Time Mage Awareness

[Andrien]

Not true Red Mage was mentioned in the player's poll.

true, and also new jobs like Arithmetician beats it.




In FFT, Arithmetician is unlocked after getting Time Mage. (i think) edit

After getting all black,white, time and mystic to lv 4. Its bassically a merge of all those mages like a Sage. Look it up on ffwiki, i dont know how they would make Arithmetician work actually without giving it a whole new spell/ability list which is probbably why its under original option.

[Siegtaru]

Would totally rather see Arithmetician than Time Mage. Would have the best AF and weapon. No contest.

tl;dr

Slow is fine (sorta) as an enfeebling ability, but don't bring back haste.

Please, for the love of God, do not bring back haste - at least not how it was implemented in FFXI, because anytime an RPG has a "Super Stat" it just destroys all semblance of balance.

[Endigiont]

I disagree that Haste is a super stat, also I just disagree in general with the entire feeling of using nerf guns and swords and tossing confetti into the air to simulate spells approach a lot of people have in this community, it just feels like a lot of you are out of your comfort area if you're not playing it safe and don't want players to amass great excuse the Final Fantasy expression but "God Slaying" powers. In nearly every Final Fantasy in the past you get to a point where you can do anything, I mean look at the crazy materia combinations you can do in 7 and such <,<;

What in fresh hell is going on here.

Go spend time with your families; It's Thanksgiving. If you're not American, go to work.

Stop having e-fights over which class had a bigger magic wand. Jesus.

People want Time Mages? Cool.

People want Red Mages? Also cool.

Will we get either of them? Nobody knows.

Stop squabbling like schoolchildren in a sandbox. If SE decides to release one, the other, or both, they'll likely reach out to the community on their own time. Making vitriolic posts and warring opinions like this would make anyone want to completely avoid the topic.

TLDR; Stop fighting, you babbys. Have a non-confrontational debate/discussion and SE might just listen, and be impressed by your maturity.

For the record, Red Mage does not actually have a wand, so Time Mage wins that contest by default!

But seriously, my sentiments exactly. The devs aren't blind/deaf(unless they've been enfeebled); they're looking into what best suits FFXIV 2.0(and not what won't work in the now dead 1.0), and as such are no doubt considering both jobs. If they do add either one, hopefully they'll add a nice dose of creativity along with them.

Until then, whining, moaning(and as usual on the internet, most of the posts in this thread are bickering instead of actual content), and attacking each other like a bunch of sniveling 15-year-olds brings down the collective intelligence of the entire community. I've done it myself on occasion in frustration, but if we like to say that the FFXI/FFXIV communities are of a higher caliber than other online games, then we have to be better than that.

Ha ha ha, wow that was your first forum post <3 <3 <3

I couldn't resist signing up just to tell you people that you're all acting like petulant children, it's true.

[Endigiont]

Well it started out good natured enough until the dream killing police started raiding it with their sour attitudes(Admittedly on purpose to troll).

All it was supposed to do was say "Hi, I've always had my heart set on Time Mage and I have hope it'll be in FFXIV eventually." to which people started claiming through the power of prophecy it'll never be around and knowledge of 2.0 gameplay mechanics, then Red Mage enthusiasts started claiming they had special god given priority and exclusive use of roles/spells.

This reminds me of why I don't participate in the Final Fantasy community, any statement or opinion you say, someone will try to pick a fight with you always. Or try and correct you / claim intellectual superiority.
