I am beyond dissapointed with the job trailer

[Harlot]

In a time like this where final fantasy iş at ıts peak they should have been invested more. Except summoner there is almost near to no diffrence in all other classes. As a black mage main i am so sick of seeing only a one new skill to use it at the end of your fire 4 rotation. Other then that all they dış was to change the aoe fire skill a little bit.

Same goes with every healer. They literally almost recoulered the old dps skill, it almost looks they are the same. And they are not even better, they are worst then how they used to be. Take White mage as an example, looks like they changed the White mage's dps skill a little bit but somehow they still managed to ruin it. Same goes with holy. Holy was literally the biggest reason why i wanted to play White mage but now holy gone for the worst as well.

This whole job action trailer looks like they made those changes in one hour except summoner. Looks like they put all of their effort in summoner. At least the new classes looks good.

But other then that i am beyond dissapointed. I have been waiting for this trailer for months and this is what we get, near to no New skill and recoloured versions of old skins? I think this is the worst job action trailer we got so far. And like i said in a time like this they should have put so much more effort. One of the qualities is final fantasy known for is its big spell animations. They should have lock those New players to the game with glorious spell animations but unfortunatel we got this...

well... people play their job for a reason. most people would have to search a new job if their job just changes completely. and they wouldnt have to add new jobs if the old ones already change to something new

ahahaha like SMN to me... unpopular opinion, but I personally don't like SMN's change in direction into a more traditional caster.. this rework.. sure it looks nice and fancy, but it doesnt feel like a summoner anymore, to me at least.

It never felt like a Summoner in this game at all to begin with. Now it will.

And that's the problem. People with preconceptions from older ff games are drawn to the class because of the name, and people who played the class and enjoyed it's playstyle and niche are both wanting different things for the class. SE caved to one group, without giving an alternative to the people who enjoyed the class that existed. There is now a huge void in the caster jobs.

For me, they almost nailed it, but they removed a huge portion of the reason why I've mained this class for so long. I now no longer have a job that 1, needs to manage dots, 2, has to deal with pet interactions, and 3, doesn't rely on elemental spell aesthetics. I'm glad that the carbuncle is still here, and, in theory, enjoy the gameplay changes from the different "summons," but that's all I've got to look forward to rn, and nothing to fill the void that the removal of my main class has left.

I'm thinking a new DoT class will be added in smn's place. Onmyouji or Oracle. Something like a "Japanese type of Shaman, Magician, Conjurer-like ranged attacker" was considered for stormblood.
With smn being changed so drastically, they might go back to this idea.

I'd love a proper "pet class". I had most fun with the job when we still had a tank Titan. That was not a "final fantasy summoner", and I respect that, but I don't see a reason why there shouldn't be such a job in the game.

To me the changes make the job more like a true summoner where you are summoning the essence of the primals you've defeated along the way. The changes look interesting to me but without knowing how the skills are played and what the actions bar looks like the jury is out on whether I will like the changes. If they are like some of the jobs I had to play as part of the Shadowbringer main quest scenarios that use a single key for progressive skills I probably won't like it. If the skills can be set as individual action buttons I can fire when I want then I will probably like the new stuff though I will miss the DoTs. That being said FFXIV will no longer have a pet style class which the current SMN is more or less. As I like playing pet classes I think this makes for a big hole in a popular MMO job class and could make for some player losses to MMO's that do have pet classes.

everyone has their own opinions so yours is valid ^^

I dont agree, but thats what life is all about.

What are you talking about? Nothing has been taken away. All the big spell animations are still there.
