2 Hours / Power Abilities

[Kailok]

I remember Yoshida saying at one point we would be given abilities that were like 2 hours of FFXI, though he had said that due to the nature of the combat system in this game they would more likely not have as long of recast times. (I.E. 30 min)

I was just curious if anyone knows if this is still in the works? And if so, should we expect it to come along with jobs, or will the Classes see abilities such as these in the future as well?

The specific class changes post hasn't gone up yet, but I'm really hoping to see something like this for each class/job in the future. We haven't heard anything about this in a long time, so I'm hoping to hear about the progress of whether or not we can still plan on getting these types of abilities.


TLDR; Are we still getting 2 hours / Long Duration abilities in the future or has this idea been scrubbed?

Yoshida further clarified this a bit and mentioned that these effects would come into place through the combo system, as in grand cooperative combos that you can perform once per fight.

I was skeptical about the OP, but this sounds like it could be fun.

That'd be pretty fun! But it also makes me wonder how that will work with say..Paladin. Perhaps if a PLD finishes the combo of correctly they will temporarily get an Invincible effect or a heavy increase in mitigation/defense.

Thanks for the info~

Don't want really, this isn't FF11 and I would rather it stay that way.

Wow adding cool flashy moves gets a no because ff11 had a "version" of it? man you must hate........ everything in this game because nothing is new....

To be more specific, this is FFXIV with a diferent abilities set up, battle system, and game design, and its not as applicable for those abilities at this time. And he rather it stay that way.

Again. everything has been done before. I can list a million things this game has thats from ff11 (from jobs all the way the way to the SAME races) but i wont.

BTW if this game copied off ff11 a little more it actually be a lot better then it is...

Im all for new things but hating on something because its been done b4 is stupid.

I don't believe this at all, I played 11 for 5 years and besides its content and story this game is better in pretty much every aspect.

The jobs being added are a final fantasy trademark I don't see how that's copying FF11, unless of course you mean FF11 copied its predecessor and in turn FF14 is copying FF11.

They mean basic LS features, party features, lfp, content, AH, etc (granted most of this if finally being adressed after a year, it should have been there to start and would have made a big difference)
