Please Share Updates on 8.0 Job Design

I just want communication on a more philosophical level. Let us know what issues you think the game has, let us know what kind of direction you plan. Nothing concrete, I just want to understand what those game designers are thinking.

While It would be nice, I'm at a point where trust is so low, concrete information is needed.
It's not like the last expansions action trailers were good hype points for the game either.
We can't even trust the fanfest (SGE second dot hoax)

If doing content with the current action rotation is considering boring, it isn’t an issue with what we have. It’s YOU that’s bored.

Hard not to be bored when you can clear a fight on, say, SCH and swap to any other healer and have zero learning curve to clear again.

If you're fine with the kits as they are right now, good for you, but not everyone is happy with everything that has been removed from the job kits over the years.

Cool, others have issue with it though.

Didn't they also used to speak about jobs way more prior to implementations? If so, where's that degree of communication nowadays? Do they need people to praise them for creating StB Lilies to go back to that? Lmao.

"just wait until fanfest" "just wait until launch" "just wait until next patch" "oops cant make any changes now because that would steal the thunder of the rest of the expansion so just wait for fanfest"

While they absolutely should do this there’s no way in hell we’re getting anything other than an extremely brief, extremely vague comment during one of the fanfest that answers nothing. Oh, and a trailer of the ‘new actions’ that tells us literally nothing except ‘LOOK EVERYONE BIGGER EFFECTS’

Bigger effects is the most we'll get 100%

I can't wait for SAM to get a Gekko upgrade that consists of T-posing while a crescent moon that's big enough to fill the screen is superimposed over the target.

The shitty character animations for newer skills bugs me to no end, but I guess it's irrelevant when the particle effects mask everything.

Glad to know somebody else felt something similar. I first noticed this on MNK's filler combo new animations. It feels like they're overemphasizing the particles without taking account how silly some movement looks when you remove all of that. They had no weight in it. The closest analogy that I could think of is like playing Ph.Berz from OC where all of your hits are AA slaps but they certainly do damage...yes...lol...

GNB's entire not-Confiteor combo is like that, and the crown jewel is that it has almost no sound effects, which is another annoying trend.
