Square Enix Can't Figure How To Make AST Fun!

[Vladmiere]

That is somewhat true. I can get my jollies off being a quasi time mage thematically and celestial caster at the very least. Half our spells are LB3 worthy. Astrologian is at least tolerable still to me. Maybe not to others. I try to play the scholar and still miss the days of bane/shadowflare and i do miss the fishing mechanic from Heavensward. Call me a glutton for punishment i guess. Removing TP as a dps was a mistake imo and homogenising gear/stats/jobs to make the game easier for development is also destroying creativity because FF 14 has fallen into a catatose development cycle that is so easy to predict. Same length of expansion with 2x dps then next 1 healer 1 dps or 1 tank and 1 dps. Same number of dungeons same systems just theme parked up to next level. Blah blah we go on. Next expansion past Dawntrail will be revving up the new big bad while introducing one range dps and one new tank. 4-5 level dungeons. Two grind dungeons at cap with raid ready to go two weeks out and harder version short after. 3 patch cycles and 4 new dungeons. Next expansion... I am not counting the experiments they have like the floating isle sanctum, dynamis and our own airships.
