XIV EW Job-Gameplay is Terrible... Why?

It's not actually a word. The "ir-" prefix isn't making it a double negative, it just has literally no meaning when attached to "regardless." It's like saying "can you rerepeat what you just said?"

It is a double negative, though. You're basically saying "not without regard," or more literally "not regardless" since the prefix means "not."

But "rerepeat" would have a meaning...you say something once, you repeat it, and then you re-repeat it if you say it a third time...

Watch them simplify things to the point where there are two buttons.

One that is your dps button and the other is your two minute big boom.

To keep things exciting, they change each attack to a random cool animation.

God I hope this is still a joke in the future…

Isn't that basicly what they did to SMN already?

I now know despair after reading this.

re-repeat would feel redundant, if you say something a 3rd time or more, you're just repeating yourself, not re-repeating yourself. Otherwise a 4th time would be re-re-repeating yourself, and so on. Then again, the re- prefix is weird in general, you could record something, and then re-record it for a second take and that doesn't feel as weird, but re-repeat just feels off to me. Even for recording, I probably feel more comfortable saying to record a second take rather than re-record a take. Re-record and re-repeat reads more like stuttering.

Either way, irregardless is redundant language, the -less suffix already does the job of the ir- prefix.

If only English was my 1st Language... Ahh!! ( Table-Flips Dictionary ) It's like double thinking when some words are just really foreign to me and I Google everything just to make sure. Gets worse with Game and Forum Acronyms that I never heard, seen or read XD

At the end of the day, you're on an online forum, as long as you're communicating your point it really doesn't matter because that's all language really is. There's not a gold medal for speaking or writing perfect, grammatically correct English in everyday environments. The only place where it does matter would be in a professional English-related environment, such as writing a thesis, where you should just use "regardless" because there are people who will read "irregardless" and see that as sloppy, or a lack of proper understanding of the language. And I only say this simply because you asked. And I'm sorry if it comes across as digging too much into it. My goal's just to provide a clear answer, but talking about how we talk and correcting people can very easily become a sensitive topic. Your English writing quality overall is exceptional from what I've seen.

It's already due time for the jobs liveletter and the release of the job page. It's really dumb to be quiet about it for so long, just not to anger the playerbase. While this might be true and everything is STC, it's impossible to avoid player complains. Someone will always be angered.

How do you figure? We still don't even know the release date, nor have we gotten the benchmark or any mention of it. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't remember what order stuff like that normally comes out.
