Not to mention 1 of the weapon shops back in 1.0 had a bunch of gun racks on the wall XD


Plus Merlwyb was just so badass with her twin sawed-off shotguns. The only question is, will it be gunmage from X-2 or maybe Machinist as the job? They could always bring back COR as well but... idk, COR seemed like a better fit for XI given the way XI handles multiple abilities.

Merlwyb's group was described more as Corsairs (Privateers) than as "Pirates". So the Musketeer class could be inspired by Corsairs from FFXI (but not necessarily modeled after) or they could go into a different direction especially IF they decide to actually have a Corsair class (so maybe Musketeers will be using "cutlass/saber" type of weapons?) SE is going to need to figure out this whole Armory system really carefully if they want to add more and more classes and jobs in the future as they're going to have to have very nuanced weapon selections. Really clearly spelt out or there'd be balance issues.

Well, one thing I remember them saying was for Thief they would take Daggers away from GLA.

They could also do things like add different types of each weapon; for example RDM could be made to use Sabers/Rapiers rather than the typical Broad & Longswords GLA/PLD do.

It's just boring to me that it's one weapon per job. Just blah. And now that Scholar and Summoner both come from Arcanist, who knows what they're doing.

Well to be fair, in XI you had access to multiple weapons but outside of Warrior you were typically limited because of skill rankings. But I do agree, it is kinda sucky to just use one weapon type all the time - some of the most fun I had on XI was back during my SAM/RNG days using Soborro to spam Sidewinder.

So, someone will wield a staff, another will wield a wand and the third will wield a magical dildo.

FINAL FANTASY XIV, The Lodestone

I'm just worried my character will be screwed up somehow and I won't notice until Phase 4.

I don't like the way she pronounced carbuncle, but I'd do her.

You raise your chocobo and they can fight alongside you. Also she mentioned you can have them fight other players chocobos, which seems close to cock fighting, but whatever.

That's the first time I heard of chocobo vs. chocobo in this, mew.

It's like pet battles in WoW, except it's ripped off from Pokemon. I wonder how granular will the maintenance and care of these chocobos be. Is it like FFXI, with lots and lots of useless time consuming (almost obsessive) amounts of "grinding" (on that order) or will it be more intuitive and sensible? It remains to be seen ...
