Ideas from an Unemployed Game Designer - FFXIV style!

[Talon_Luna]

Morning Update:

Main post updated with: Bushido Bladesmen and its two jobs: Ninja and Samurai

I hope you like it. Remember, these classes/jobs are meant to fit within the CURRENT FFXIV holding to the 3 ability, 1 weaponskill, 1 15min.

Got lots of stuff up here now, would be nice to see some reps or devs or what have you chime in
*cough* is looking for a job *cough

Thanks for stopping by more great things to come

SEPPUKKU!!!! /dies!!! Y I no powerful enoughs ; ; Anyways I enjoy how each of your classes takes a seperate path and have different stats to keep players having to choose which build they enjoy the most. I would be all over Samurai like a moogle is on a kupo nut!

You should know that most of the development, if not all of it, is done in Japan. Square-Enix NA is mainly localization, if not entirely. I've done similar stuff for FFXI about four years ago in the form of Viking and Chemist, and I've written game document changes directly to Yoshi-P which seem to be implemented in 2.0 (though could be coincidence). Honestly designing systems and mechanics is the easy part, do you have any other skills such as programming or art?

Square Enix NA made the crystal chronicles series if you didn't know. And designing isn't easy for everyone the way Talon shoots out ideas is incredible the speed and creative he has while coming up with things is amazing. I know for a fact that Talon would be a top designer for a game once he got hired. It takes someone creative and good at multiple skills to design a job/dungeon/event/etc. and make it balanced, fun, innovative, etc. Yes some people that are creative would see it as easy in comparison such as you Saieno but as a person such as myself programming seems easiest for me while designing would present me a challenge. All it takes is dedication and commitment to your goals and anything is possible.

I meant no offense or anything, so my apologies if it was taken negatively. I am a game developer myself, and I was curious if he had any other skills besides systems designs. I've broken away from commercial development and was looking to start some indie development projects.

My programming skills are, hardly junior level, but I was able to program this game. I have a large skill set, but systems and the like are what I am best at I think.

On another note. Tomorrow's morning update will be, a unique event type, similar to Hamlet, where all Disciples work together towards a goal in a single event. I hope everyone is looking forward to it!

Lets get more feed back getting posted everyone! I see you looking, but not saying anything Likes are fine too~!

Stay tuned for tomorrows post!

Good morning all!

Updated the main post with a fast paced, multi-disciple event!
Hope you like it.
Post has gotten too big to hold everything so I have removed the oldest stuff (GEO and DRK) and I will make links for them in my Signature today.

Edit: Signature link up~

I like it seems tons more fun then hamlet! I like how the dol and doh are actually fighting through breaking stuff and taking stuffs away from the beastman makes it more of a battle. I really love that the DoW/DoM get to fight stuff hated that we just sat there in hamlet and cured npcs while they fought. This is what hamlet should've been imo xD Love the work keep making more!

Little Later then Normal but better then nothing.
