hate cliffhangers!
