Still Excited for More Limited Jobs?

[Dualgunner]

I'm lukewarm about the idea. If I want to play solo video games I go play solo video games. BLU bored me with its limitations; I didn't hate it enough to be anything more than absolutely nonplussed by the whole affair. The only thing I found really fun about the job was Final Stinging monsters to troll my friend who obsessively raises people.

Next limited job: The Onion Knight

Two set of combo actions (6 actions) with 16 empty slots where you can freely take from all jobs you learned but at 85% potency.

Sure why not, sounds fun

I'd really like to play a transforming job in main combat... Although it's possible they add morpher limited job and then some other new to the final fantasy series transforming main job too, I'm not attached to morpher the job title I'm attached to the idea of transforming/metamorphasis. Perhaps another example of a job that could be advanced, rather than limited.

Well my idea wasn't that BST would literally transform into beasties. More like a beast synergy type of thing that reflects the type of monster being called. Say a crab (which are sorta tanky) gives the master a defensive ability as the result of channeling its energy, and the crab in turn gets... to be charming. I haven't gotten to that part yet.

Though I do like the idea of a job that transform into several monster types. Sounds quite interesting.

No sarcasm I'd be entirely cool with it if we stopped progressing regular jobs and just got a bunch of limited jobs released.

I like limited jobs for the potential they have in the ability to elaborate on and provide better detail for smaller story elements we otherwise wouldn't get with the more major story arcs as well as allowing jobs into the game that would otherwise never see the light of day in FFXIV.

If only Blue Mage did that a bit more effectively, but I suppose it's not too bad for a first attempt.

If you don't want any new jobs and just want limited jobs instead, you'd probably be better off playing a different game. If you want is things that play and progress differently to the games core systems then maybe you don't want to actually play THIS game.

Limited doesn't necessarily mean Solo really... All the "limited" really means is that the class is locked out of the Duty Finder, PvP, Deep Dungeons and content like Eureka. They can still do Dungeons, Trials and Raids. Extreme and Savage included.

They did say it was meant for Solo play, but their iteration of BLU was very terrible example of an idea of "solo"... Specially once it reached 50... Maybe they can learn from BLU and not lock things behind RNG in non-solo content, or just drop the notion that it's a "solo class", and not limit their max level.


There's some more gimmick classes from past FF that could be made into Limited ones, like Beastmaster that has been talked a lot in the thread... As a regular class, it'd just be a physical damage reskin of SMN.

Nah what "limited" means is needlessly strangled and prevented from freely joining dungeons, trials, and raids instead relying on others to carry your arse through such content because you won't be fully developed for regular use.

With a little imagination they could do better than that for beastmaster as a full fledged class...

I would like to hear this "imagination" that makes beastmaster different from a SMN, what would make their pet not effectively to function the same as the Egis and how the Beastmaster itself hitting things wouldn't be similar to SMN.

I literally don't understand this argument. A lot of classes are already effectively the same thing just with different resources and a handful of different mechanics. You give Beastmaster different skills than SMN, give them their own gauge/resource, make the beasts have different abilities than Egis, and so on? Or just make it a pet based Tank.
