A new way to play!

i don't like change

balance

Unlike those nay-sayers, who constantly say the same arguments, i would be welcoming any kind of improvements like alternative Playstyles or even skilltrees, want to know why?

Because FFXIV has terribly designed Jobs compared to other MMOs (except BLM, who was created probably by a mere accident). They are incredibly basic and "balanced" to the point where SCH/WHM/AST can't even be considered to be what they are in name, but instead, jusr Healer1/Healer2/Healer3 (same goes for tanks btw, and depending on how MNK turns out in Endwalker, dps might suffer the same "balancing" issue) since they are, based on their Skillkit, all the same Job.

So yeah, f the balance for once and give this game finally something fun for its outdated combat-system for once.

Oh, and to those nay-sayers: just because it is "annoying for developers to do stuff and things" shouldn't even be considered a valid argument. FFXIV makes plenty of money with subs/mogstation/ limsa fantasia addicts already (squeenix even used said money to develop FFXVI AND the FFVII remake) so stop selling this game for shorter than it deserves to be.

mind explaining to me your reasoning for that one?

Ah, I thought I explained it with the SMN/SCH example.
The devs expressed that even working with Arcanist going into two classes has lead to lots of unforeseen issues.
The coding dosen't like working with SMN/SCH and that's why they've told us they'll never do another split class like that.
With that in mind, I think asking for something that's so similar but on a much larger scale is probably a pipe dream for 14.
Could they make it work anyway?
Probably.
Will they?
They don't seem interested.

It's not "I dont like change."
It's I literally don't think 14 can support this without an overhaul and don't think we can expect one.
I never even aired my preference on OPs idea lol, I just stated it's probably not in the cards.
Maybe something like that could happen after Yoshi P leaves the helm, but he's boiled cross classing and even choice in role abilities out of the classes so I don't think we can expect him to suddenly reverse course.
