Yoshida mentioned something in his convo (after visting event room) ...

As someone said before, we don't need more tank jobs, we need more tank players. You could have 10 tanks and only 5 DPS, the majority of players would still roll DPS.

that's true but that still makes the statement i quoted false. how does one define enough?

All I have to say is when the DRK craze hit, I was enjoying those "Adventurer in need(DPS)" and getting queues in 10 seconds. It didn't last but a few days but man I didn't take it for granted.

Conversely, remember when NIN hit and all the DPS queue times went through the roof? If they do RDM & SAM at the same time, it would be foolish to make them both DPS jobs.

Since SE has already indicated they're leaning toward melee DPS on SAM, I don't think RDM will be DPS. My preference would be to have RDM be heals with melee & ranged DPS options. I'm not really excited by any of the current healing jobs, and I think I'd enjoy RDM more thematically.


On a separate note, did anyone catch the quest NPCs that were dressed like RDM & BLU?
