RPG-Gamer Interview

[Babydoll]

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

[Picoman]

This is why I like RPGamer. They manage to ask a few good questions, get some concise answers and not spend half a page talking about cigarettes and hospitals.

Yeah, funny considering how the interviewer doesn't actually give a shit about the game, re: one of their recent podcasts where said all characters are getting wiped. Im surprised at these questions, i reckon someone else wrote them for him. They frequently butcher all FFXIV news. But yeah some good ones in there.

My day is made. Thank you, SE.

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.

I know your joking, but some people really need to let stuff go, they hold grudges too much. Anyways when I saw the Samurai and Ninja I squealed :P.

Well Starlord, i mean no disrespect to ya but alpha is starting soon and we still dont know how casters will work in combat, and how the combat itself will work in a group setting. I feel it's kinda pointless to get excited over new jobs when we dont even know how the basic funtions of the game work

Samuari and Ninja are my Favorite "throughout" the series, so it's only "natural" to have this feeling of excitement when it is brought up of coming at some point or another in FFXIV ARR. Thank you and have a great day, stop by again!

Tell you the truth, the idea of Samurai being in anything gets me pretty excited.

[Warlock]

Yes because we all remember how often we saw Ninjas throwing shuriken and using the wheel - oh wait.


I'm hoping this time around they will have NIN go back to using MP like Edge did, because otherwise Utsusemi will be ridiculous - no recast + tools = OP. At least there's no Haste in XIV to abuse dual wield this time around.

I wonder if Shuriken will be done as a chakram/boomerang type weapon? (non-consumable) or if we'll get to actually throw weapons again. Probably not, and while that was a good way to deal huge damage in the offline games, eh... I don't fancy tossing out level 48+ weapons at mobs when I could be selling them or turning them into materia lol.

What about if NIN fights throwing like this?:

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

Nothing casual about a full up Bestiary!

[Cynthis]

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.
