LETTER TO DIRECTOR (Please Read)

[tymora]

FFXI has a flawless battle system. There is very little room for improvement, so why fix what isn’t broken.

Not quite the truth - I did enjoy some fights but some are pretty mundane.
Let's examine Wyrm battles - Leg hugging from start to end.
How about Behemoth fights - Kite it from start to end.

One of the major complaints of FFXI battle system was that it was not engaging enough and here you are stating the opposite?

Lastly, my concerns fall to the issue of implementing a new job system

FFXIV's is more closely based on FFV's where you need to learn the ability using the class before you can use it. While it needs more balancing, the flexibility of combining traits and abilities from all classes is clearly a much superior system than FFXI's sub-job system.

There should not be ANY exception that allows one job to wear another job’s armor.

Not really a problem. Town gear is all and well. Those who insists on wearing the wrong gear to the fight shouldn't be blamed on SE. Is it the car-maker's fault if the driver insists on driving at 150mph and getting into an accident?

Besides, SE is already adding class-exclusive gear so your point is moot.
