Yoshi-P specificly said about 20 so interviews now that 8.0 is about job -re-balancing and changing there whole thought job design. countless times. if think other wise your on copium. how daft one must be think that there not gonna do anything saying it 20 or so times in last year or so even before dawn trail was released

Yoshi-P also said jobs would not get simpler in an interview that released 6 months before the release of Dawntrail. We should not be praising promises.

Rebalancing and changing can have a lot of different levels. We may see huge changes just like we may see really superficial ones, simply because Yoshida doesn't disclose what is the design philosophy coming into this rework. We just don't know what to expect.

People like myself thought encounter design would be drastically changed based on what they hyped through Dawntrail's Fanfests - and it happens is more of the same, just faster. Still better than what we had in Endwalker, but still in their safe formula.

the biggest thing they could do is a level squish down so that every job has their full kit up to 100 in all the ultimate fights (so it needs to be squished to a minimum of level 70, ideally more). this also has the benefit of fixing the issue a lot of jobs have where they lose a significant portion of their damage when they sync down. (viper, reaper, black mage, etc.)

if they that that then they need remove all base jobs from the game and job crystals are no longer a equitable item and probably start any class you wanted to at level 1 watch also also be very good for the game if level cap 70. be able to play any job want from level 1 not mention reworking all class quests cause there is f-ton of them

that would require reworking all of the original jobs, as well as reworking all of the original job quests. it might be too big of an ask
