FFXIV seems like it will be a class identification nightmare.

Celeal · 10-07-2009, 07:45 AM

My speculation is party setup would be like those multi-player shooter games (such as Counter-Strike):

It does not really matter which "weapons" you or your teammates pick. Once the battle starts to roll, the game will flow. In a sense players would need to adapt with the tools (weapons) available, or adjust their play style according to the team/party.

In some way we already seen this in FFXI Campaign Battles --- we throw bodies in there regardless of race, job, tools, or even levels (to a certain extend) ... at the end somehow it works out (or doesn't).

If we go beyond the model of party fights one mob at a time, with a fixed camp (location) and pulling --- the game-play could be something like tanks = campers + snipers (in shooter game) and DD = rush (in shooter game).

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.

More likely the DDs will go: "What? I don't have tank skills leveled. If I wanted to play a tank I'd play a tank" >>> party disbands.

The suggestion of switching roles is akin to asking someone to go back to their moghouse and switch jobs. Nothing's changed.

Also the majority of people are still going to play DD. There will always be a shortage of tanks and healers.

I heard RDM's will melee, Blms will mainly charm mobs, Bsts will transform into Beasts, Rangers will probably used bows. Also all the crap that's been put out, I'm super excited that nobody has figured out AV yet in FFXI, hope he makes a return if they don't figure him out this go round lmao

For the MFing Win ^^^^

I can't even watch it, but it refrences Altered beast, which is awesome. No other game alows you to repeadetly kick glowing warthogs as the run past you.

Fuck hard rain!
Altered beast reign!!!

Portable Black Holes. You've never wondered how you can carry all that extra armor and furniture in ffxi?

Celeal · 10-08-2009, 11:00 AM

geez.. looking at the graphics, what kind of system requirement for PC is going to be

P.S.
At least with PC version of The Last Remnant my computer is okay. If FFXIV is going beyond that I might as well upgrade computer.

A friend posted this on my LS site about the whole "job/class" concept in and of itself from Elmer.

In the end, it seems it'll be less about judging people on their class and more about judging everyone on their character.
