FFXIV Ultimate Fight

I wish we could play our own characters as "classes" and just keep our characters looks but fight as the class.

If it's like in the Gold Saucer maybe it will be an arcade cabinet like the Snowbording and G-Bike games were in FF7 lol. Could make the Class Guild Leaders/Job NPCs playable to represent the jobs though haha. SE needs to make this actually happen. I'd play the crap out of it if it was well balanced and ran smoothly.

I have just seen the video and maaan, that is epic and I would really love game like this.

Not when you are playing it for over a year and have everything maxed long ago. Obviously new and casual players will always find something to do. But for me all that's left is grinding PvP ranks for all 3 GCs. It would be better if development resources were used in something more... useful than this video.

1) I guarentee you're more casual than those new players that you call casual.
2) I can guarantee you haven't even remotely maxed everything, unless everything is a convenient private club for stuff you like and have done, and everything else doesn't count.
Even if by some miracle you have done every single thing in the game, were a master of the lore, etc, the devs pump out content so quickly that you couldn't even dare claim the game has no cntent.
Although, if you have, by some sorcery, indeed done every single thing in the game, then... shrug, oh my...
3) More... useful should be if you made research first. This video was made by the cinematic part of the development team, which instantly means that nothing more useful than this could be made in place of this, and actually proves you wrong, and reveal your true colours. And the funny thing is, if this was not made by the cinematic team but by the programming and creative teams, it means that it will at some point be actual game content. In which case your agenda loses again.


"Oh wait, the cook in Square-Enix's offices made a chocolate pie today. It would be better if development resources were used in something more... useful than this video."

Seems like a pitch for a doujin fighter. I'd tweak the roster a bit, though. Something like this:

• Minfilia:
  • Linkpearl
    • Summon one of nine base-class adventurerers to fight for you. Effect determined by RNG.
      
  • Special - "The Echo"
    • Restart the current round.
• Thancred:
  • Gladiator
    • Fights with a single dagger.
  • Rogue
    • Pulls out a second dagger to switch fighting styles.
  • Special - "Urgent Business"
    • "Did I mention I have a date?"
    • Leaves the play area until the round timer expires. Forces a draw for that round.
• Y'shtola:
  • Conjurer
  • Special - "Buzzkill"
    • "I'm smarter than you. Just accept it. "
    • Depletes opponent's Limit Break gauge. Deals extra damage to Yda.
      
• Yda:
  • Pugilist
  • Special - "Oblivious"
    • "Specials are supposed to be attacks, right?"
    • Misses the joke completely, dealing massive damage.
• Papalymo:
  • Thaumaturge
  • Special - "Always looking out for her"
    • Gives Yda a major combat bonus
    • No effect in 1v1
• Alphinaud and Alisaie:
  • Bookworm
    • Fights with basic ACN spells, but no pet.
      
  • Special - "My Own Path"
    • Alisaie walks off, leaving Alphinaud alone.
    • Offscreen support effect, varies with Coil completion.
• Yugiri:
  • Ninja
  • Special - "Her True Face"
    • Removes her mask.
    • No other in-game effect.
• Moenbryda
  • Marauder
  • Special - "I Finally Understand"
    • Only useable at exactly 1% HP.
      
    • Instant victory if used in final round, otherwise forfeits match.
• G'raha Tia
  • Archer
  • Special - "The Light of Hope"
    • Awakens G'raha's true potential.
    • ...But mankind isn't ready for it yet. Forfeits match, regardless of score.
      

Any other ideas? I sort of ran out before I got to the GC leaders and Empire characters.
