Scrap current classes or keep as is?

[AlexiaKidd]

Hell no!

The classes are fine as they are, you are already getting jobs, Auto-attack, and have single-handedly and systematically destroyed EVERYTHING that made FFXIV unique, fact: Most of us don't want to play a rehash of FFXI!!!!

Fact: most people already quit the game >.>

Good for them, I'm not them, and this game should not be a ffxi clone either.

Well unfortunately unless you have very deep pockets and can afford to keep the game afloat SE will go with whatever will bring them the most subscribers/money.

Besides, the majority who quit are the ones who were expecting a ffxi clone to begin with, so your argument is moot.

Even if that were true which I do not believe it is, then SE would have been better off giving them what they wanted and give them a "FFXI-2" and maybe out of the 500k box sales they would have been able to keep enough subscribers to actual make the game P2P and built it up from there. As it is FFXIV is not doing so good hence why it is F2P and the dev team are scrambling to get it back on track and get it to a point where they can charge monthly again.

Scrap it and give me FFXI-2. I've given XIV enough time to fix its faults and they continue to stumble on their faces time and time again, lets just go with what works.

yeah, I would say my last statement is very true, and I'd take an original game over a graphically-enhanced remake anyday, especially since this is not and never should be a ffxi-2.

Also there is no evidence yet that Paladin will only use Sword & Shield.

That may be true, but this has not been said. It has only been said that Gladiator unlocks Paladin, not that you can't use it on other classes. I'd like to be a mage/Paladin personally, or a Gladiator/Thief but who knows in the end what it will really be until they give us more info or hands-on experience with the new job system. (Good luck with that, though).

It just furthers that SE needs to be more transparent with what they know to be true and less cryptic and mysterious to fuel these rampant speculation (aka waste of time) threads. They won't any time soon, though, so rampant speculate away my friends because heaven knows there isn't enough to do in the actual game to keep you busy and off the forums. That's the true tragedy.

Actually if that were true it would make your argument moot.

I happen to agree with you. XI is a closed chapter in my life and I was looking for something new and fresh. Every day XIV is being remade into XI-2 and it's driving me away.

...but you can't say the majority of people don't want XI-2, then turn around and say the majority of people quit because they wanted XI-2 and didn't get it. Totally invalidates your original assertion. ^^ Sorry. Stay focused and fight the good fight!

thx for pointing that out, I've been caught in a fallacy for once. I can only blame being tired of trying to show the moonbats just how bad thier ideas are.
