[dev1033] Class name changes

[Kurokikaze]

It has not been established as fact the the existing classes are non-functional. Many players have been enjoying the existing classes, and have been quite successful. The classes certainly need adjustment, but many players have embraced them. What is being asked for is not removal of the existing classes, just the addition of traditional job names in one way or another.

Naoki Yoshida described two ways of doing this. Neither of which involved removing the old classes.

People in this game also embrace and like Battle Regimens or dare I say it... fishing. That doesn't mean its good and or functional. Just means those people can withstand playing through shitty concepts. Can I get one of these FFXIV Goggles that let you hide shitty mechanics?

I never said you were suggesting removing them. What I pointed out was how you feel that adding new classes will somehow fix the older ones. Sorry but thats just not how it works. Renaming the current classes doesn't work it. A turd is a different word but its still a piece of shit.

Lemme know when the last time you saw a CON or THM nuke (only) in party was. Don't worry, I'll wait.

I never stated that adding new classes will fix the existing classes. Actually, I said that the existing classes certainly need adjustment.

We are talking about two separate but related issues. One is fixing the existing classes. The other is adding traditional Final Fantasy job names to FFXIV. There is no need for them to be mutually exclusive, however. We can ask SE to do both.

And to answer your question, I have not ever seen a Conjurer or Thaumaturge exclusively nuke in a party. But that is more of an issue with defining character roles in parties. Again, it's related but separate issue.
