    "Leave XIV Alone!" ~ Dragon Age

    After spending so much time having arguments constructively critical discussions on this forum about what "Final Fantasy" entails, I'm surprised at how much Dragon Age is just rubbing my face in it.

    The bard character's best and unique weapons are bows, the Ranger is heavily focused on nature and usually has a pet tank for it while it stabs sh!t in the back with a dagger, and none of the jobs are allowed to faff about and only take care of one thing at a time.

    Does anybody else think that Yoshida-san's interpretation of the Final Fantasy universe within the current generation MMO market might be (DON'T HIT ME!) fixing some of the goofier preconceptions that old-school Final Fantasy (DEAR TWELVE, NOT THE FACE) screwed up a bit in terms of "standard fantasy setting" or "hodgepodge of global traditional fantasy generalities"?
