Final Fantasy 14 --here goes

I will probably get flamed for this but please keep an open mind.

After the recent patch I like the fact that they brought out the job classes but I really think they just need to get rid of the armor system this gladiator discipline and pld Job class is simple a bad idea. it was meant to make it more party oriented or so that is what I read in a few forums but instead as a BLM I lose the ability to cure(yes second wind but it’s pointless for mages) because I am tied to monk *(I will address this later) why can’t that have 4 basic jobs rogue, warrior, mage, cleric that then branch off into different directions (yes like rift and other MMORPG but somehow different because with others you have to create a new guy) and even take it one step further like they did in or have like they did in dragon warrior 7 and I think ff7 tactics have "combination classes" so you can level a mage to 10 or 20 or 30 which ever works then it branches into a tree for example after mage comes Black mage (yes starts back at lvl 1 just like ffxi because we all love to) then you level cleric which turns into white mage then maybe take it further you need to have cleric at lvl 20 and black mage at 20 makes red mage (just a thought) or mixing warrior job to cleric job makes pLD and you can make it so that you have 3 advance jobs create a heroic job all giving new party dynamics and still allowed to change the job at will.

Keep in mind it’s all open minded and just my thoughts but the next part that I know I will be flamed for is everyone that has all lvl 50 jobs I think the best thing they could do is just wipe the servers start fresh at lvl 1 for everyone and everything. I know some people have issues with this but getting 2.0 out is a huge step and when they do everyone will be lvl 50 and no low level people left so when and if they get new people (going to be tough) you won’t be able to level friends because they have everything at 50.

Next materia great Idea but then they took it too far and now you can add up to 5 materia to one item, ok so you’re telling me that a person can put +24 int or more with attk magic pot +30 is going to be better than a weapon or gear designed to be end game (at this time) maybe dumb down the materia just a bit guys.

Im just going to address the materia concern you have

Do you even realize how hard it is to put 5 pieces of materia into any gear? let alone 3?

most people settle for 2 if even that for a reason, and the cost to even get that can be pretty high with failures

I wish I could wipe my DOM/DOW to lvl 1 and start over for 2.0, however the DOH/DOL would cause me and i'm sure others to commit suicide if we had those wiped. Honestly lvl'ing a class/job right now is so fast, I wish I could experience the content at each of the job quest rank fights lvl capped. It feels like they put so much nice work into the job quests yet its just a pushover and an anima pinch at rank 50.

I don't wanna flame you cuz I would want the same
but I think the job system for the most part is going rather smoothly.

We do want to borrow concepts from other mmos
but nobody likes a carbon copy. rift honestly look like a... oh why bother saying it lol.
There is SOOOOO much potential you have yet to see in the job system, just use your imagination

As for the gap in lvls.... oh boy its a difficult problem but fortunately we have multiple classes to level
only the "1%" will have max jobs 50.

Plus materia can seems quite daunting to get into. I have no melds currently ;;

Why is second wind pointless to mages?

[TheVedis]

Why is second wind pointless to mages?

they want to be able to cast it on others is why

[Wolfie]

That's the healer's duty, and Black Mage was engineered to not be a healer. Specialization sort of needs to happen in MMOs.

[Arcell]

This game has a unique structure that honestly works. The classes will eventually branch into multiple jobs, and further when they add more classes (and by extension more jobs).

[Thanos]

(not to also mention everyone getting crafting jobs and gathering jobs to 50 using the old PL system not really again doing what it meant to do is challenge.)

Someone please tell me how you PL your craft and gathering jobs. Did I miss something?

[Tsleuer]

sorry when i mean pointless i mean for some reason its hit or miss doesn't seem to work plus i thin a cure or a drain would be just a tad bit better then a monk ability
