WoL jobs in trailers

[Kazrah]

Given where we'll most likely going to in 6.0....

....the WoL in the trailer will probably become a Gunbreaker.

[Duskane]

my guess would probably be Ninja

Which artwork was that? I recall every rendition of Renda-Rae (even the Source one) being a bard, which has a similar looking hat, personally.

this i assume but clearly its Nyelbert

The real question is when we going to see a video with WOL fishing then gets attacked by fish he just caught.

[Gemina]

The real question is when will we be able to change jobs mid-combat like the WoL can.

When the mob shatters your weapon.

No thanks. Gear swapping looked ridiculous in FFXI, job switching would be just as bad. Not to mention the issues with gear and level syncing.

What? Gear swapping in FFXI was AWESOME and necessary lol. I've had a few instances in FFXIV where job switching would have been helpful. Both healers are down? some other party members are up? None of the dps can raise? Switch, raise, switch back.

I wonder if that's what's suppose to happen when your durability hits 0 on an item.

I really don't like the "generic lone hero" they use for the trailers. I feel like they should have stuck with the party of adventurers from 1.0, it just makes so much more sense in the context of an MMO. Plus, if the purpose of using the all-default-settings male Hyur preset is to allow as many people as possible to self-insert into the protag's shoes, that's a failure too because we all know what the REAL meowster race is n_~

90% of Hyurs are Limsa gold sellers, prove me wrong XD

And I've never been able to relate to the jobs they've picked so far either. It became especially obvious to me how disconnected I was from the marketing's target demographics during the latest Rising event, when all the clones of my character in job gear from past trailers started appearing around me and my immediate reaction was "oh look, it's all the jobs I don't play". That scene probably had the opposite effect on me than intended.

Having a party of stand-in player characters instead of a single protagonist would at least cast the net a little wider. But... ultimately it doesn't matter to me that much. I'm already playing the game and planning to play the next expansion and however many after that until I burn out and/or get bored soooo there's no real reason to market any trailers at me.
