Pictomancer is absurd

[Truen]

What a dumb idea. This crap should be like a blue mage; it's absolutely silly trash.
Come on Square.

And?

I think Reaper is silly trash.

Fighting with a scythe? Really? And so dark and evil and "cool".

When we can have an absurd job like Reaper then we also can have Pictomancer.

Reaper is the real DRK, at least for us FF11 vets.

Oh please. Reaper is far more believable than Picto. It even has lore tied to the void which is something established since ARR.

Just because you dont like edgy jobs as a personal preference. Doesn't make them absurd or silly trash within the world of FF14.

i will continue to upgrade my characters jobs gear and wait to the new content goes live then play and decide how these new jobs are and don't care about these hate baiting trolls who pick a fight with everything on these forums

It's not 'silly', it's actually based on Relm's abilities from FFVI (just like how VPR is based on Zidane's abilities from FFIX). And speaking as an artist myself it's definetely an interesting mage concept.

Not everything has to be grimdark or edgy.

tbf, just because its based on someones abilities in another ff game doesnt mean its good.

i dont like it either, but in a world of different kinds of magics like ff14 its not too weird i guess

Picto just stings me because IIRC it was used on ONE character (that I doubt many people used much) in ONE game, and she really didn't have anything that a blue mage couldn't do. It's like sticking the finger to blue mage and saying "sorry, we can't work you into a proper job. Instead, let's bring back the walmart version of you and make IT a proper job"

Also, Picto being chosen over GEO kinda had me baffled. Every bit of setup GEO needed to be introduced is already somewhere in the game, and it's been more prominent throughout the series as a whole. I (probably foolishly) got myself excited to get back to using the elements and ringing those handbells from FF11, so I guess I've got only my expectations to blame.

Whatever. I'll probably end up leveling Picto anyway since I level everything. Whether I actually play it or not, I guess I'll know when it comes out. I just hope it has a few cast times.
