Final Fantasy XIV Hot Takes

[ReynTime]

Err some of these make sense, most not so much. MCH is Edgar from FF6, SAM was also in FF6 (Cyan), DRK was in FF4 (Cecil). Sage was created around its weapons and is totally unique, they almost called it Chemist but decided not to so as to not confuse it with Alchemist probably. Reaper was created simply around the idea of a scythe-wielding job because it was in high demand, there's still plenty of room for Necro. RDM is about as close as it can get without having specializations to fill multiple roles or some such. DNC was a support job and still is.

Which leaves AST which definitely has/had a lot of Time Mage stuff and GNB which is a little weird being a tank but it plays like a dps so I guess they just ran out of tank ideas lol.

DRK and SAM aren't any more "Cecil" and "Cyan" than Rogue is "Zidane", which is not at all. They're loosely inspired in classic FF jobs.

MCH has only 2 actions that are a reference to Edgar. XIV is the FF that strays the farthest from what the original jobs are supposed to be like due its simplistic DPS button busywork tunnel vision.

I don't even like mch or Edgar and I know this is false. There is 5
Drill
Chainsaw
Bioblaster
Air anchor
Auto crossbow

Hot take:

Taking your time with a dungeon and completing it in 15 mins is more fun than sprinting like f**king Sonic wall to wall for the sake of completing the dungeon in 13 minutes instead.

Hotter take:

Single pulling tanks have no rights and should have their tank privileges revoked, their tank license suspended, and be forced to attend a 6 week course on how to tank. If they don't use their mitigations and/or spin the boss like a beyblade, they will be buried up to their necks in sand in the Saharan Desert for an entire day in order to repent for their sins.

Healers that don't know how to use anything beyond Cure 1/Physick/Benefic 1/Diagnosis and refuse to use their aoes or even attack should be sent to Guantanamo Bay for their crimes against humanity. Healers that spam Medica 2/Succour and it's equivalents will be sentenced to the salt mines.

DPS that are incapable of following glowing buttons and try to combo single target with aoe skills (looking at you random dragoon that was using uncomboed Chaos Thrust with Sonic Thrust I saw last night) are actually subhuman. They will be abandoned in the Australian wilderness and forced to fend for themselves for an entire week.

/s? Maybe... maybe.

People who unironically say "POGGERS" or any other type of Twitch-speak in-game should be perma-banned.

What about when they say it IRL?

Nothing wrong with Twitch culture...

That a little napalm won't fix.

Another HOT TAKE:

If we ever get something resembling a time mage, it should be a limited job.

[Seiori]

Would like a Cryomancer/ Ice Mage job.
