Dev[1033]Class names

[swtch]

I didn't see a forum post about this yet so....

edit: just the name change part

I like blue mage, remember the steal the spell cast on you mage that is a cool game mechanic and i think would fun to be implemented. That kinda spell would fit with the thaumaturge style i think and i just like the name blue mage.

A conjurer is like a black mage and a white mage had a baby and compromised on the name conjurer and honestly conjurer is connotative of like conjuring spirits, apparitions or summons and less "just magic". Other names that could be used though are maybe grey mage or Gandolf...

what names would everyone else like to see

This game is not FFXI so don't try to recreate it.
I find names such as blue, red or black mage personally kind of dumb. Since it doesn't say anything about the class. Thaumaturge has actually a meaning, maybe you knew that if you have bothered to look it up.

This game reminds me of hipsters, nothing is wrong with being generic. Everything being unique and "innovative" is a terrible idea. I think we all know how well the hipster launch of this game went...

So you are basically saying is that you are against progress? Good luck with that!

They are not going to change much in the Armoury System as it is now. They will be implementing a separate Job System to help people assign roles to themselves in a future patch.

Classes != Jobs.

whoa i didn't say anything about the meaning of thaumaturge and that name fits, very well, I just said i like the name blue mage mostly because they are just really cool. Honestly the dev will now hear your opinion so... double thumbs

also i don't really have a problem with the names; just that i like the idea of a little more differentiation among classes. They had a good start with all these "innovative" ideas but what the frack happened they just stopped halfway through, a lot of this game is cool but some of it looks like it was thrown together at the last moment. Innovative is cool when it's done, when it's halfway done it just looks like junk.

What you find to be "dumb" has been part of the franchise, and the namesake for 25 years. You do know that this game is Final Fantasy XIV right?

They don't have to innovate. Their Final Fantasy! I do miss my bluemage and hope the same type of monster ability spell slinger is unleashed upon Eorzea in the near future! Thine enemies shall fall. I just don't see how XIV could make an ever better backstory for them after XI's. XI bluemage is just perfect. Good luck XIV I'm counting on you Yoshi!!

1. The whole reason XIV is in a bad condition is because they ignored FFXI.

2. The Japanese names are as generic as it can get.

3. The Japanese names for the classic names (they existed prior to XI btw) makes a hell of a lot more sense than the current english names in XIV.

4. There's no Dark Mage.
