How do you feel about Dancer not being added with this expansion?

[Kosmos992k]

SAM was datamined last month, bro

And?

Oh, btw, not your 'bro'.

@OP

I feel fine about not having Dancer yet, if only out of some lingering hope that combat will eventually becomes less narrowly defined in the future, and that Dancer might arrive after or as a vehicle of that change. /shrug

So here's what you do to both speculate the next new job(s), and not hype yourself up for disappointment:

- Pay attention to characters in the story suddenly exhibiting new/surprise abilities, or changing their combat styles entirely (Thancred adapting Yugiri's style back in 2.2, Illberd's use of swords and magic, Alisae and her swordsmanship, etc.)
- Pay close attention to any jobs literally name dropped. Rogue/Ninja, Red Mage, and Samurai were FREQUENTLY mentioned til now.
- Make no assumptions, but instead try to connect the dots for what you see and what's been seen (FYI, Dancer has never been mentioned. . . but Blue Mage has)

You are the one "picking the fight" I just commented on a simple observation.

Actually, that's not true.

Your words were

I mean Yoshi P didn't wear a third shirt, nor was there any hint of a dancer in the trailer. I.E. there was nothing there to give them hopes of a dancer. We all knew that it was going to be RDM and SAM even before they were revealed at the fan fests. Is that too difficult to understand?

That last sentence went beyond an observation and into questioning comprehension. No one's comprehension was in question, just how they *FEEL* about Dancer not being in Stormblood.

It seems some people - including yourself - have some need to prove a point about whether or not expectation of Dancer being included was realistic or not. Why is that exactly? It's completely irrelevant. What is relevant is whether people are elated, disappointed, indifferent or whatever to the fact that dancer was not included, that was the point of the OP, how do people feel about it.

Asking "Is that too difficult to understand?" is neither a simple observation nor a statement of how you feel. To me, it feels that your question comes quite close to suggesting people are not smart enough to understand if they don't agree with you.

Do the feelings of those disappointed by a lack of Dancer cause any problem for you or others? Does it affect anything material?

Personally, I'm disappointed at the lack of inclusion of Dancer, I think Dancer would have been a nice change of pace. I'm happy about the inclusion of Samurai since Yoshi mentioned Kurosawa's Seven Samurai as inspiration, I don't know about Red Mage, but it's aesthetic looks cool. I hope that reading my opinion and feeling about Dancer caused you no harm.

Whoa where did he say this o.o I watched the entire Frankfurt fanfest and did not see that mentioned...i must have missed it ><

it was after the summer event, before the 1st fan fest

Actually, that's not true.

Your words were

No my words were:

Dancer was never hinted at, so I have no clue why players are complaining because it wasn't a new job.

That was my observation.

Then you started in:

Is that too difficult to understand?

Just pointing out facts. Had there been any sort of hint of a dancer class and then we didn't get it, then I can see what the op would have been upset about.

My last comment on the matter, as you seem to like stirring the pot with an argument.

Cool thanks ^^ I assume interviews? I'll do some digging~

Doesn't matter if wasn't hinted or anything, the first trailer gave off an impression that the girl was something other than a Monk because of Dancer-ish clothes and using the clothes as part of attack. Jumping as Featherfoot means nothing, Dancer could cross off monk or whatever, idk.

I was really hoping there would be SAM tank, RDM dps and DNC as healer (dance to aoe heal/buff/etc, whatever).

How can you say this? when we have no clue if it would be tank,dps or healer or anything about how it would work in 14. If you are trying to base it on FFXI version then it's a waste of time as it will probably be completely different. For instance I absolutely loved BLM and SMN in 11 whereas in 14 I can't stand either.

Well...There's always next expansion... >w>()
