Nothing wrong with speculating and sometimes some people like to cover all the bases. Speculating is one of the purposes of the forum so just have fun with it.


On another note........

Re: FFXIV seems like it will be a class identification nightmare.

I did read about the jobs being able to fill more than one role. Rather than a job being only one thing, it can be 2-3 different things instead.

This will lead to more tanks, DDs, support, healers ect.

A person that is set up to be a DD can switch to a tank quickly between fights if needed, and vise verrsa. If you have a tank leaving, and cant find any jobs that can tank, then just have some one change to "tank" skills/gear, and just grab a DD, or what ever to replace them, and they can exp. No longer will 1 person leaving break a party as easily as it did in FFXI

Just like if you are soloing. If you are injured, and need to be healed. The fight ends, you change to a stafforwhateverweaponitisthattheyusetoheal and heal them self, then go back to their sword, hammer, club, H2H, spear, W/E.

Communication will be needed as well as it will make it so that people will know what you are willing to do in a party. Maybe you play as a DD type job, but they have tank skill as well, and you want to play as a tank. Or a healer type class that has DD type skills, and you want to DD instead of heal. They wil actually have to ask you what you want to do instead of just say...

"{Hello!} {Party}?"

Re: FFXIV seems like it will be a class identification nightmare.

Re: FFXIV seems like it will be a class identification nightmare.

Didn't Tanaka (or Komoto, was actually more likely Komoto) in an interview over @ ZAM that they want to do away with traditional classes altogether?

That's why they are making it this way; the idea is that you create your own class from the skills you learn, while still maintaining a way to focus/specialize in certain areas.

sometimes it is a little wrong lol

im sorry jen I don't mean to nitpick but yeah the sense of urgency in your post is just a tad worrying, im afraid you might have an heart attack if it ends up not being like that at all lol

im pretty sure it'l be different than FFXI but i have absolutely no idea where theyre going with the new approach.. probably more versatility yes but to an extent...

Or maybe it can just be to talk about the classes more, and maybe the City-States lol.

Why don't we get these in Game Pro magiazines... Ugh...

ORLY?

Tank: Well, thanks for party guys. I couldn't find a rep though. (Leaves)
Leader: DD1 would you mind changing to tank?
DD1: I'm doing a perfectly fine job playing as a DD, ask DD2.
DD2: PFFT! I outparsed you the last 5 fights, you should do it!
Healer: Both of you idiots took too much hate from the tank and I had to drop cure bombs on you the whole time.
Hybrid Healer(IE BLM or RDM): You were afk 95% of the time leeching XP. I was doing all of the curing.
(Enter Argument and potential party disband.)

Its all jokes, but I'm sure there will be people who do this lol.
