Yoshi-P: "If you want more engaging content, go play Ultimate"

[Maltothoris]

I think the big thing out of all the stuff that Yoshi P has said over the years that really irked me was this article. https://twinfinite.net/features/ffxi...ers-interview/

In particular this section when I'm sure everyone remembers.

Additionally, Yoshida-san described a scenario where White Mage and Scholar are paired up to heal. Scholar is primarily a barrier healer and lacks the ability to cure to the extent that a White Mage can. As a result, the White Mage is stuck doing most of the heals while the Scholar can DPS away.

God please tell me this is in reference to ARR where this was at least somewhat how the healers worked

Pretty sure he was talking about SB.

You know, the expansion where Cleric Stance was axed and the fairy got nerfed.

Indeed that was ticked me off the most. He's not wrong that it happened. He was wrong about when. Late ARR to Early HW, it was just main healer and the off healer was it was called back then. COme 3.3 or 3.4 though, and that was when groups figured out that both healers splitting the healing and both of them doing dps was a gain and everyone knows the story after that. This interview was during the media tour before Shadowbringers released and he made it sound like this was a heavy thing during StB which it wasn't.

Well I mean it was apparently how thr developer who made SB lilys thought it worked so same thing apparently

I just found the whole thing incredibly funny and sad.

At the end of HW:
"The fairy is too strong, nerf it."

At the end of SB:
"The SCH isn't healing enough."

Fairy healing was too strong? The only time it was actually strong in a good way was during ARR where Embrace under Rouse is slightly more powerful than Physick.

They could have capitalized on it and made the healing part of Adlo and Succor a bit weaker and made the barrier stronger.

Also slapping regen on Sacred Soil is just overkill.

The fairy was actually kind of broken in HW. I managed to sit in Cleric Stance for almost all of SophiaEX because Rouse + Whispering Dawn was just so broken.

It was also very common to run entire dungeons in Cleric Stance on SCH back in HW. And we all know tanks weren't immortal back then.

I expected nerfs to come in SB, I did not expect (nor appreciate) the gutting of the kit that came with those nerfs.

[rawker]

I am one of those SCH from back then. But to be honest, i only had the courage to do so because i know i have a co-healer. And fairies heal that much because fairies also take that much.

It didn't change in EW where there will always be a time a healer can chad his cohealer just because the cohealer's kit is more suited to respond to the situation.
