What is your RPG playstyle?

[ty_taurus]

Just to be clear, I don't think there's any change that would ever need to be made to any game. Games are fake, imagined from whole cloth. They can be anything anyone wants them to be. So yeah, I agree, and I hope nothing I said suggested that I thought the game was in need of change one way or the other. All I wanted to point out was that over 10 years the game has changed and become a meaningfully different experience compared to what it once was.

Right, I’m just trying to note that I don’t think the qualities I look for in a character or class, or the qualities that Scholar once had are in direct opposition to the experience modern FFXIV is generally trying to foster. The removal of those elements is not because those clash with the game flow of FFXIV, and if they were to return, or if Sage were to adopt the playstyle it was originally described as having, that that cannot work within the confines of FFXIV’s systems.

In other words, I don’t think me not finding what I’m looking for is because it cannot work within FFXIV’s structure, which is the what I took from your original response to be suggesting.
