Machinist class is dead

[EdwinLi]

Ive seen it in another thread and I agree, the devs and yoshi just glance over MCH and act like they dont even want to talk about it in lives and ignore it in content. It honestly feels like they dont care about the job, its players, or how to fix it. Ive mained MCH since HW and honestly if something doesnt change in 7.0, I cant say Ill be a mch main.

I will still main MCH as the game moves forward because I just really enjoy gun job/class unless a new type of Gun job/class is released that is more focused on actually using the Gun weapon instead of technology since skill wise MCH has been moving a bit more on the Tech side slowly each expansion similar to how Ninja been replacing Assassin Job theme skills with more ninjutsu.

However, it is a bit obvious these days that they don't really know where to take Machinist gameplay wise because Gun class/jobs is not a very fantasy style job.

At this point I feel they may have hit a wall with creativity wise for MCH through their current limitation of basing FF14 jobs only on past incarnations of said job from other FF games or trying not to become too Sci-fi with MCH.

With this thought, I think they really just need to go full sci-fi with MCH if they want to get very creative on how it may play. Maybe go full Assault/Blitz from Dungeon Fighter Online if they must....

either way they now have another 10 years to work on it but we can never tell if they will deal with it positively or negatively.
