eh... I was hoping they would have stuck with the jobs.... I mean its Final Fantasy -.-

and this hot swapping "jobs" in the middle of a fight...... I think they are trying to make this game TOO easy -.-


but of course I have not played it yet, so I will hope of my "worries" till then. Hope I can get into the beta, so I can try it, and not waist money encase I don't care for where they are taking it.

Sorry but I don't want 15 Melee Jobs and 5 Mage Jobs just because it's Final Fantasy. Black Mage hogged pretty much all the nuking in FFXI. But why wouldn't it? It's the only FF job really dedicated to nuking. It got the best of everything the nuking world had to offer, so anybody else was mainly redundant with what BLM offered. The FF magic system is pretty shallow (mainly boils down to a progression of elemental nukes I through IV...) so the only way for them to make SCH was to give it gimmicks with the buffs it can bestow.

That kind of shit works fine and dandy in an offline game where balance is not a requirement, but in retrospect it wasn't such a bright idea to design the jobs the way they did in FFXI. FF is not defined by having a Job System anyways. There are enough of them that lack one to warrant trying something else.

and this hot swapping "jobs" in the middle of a fight...... I think they are trying to make this game TOO easy -.-

And how would you know? There might be penalties for changing in the middle of a fight. The game is still so early in development they haven't even decided if they want to let you master everything on a single character or not. And they mention that there'll be more to the combat than just what you're targeting. God knows what that means.

Too early to be whipping out the "-.-"'s. People are being too paranoid about the little bits of info that have been released. We still know next to nothing.

Why did the title of this thread change? It's confusing.

Re: The *ahem* OFFICIAL "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online" Thread of Ultimate Anticipation!

The difference will probably be small enough to not give a fuck about, like races in FFXI.

According to the new info the stat differences will be even more marginal in XIV than in XI (which is nice because there were some pretty big discrepancies... 12 INT is a LOT @_@) so Hello Miqo'te, male or no male.

too many merged threads.... wtf...

Re: Final Fantasy XIV Races and Classes Revealed!!!! (SCANS!) ultimate game!

I think this thread just got split off the other one. The title *does* sound like jenova.

EDIT: Hahah! The OP started six posts too late from the start of this thread. XD Some mod miss the cut off mark by a bit?

Not merged, unmerged. If I'm not mistaken, the posts with the title "Final Fantasy XIV Races and Classes Revealed!!!! (SCANS!) ultimate game!" were originally a different thread which got merged into the "ultimate" one. I separated out those posts and the posts that looked to be direct replies on the same line of conversation.

You totally killed my "reason for editing" message, TM. >.>

I'm not going to ask that you put it back, because it's rather unimportant whether or not people know that a factor of the base damage of Encase is determined from the user's INT subtracted from the target's INT, especially if you consider what that implies. <_<;

Sorry, I didn't know copying posts didn't copy that. The split thread tool seems to no longer exist.

Well, they never said that you can swap jobs during a fight. You might have to actually disengage, then swap gear, then reingage in the fight.

Like you are fighting with a sword and your group gets hit by a strong AoE attack. You can't swap to a staff, then start curing while fighting. You may have to disengage, then swap gear, wait a few seconds for the change to kick in, then cure bomb, then switch back to your sword then start fighting again.

I do like the idea of not having to rest. Its nice, but don't make the game so that you can sit there and whack away at a monster 13 levels higher than you solo, and keep gear swapping to keep your self alive.

Could be anything from links, weather effect (Like high wind speeds will affect accuracy of ranged attacks, rain will reduce magic, except for lightning ect), Other character (If PvP is allowed), AoE magic that other monsters might cast, and many more stuff.

<Edit>

I just hope that SE makes the monsters "Smarter", not like they are in FFXI. A Goblin Leecher that casts cure III when they are barely harmed, or casts it at the end. Or a Goblin that uses the bomb and kills them self at the start of a fight. Or even a Leech or worm that uses Mp-Absorption on a character that has no Mp.
