Artifact Armors!

I agree. We are assuming here that the CON and THM that we have currently will be that in which the jobs are built off of. This might not be a sound assumption given they have mentioned rebalancing classes and abilities in the past. In the current setup, it is not clear whether CON would be WHM or BLM. It has both spells! So I am not sure we can be too confident just yet.

I guess at the end of the day I'm just really annoyed with the way they handled splitting the classes up. I think CON should be WHM and BLM and THM should be Scholar (with a nuker, but specializing in Dark/Light magic) and Oracle (a healer, but specializing in damage prevention and absorption rather than outhealing damage.)

That way you can balance a White Mage and an Oracle (Oracle reduce damage, saving the White Mage mana and enmity) as well as Black Mage and Scholar (Scholar uses Dark/Light magic to weaken magic resistance while nuking and Black Mage capitalizes by dealing heavy, solid hits.)

It seems so simple to map this stuff out in ways that would work, it gets frustrating when, understandably, the programming/direction of the game doesn't match what would easily be amazing and interesting.

The cover image featured on Connect-On consists of job concept art. The weapons each job is wielding are things we are planning to implement into the game. In regards to which job is what and what they equip, we'll leave that up to you and your imaginations for the time being.

It seems like the weapon that drew the most attention was the bow... I can tell you that it is in fact a bow that transforms.

I can see that -- fold it a certain way and it could easily become a full string instrument.

I wish you guys wouldn't leave things to our imaginations -- speculation is kind of fun, but mostly its just frustrating and annoying when arguments, repetitive disputes, and trolling start to crop up.

I love the ideas and the discussion, but I think I'd enjoy a lot more getting decisive hints or at least had something confirmed. (Like at least telling us what the deal with CON/THM is at this point...)
