^ What he said.
Only reason I even mention names of jobs and races is because thats exactly where the problem started. I would put my life on it, that if they just had made this FFXI - 2, with the better graphics, and some new interface and a new world it would have done way better than it did. My point is that they over complicated things from the start which made it undesirable completely. And it all started with naming the jobs and races.

Even though FFXI is old, with new graphics and a new world, I would be head over heals with a new mithra thief with amazing graphics and whole new content to explore. Instead, I have a Miqo'te? Archer thats eventually going to grow a strong desire to sign up for american idol? OK............

If they wanted XI-2, they would have made XI-2. When they make a new numbered iteration, SE tends to explore new design options.

As for the classes being designed poorly, I won't disagree. It is already accepted XIV had many faults. A lot of ambitious ideas that didn't quite work out. I've simply been responding to your arguments along the lines of their names and or staple designs. Not every FF game has to have the classic, traditional jobs. In fact, most numbered iterations do not.

Well conceived and poorly executed, as Rydin said above me, best expresses my feelings for the state of classes before the changes that patches brought.
