Question about Job "AF Armor"

[BruceyBruceyBangBang]

I just had a thought that would back up them not having the time to do this. As far as I know, they have been trying to also give AF unique effects.

Touched up on in the live letter. Yoshida said that the developers told him it is extremely difficult for them to animate the WHM hood to toggle up and down and that it might not happen in the end.

Perhaps this project started out too ambitious and then had to be condensed into something more manageable. Multicolored animated gear for this engine actually sounds like too much work. This is another big reason there is a new engine being developed, but that's a different story entirely.

Well, time to bring on the clones. Everyone using the same job will look exactly the same. Not a big deal in the grand scale of things, just have to get used to it.

Edit: The iconic look of certain gear could still be maintained with different color choices but this is the path they're going down. I mean I thought that the shape and silhouette alone would be enough to make it distinguishable. I mean if I'm wearing red Monk gear and someone else is wearing the same Monk gear in blue, you can tell we're both wearing Monk gear. It's still distinguishable as that class/job. It's still a very unique look, just in another color.

Good news.

Won't bother argumenting with the "I should be able to wear what I want, how I want, when I want" people since the complete freedom argument doesn't stand in a game, which by definition has rules and restrictions.

It's not like all the AF gear will be "best in slot" anyway ...

The sky appears to be blue as perceived by the human eye approximatly 42% of the time (varying time percentage with the seasons). This is because the light from the sky is a result of the sunlight scattering.
The sky changes and appear lots of colors, such as red, orange, yellow, pink, purple (at sunrise and sunset) and black (at night).

I use this as an example, because, you mentioned it. True fact of the matter though, the sky is not always blue, it is only blue from the Earths surface. It is blue less the 1/2 the time, dawns and sunrises are various colors and the night sky is black. Am I saying the sky is not blue...NO.....my point is that a person could pick any nuber of colors and make a statement that the sky is that color. You make a link to a statement of assumption attepting to give it a presence of a fact, People make online reports with zero fact every day. Thats my point in this dabate. If the entire world plays more console games then PC games then to pick any specific location and claim they play more console games then PC games, you havn't exactly scored some great miraclious hypothosis.

@ bruce....I never said the majority is or is not FFXI vets. I simply said I do not factually know, there for cannot claim to. You are also claiming to factually know with no real facts.

Never the less, my point was to assume everyone was familiar with AF gear, and to assume everyone considered it iconic to the overal 103+ chain of Final Fantasy titled games was falsly presumptuous. Its the making of assumptions then stating them under the guise of fact, that I take isue with.

This has got to be the most preposterous thing to be stubborn over. You are only saying this to stand firm on the ground and for the sake of not giving another person validation in what they are saying because you're having an argument over the internet.

I see your unknown facts, I suggest a player poll. Just make a thread and have people click like if they played XI and another to click like if they haven't. Which still isn't very accurate since half of the player base are grouped into categories that either don't speak English and don't participate in the head ache of official forums. So, if you want to get REALLY technical you'd just have to use an educated assumption based on what you know.

I'm willing to bet that it will swing to the majority of players in XIV (who are still playing) played XI. This is what makes the argument unnecessary and in need of going back on topic. This is a waste of time.

Can we also get a poll option for the people who played XI but didn't like it so they quit? I'd be in that group >.>
