    Terminology ?!?! Change 1.19

    Physical levels will be nixed in patch 1.19, as per popular demand. In light of this change, skill points will be replaced by experience points, and rank renamed level.

    System-wise, MMORPGs are generally more complex than their offline RPG counterparts, and this is evident in the jargon they employ. In implementing the above changes in terminology, we wanted to make it so that at least the core aspects of the game can be easily grasped by anyone. We realize that more established players may find this change unsettling, and would like to apologize and ask for your understanding in advance.


    There explination makes no sence to me. Why is it a popular demand issue? The system did make sence. Weapons that skill up. There was nothing wrong with weapon skill points and physical levels. Earning two differant kinds of points was entertaining. I supose I can get use to going back to the classics and earning one kind of points. I just get more confused on what they are trying to acomplish. Its interesting they mentioned "established players", well if your one of them, your upset as me. Changing definitions is unpleasant. We learn one way, then they force us to ignore the facts, because someone said they didnt want it that way. Im against this change. You may think im silly for getting so frusterated over something that just words. But SE does understand people like me, or they wouldnt have put the apology inside the notation. I dont know what they expect, other than to hope they dont loose too many people for a dumb change like this. I cant fathom how many people would honestly complain about the terms so much that they have to change to a new system of terminology. This whole game is new, and i wonder how many of the active players actually wanted this change. And how many didnt really care.

    I dont expect you to understand im just ranting my furious hate.

    I can only hope less than 50% of the replys are some kind of intilectual responce rather than just nonsensical responces baces upon my rude chatter.

    I emplore you, please be kind, I only state my opinion.

    Actually, I too am kinda upset they are changing the terminology. But Nomenclature is Important.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    tl;dr verison:

    Terminology changes are game breaking.

    I actually prefer EXP/level over SP/rank. I've been waiting for this for quite a while. To each his own I suppose.

    I thought the apology was for the abolishment of physical levels seeing as how people who have multiple 50s by now have their points all set up and after update gotta do them for each class 1 at a time.

    and wtf is a tl;dr?
