Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I can only imagine Yoshida announcing RDM in Tokyo and afterwards, just before he walks off stage, he unzips his hoodie to reveal a Beyonce T-shirt, thus hintfirming Dancer. >.>

Yes, I just made up a word.

Funny stuff
Cute Cartoon History of Religon and war.

Both rdm and sam were already speculated before rdm was confirmed. They're the jobs SE has talked abuot adding in the future the most.

I've joined a PUG for the first time in 5 years....I was so nervous lol.

i can't really think of a class that would be different enough from what we have atm. traditional class wise there isn't too much missing that's role isn't already taken over by an existing job.

Something that looks different is different enough to me lol

I just want to see concept art and drawings for new jobs and areas :) idc how they play really

The DNC idea would be fairly new, but...not as DNC. That more fits RDM.

@Seha if they have talked about SAM at some point, that makes it more likely. The only thing I've seen that points to DNC though is the girl in the trailer who is most likely a MNK or PGL.

I just really hope RDM is a healer. >.>

rdm will cast haste and refresh over and over til the event ends. that is all.

'Member auto-attacking on BRD?

I doubt RDM will be a healer

Tell Dameion, I doubt they will add SAM. Then tell him I laughed after saying it.

*laughs*

i really want to see rogue one again.

It is important to know how you would like to die.

I said long ago I expect rdm dps and sam tank.

I'm pretty sure the only reason we thought it wouldn't be a tank is Yoshi briefly mentioned they didn't wanna release it yet because they were thinking of rethinking their stance on making Sam a tank, because it's traditionally been DPS.

I think one of the 1.0 remembrance events "confirmed" SAM and RDM being in the works when you talked with npc Yoshi, didn't it?

I dunno why we need more DPS.

Reducing damage and coutering has been a sam characteristic before, so if any tank were to be added I'd expect sam to be one that makes perfect sense.

Neither did FFXI but still ~80-90% of jobs in the game are DDs

Dps jobs are easier to diversify compared to tanks and healers.

i typed up this big thing about the differences between xi and xiv and how that impacts adding new jobs. the one thing i'll leave and actually post is... in xiv it' s like the whole fight is scripted you just have to learn your lines. you do the same thing at the same time EVERY time. at it's best xi was knowing your job in and out to survive in a fight you should have no business beating. that's nostalgia glasses. at the end (for me at least) it was two bards and a cor rotating into the party and zerging down most things.

not anymore really. they made smn too much of a dot person and less of someone who uses their pet to do damage. if they had made summoners more pet oriented then i could see rdm come in and be a dot dmg dealer. atm i can't really think of something any new job would bring. mch was just a different brd and drk was just pseudo-war with different abilities.

<differing opinion>

if they add Dancer id want em to use Fans or Ribbons honestly,

5 Achievements to go!

2 are main story, the other 3 are 1000 bounty in each hold, and the werewolf/vampire masteries. So I can just go on killing sprees once I finish the storyline as a werewolf or vampire to get those.

But it's still diverse in being the only job like that so far.

You're looking it more as SMN not being a pet job, and that's mostly a fault on SE's part because they've made a game where it's hard to pet jobs to thrive without making the pet be basically totally useless.

I'd love to see them add actual pet jobs to the game, but as the combat system is now it just doesn't seem like a possibility without them ending up exactly like SMN and MCH.

DRK is far closer to PLD than WAR, and this possible idea for SAM seems more like their "WAR Alternate" if it turns out to have any actual basis in fact.

The problem with trying to diversify Healers/Tanks is that like you said, this game is very scripted and thus tanking and healing is going to be incredibly similar no matter what name you put on the job doing it because they need to have extremely similar abilities to handle mechanics for that role. Thus we get the problem where DRK and PLD feel like nearly the exact same class with different ability names.

Healers have the same issues, where AST is still trying to properly come into its own because all anyone wants to do is compare it to SCH or WHM rather than being its own being with different situational uses.

DPS can almost always be diversified though because as long as they can deal large amounts of damage they're doing their job. They're not required to do much else.

I want a job that uses all the minions as weapons.

if this happens, id be killing bahamut with Jibanyan <,<
