It's not a bad Idea. The only thing is people would have to cue as their role (dps, support, tank) Or you'd hit groups where no one has tanked before or 0 tanks, 2 healers and 6 dps which could work but man I wouldn't want to be a melee dps or healer with that party.


I've been thinking similar thoughts but going the opposite way. I really hope they add the support class, break groups into 6 man parties with 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 dps and 1 support with a spot open for any role (would help with congestion and regardless of what class you got it wouldn't really hurt the run).

Or keep the four man but change bard, machinist possibly red mage and dancer when they add them to support and have the last spot roll one support or damage dealer.

I do believe FFXIV was rushed. It's a great game, but it does have room to be amazing.
