I want a player job design contest so baaad

[Deo14]

NGL for as much as I do complain about job design here, almost anytime I read a person's job design idea it's completely awful

Eeh, have you heard about this Geomancer job? It's this like, mage, from 30 years old FF game. It can bypass traps and stuff, which is very relevant in this game. It changes skills depending in what terrain you are. Surely it won't be hard to just rework every single duty and every single map to support this mechanic.

How about Beastmaster? Devs said million times already that pets are nightmare to work with, but both of my braincells are currently used for typing this, so idk.

How about whip job? You use whip to whip your enemies. I swear it's just cool concept, it's not because I'm into BDSM. Oh boi, I hope those evil modders will not use this to do some naughty stuff, hehe, that would be terrible.

Inb4 people will come and defend some/all of these jobs

You summed up the latest forum topics perfectly.
They should let the story and gameplay finally be designed by the knowledgeable forum users; one thing is FOR SURE, the game would not die out and allllllll twitch streamers would stream the wonders of ffxiv instead of any other game, beloved wow streamers that became ffxiv streamers and then again wow streamers would come back to us, no more apocalypse and subs go stonks.

My proposed job is golfer, and for its LB3 it powerdrives a lalafell into the enemy's face. I will offer no further input and will take no questions.

I saw golf and my mind immediately went into Spheda from Dark Cloud 2. I had a love/hate relationship with that mini game.

I'd never want anyone in this playerbase to design a job
even if we have simple job design 60% of the people who complain about it also complained that
ARR,HW,SB was too complex.

so they would end but designing the most derange gameplay you've ever seen just to not even like it.

I think that would be pretty cool, actually. Obviously they shouldn't promise that "the winner will become a new job," but it could be merely something just for fun to see what players can come up with. The devs could see if there are any prominent themes/ideas that a lot of players want, or maybe it would just inspire them to look into fresh ideas outside of their own imaginations.

What I'm saying is... NEKOMANCER. Give us a cat-based mage please, Yoshi-P.

I actually don't have an issue with this from a purely aesthetic perspective: Weapon, AF armor, soulstone design, B stance/V stance, name of job, etc.

It would be really cool to see what the playerbase comes up with, and the different designs for popular jobs such as Geomancer, Puppet Master, Corsair, and so forth.
