RPG-Gamer Interview

Anything that keeps me from standing in town shouting to get something done for six hours or asking my ls mates to help is considered solo content in my book, even if it does auto-match me with other players. So your right, clearly some people have different definitions of what the term "solo" is.

Well, to that credit, maybe it's better to solo fighting with others than to solo /shouting with others. But then that's just me. :P

...casual content we have planned, such as the "bestiary."

...previous titles such as summoner, thief, ninja, samurai, and red mage. Rather than obsessing over originality, we want XIV's jobs to evoke a true Final Fantasy feel ...

After both these statements... Then where's my Beast Master!?? Q_Q

[Babydoll]

Can't wait to see these new jobs I hope RDM is more combat oriented..with magic stuffs!

Yeah, I'm hoping RDM will be a frontline job, with party enhancing spells.

Something like combining light and dark magic into EN spells to cast on the party either AOE or single target.

Example:
EN-drain: sap HP with each attack
EN-element: Does additional elemental type damage on attack

I also hope that Rdm will use a rapier type sword and have that fencing type stance with stabby stabby attacks.

maybe use Celes' (FFVI) Runic blade and absorb a magic spell cast by the enemy.

"we have planned, such as the "bestiary""

My day is made. Thank you, SE.

"Casual content we have planned, such as the "bestiary""

Nothing casual about a full up Bestiary!

Someone doesn't understand the concept of solo content:

"Solo players will also be matched together automatically for all instanced dungeon content, removing the need to form parties on their own. This can be thought of as an extension of solo play."

...and yes, I do understand that ONE aspect of an MMO is to play with others.

Then we have to disagree about the meaning of solo. Any content where I am limited in my progress by the availability or skill of other players (or they are limited by my lack of skill) is not solo content in my book.

[Dragonheart]

Looking forward the bestiary funcion :sisi:

[Renala]

but don't worry--we won't be implementing anything that seems bizarre or out of place.

He says that, but they want to add Ahriman mounts.
