That picture is way too small to glean anything from.

They just want Jenova to explode all over the place, sharing her hopefulness of FFXIV becoming a better game, and getting more people to play it.

thats all? *goes back to White Knight Chronicles II*

I wouldn't see the point of adding the original jobs... I mean, GLA and PLD are basically the same.

I haven't been paying much attention to the producer letters, but just going from the cover I'd guess it's not new jobs but just AF-like armor sets. Tacking on more classes would just be dumping needless additional complexity on an already obtuse system.

obtuse

Points for this word.

sounds more like the job specific armor

GLD class, equipped wih PLD Job can wear PLD AF

Sounds convoluted. Yet another one for the list of reasons I'm happy I went back to XI

That's a real thing? So now instead of having two sets of levels you have a secondary class system?

Re: new Classes revealed! PLD, DRK, RNG, BLM, WHM, DRG!!!!

They mentioned that classes are separate from jobs. They'll be a sort of focus within a single job that will enhance certain abilities and traits while offering new ones to use along with it. I doubt any piece of equipment will require a class to use as well as a specific job.

How, exactly?

Similar playstyle & gear yes. but the same? Hell no, especially after the recent changes. GLA feels more like a mix of WAR & PLD really, minus the native white magic. I really like how GLA is set up a s general fighter class - it's also way more fun than PLD ever was in XI.

Hopefully as they add more jobs to each Class, they'll expand GLA into more offensive options. Or at the very least, they won't make PLD so damn weak in XIV as it is in XI.


What confuses the shit out of me is WHM & BLM, because currently CON has full access to elemental spells AND healing, while THM has mostly Divine/Dark/Enfeebling magic. CON can't be getting both jobs (SE already confirmed 1 per class) so... wtf?

The way it works is this (as it was explained to us at least in some letters)

You level GLD to some point, do some quests and unlock PLD

Now you have two choices

GLD/--- will play as normal, letting you mix and mach skills from other classes and such
GLD/PLD will lock out many of your skill equipping options, but enhance and even add some new skills, that will enhance your "tank role"

there are no levels to jobs, they are "equipped" to your class, and they can only be paired with the class that unlocks it.


so like LAN/DRG or CON/WHM or THM/BLM (not sure about those last two, it might be swapped.)

Not sure if would want, but seeing as it's highly unlikely I'll ever play the game again, I'm not sure why I'm even venturing an opinion.

oh mew, I'm sure you are interested in playing FFXIV sometime if there are more convincing additions.
