#FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE

[Doragan]

That’s simple, healers are not a cool job, we don’t sell games, and will not be the poster character of an expansion either.

Imagine the warrior of light movie character trying to look cool in a white mage outfit and healing. Very few can think of that without laughing.

Actually, having a healer on the forefront would be cool. Even if DRK got butchered with Shb.. it was a cool marketing thing atleast?
It's about time we get a healer on the cover of the damn game!

It, one day, they use a healer as poster job, i'm betting it will be sage.

8.0 should bring in two new Healers, and have the WoL be a healer in the trailer.

Maybe that might motivate them to actually try to figure out how to get people interested in playing the role, instead of trying to tell them to go play Ultimate or telling people who don't want to play healer to just go play it.

The worst part is they have made the healers so “anti masculine” (I’m not criticising gender roles here but honestly can you see meteor wearing a wedding dress and casting flower spells) that I physically cannot imagine meteor ever being a healer

Maybe in like 3.0 when SCH was a tactician poison mage but can you imagine the 8.0 trailer and meteor casts seraphism, it would look like an actual joke and I hate that as a male healer main who plays a males character

So..... more than 900 pages and still no acknoledgement from SE.... While it took only 170 pages (if i remember) to acknoledge that they fumbled some parts of the graphical update.

I think, we can conclude, that now we know their priority and that they don't give a damn about healer. :/

I'll still playhealer, but i don't have high hope for the future of this role.

his take will be that, healers are unhappy because it's too hard, and make sure to make healers more stressfree moving forward

I think that if the healers are made any more stress-free at this point, then they'll basically play themselves.

Can you imagine SE adding auto play to the game? Might as well just add a cinema mode to the game at that point.

I mean look at the warriors of darkness too Lamitt went from being portrayed as a powerful mage in HW and then became the healer bot gf of Ardbert and the healer role quests basically just made her a Sylphie who loves her big strong warrior boyfriend and wants to heal her village. It's very clear that healers are the girl role, I mean look at other FF games and how many of the girl characters are normally healers.

Need more healers like Endwalker's Gosetsu. Thanks.

WHM definitely kinda suffers from that... Especially so since they've gone from using the elements to just flowers and light as the Conjurer roots are completely fucking gone... That combined with the casting animation of the WHM specific spells, definitely not exactly intended for a male character.
The other healers don't feel like the WoL trying to be a magical girl on their animations at least.
