Yeah, no, sorry. I’ve been around the block far too many years to buy that.

This games community is nowhere near as bad as WoW. The amount of hate, outright racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and human toxicity in that game that I have seen and experienced is not something that can even remotely be considered synonymous with FFXIV.

Nor do I wish to see this game nor the classes be balanced solely upon it’s end game, as you seem to be espousing.

Yoshida himself said the following: “World first players might have a different perspective to class balance and this might cause some players to distance themselves away from some jobs. However, the goal of balance for us is so that all jobs can be balanced and used and players can have fun with the job they want to play. We want people to explore different jobs because they are different.”


End game is only one facet of their goal of balance. Not all of it, as you seem to be emphasizing. And I will take the Producer/Director of the games words on this matter over your own, any day.
