[dev1206] The effects of Protect and Shell have been made mutually exclusive

[Lucifer]

If a main concern for you in Final Fantasy XIV comes down to a localization issue, you should jump ship now.

I'm not concerned about this at all.
They have been streamlining this game for quite some time now. I've expressed my concern but the majority is against me.
Is it too much to ask for some FF tradition? Nobody gets hurts and it's just nice to see they have not forgetting their old games.

This is such a bad change I don't know where to begin..

I can't believe they actually made these class changes worse..

[Firon]

This and other details, such as distance not being relevant for an accuracy bonus for archer or spell AoE shape for thaumaturge, are really confusing me. We can only hope this is in preparation for a better system and not a complete removal altogether. However, if it is like monster behaviour that was taken away several months ago and we still don't have it back today, it might take ages before we see the end of it.

Can we be enlightened about these changes?

The casting Aoe seems better now Instead of nuking stuff with a cone effect, nuking with a huge circle aoe effect is much better

Airships, Moogles, Chocobos, FFXI Races, Classic Job Names, Primals (Ifrit, Titan, Leviathan, Garuda, etc.), Magitek Armor, "Materia" system...

Yea, that one ability name definitely tips the scales.

There is nothing about overwriting in the patch notes in the other languages, so I guess it was just mistranslated.

Sadly, no it wasn't mistranslated. It says the exact same thing in Japanese.

[dev1206] プロテス／シェルの効果が同時にかからなくなり、あとからかけた効果が上書きされるようになります。

The effects of Protect and Shell will not be effective at the same time... you know the rest.

[Rutelor]

Ok... can anyone tell me where it follows FF logic?

¿Seriously? ¿You actually think there's something in that category of things? ¿FF logic!!?

And btw, "Cajón" means 'drawer' in Spanish. ¿You have big ones? I have a bunch of silly postings to store...

I have a friend that fell in love with thaumaturge for the cone effect. I, too, was enjoying the different AoE. Cone being more offensively oriented while circle AoE defensive for party. It was combat dynamic, now it's being oversimplified again... they could just have shown the area of effect on the screen instead.

Why deviate now?

it was not really combat dynamic at all the cone shape casting limited some spells like sleep, sometimes the cone effect could not hit everything you needed, also why can't both classes have all 3 line cone and circle Aoe effects.
