    A Big Thank You to Yoshida and the Eorzea Alliance

    Comments like this is why FFXIV is the best mmorpg

    "F: In what position does it fall in when compared to other DPS jobs?
    Y: It highly depends on how the battle’s progress and party members, so it is hard to say. It is the new job, so we want to make it exciting to use for everyone. However, other companies tend to appeal to new released jobs by overpowering them. Stay assured that this won’t be the case for FFXIV. We will make sure to balance it out with other jobs."

    Thank you for being passionate and being true and honest.

    Share stories about the devs and why you appreciate them. Make it something specific and exciting.

    Well to be fair, the best players are better than the actual testers that SE hire for FF14 so we can come up with better rotations.

    Despite my critical remarks of late, I do appreciate that the devs really are passionate about the game, even if it seems like they're not always given the time or the budget necessary to make some of their more grandiose aspirations a reality. You can tell in interviews and streams and stuff with Yoshi-P that he really is trying to create a game that a lot of people enjoy, despite what probably seem like seas of dissenting feedback from all sides.

    EDIT: on a cynical note though, one could argue that in his bid to avoid the stereotype of "overpowered new class in an MMO", he UNDERtuned DRK/AST/MCH quite a bit at HW launch. Perhaps some of it was players trying to learn the class (I never felt as though AST was as bad as the original doomsayers portended), but looking at the subsequent buffs to MCH and AST at least it's pretty clear that they weren't really being represented for content the way the devs wanted them to be. Cynical, as I said, but I don't think they'll be able to "win" with RDM - even if it comes out wholly average in the grand scheme of things, people will still complain because all new MMO classes are set up with unreasonable amounts of hype around them.

    It may come out like MCH, very underpowered. People will use it regardless

    Definitely a double edged sword, as we saw with the Heavensward jobs. If the new jobs aren't immediately seen as superior to the old jobs, people tend to think they're underpowered. Thankfully, now that folks have gotten used to those jobs, the negative stigma (for the most part) has disappeared.

    Lore hit it square on the nail. Judgement is best reserved until down the line.

    I know brown-nosing is a part of the Hellsguard lore, but I'm a Lalafell.

    I wonder why they don't release strategy guides on how to play your class the best. I mean, don't they want this in the end? As guide heavy as NA is all the time, it'd sure be nice to actually have official answers on this topic. I don't mean stat definitions, I mean like the testers used x rotation and it seemed to work the best kind of guides.

    <- The real reason Yoshi-P stressed watching all the cutscenes.

    Matoya: And that should give you a notion of how sick and tired I was of those spineless wretches of the Forum. All talk and no trousers, that lot.

    Because they want people to figure it out themselves and the community usually does a better job at explaining at how things work or how to use something. That or they encourage everyone to help each other, which is how MMOs should be.
