The best weird ass class in 11.
I'm not going to lie, Puppetmaster would be sick to have. My hopes are for DRK,RNG and an actual THF job.

Compared to most MMOs I feel like 14 has the least grindy feeling at end game. There are many reasons to gear up end game and many ways to do it. There are also enough story quests and cool fights/dungeons every patch to give you content to do for awhile if you are more casual about it.

I just came back and the grind is muuuuuch better now. Although there still are some things that are completely ridiculous, like upgrading your relic weapon.

When I re-subscribe I will be hanging on to my fantasia potion in case the new race turns out to be better than Highlanders.
Oh yeah, DRK for me too. My all time favorite job in FF by far. I would get very little sleep if they add that job.

for how long have you been playing? I never felt like this but i've been playing since day 1.
I could understand that if i were new i'd think like you, because the game is wonderful for new players, not so much for those who are up to date.
3 dungeons you'll spam for 3 months, 1 primal fight (2 rehashes for 2.1 and 1 new, 1 new in the rest) and either coil (hardcore) or Crystal Tower (casual) just is not good, and it's been like that for a year. Also, the progress you make with the patchs that contain coil gets "killed" each 6 months because of more ilvl, that's like a new level cap but without the new skills.
And the things you get apart (equipment like the relic enhancements) from this isn't done with exciting content like superb fights that are hard to heal with, they basically require insane amounts of repetitive grinding and farming
I can't really remember the details but I think there was something like 30 hours of grinding low level FATEs to upgrade a weapon? Or running half the one dungeon over and over and over for myth? Yeah not doing that. I've missed a few patches so might be worth resubbing for those.
Is the GAF guild full? Was pretty close when I was in it before.
How so? Also if that's the case, they could tweak it so it plays in fashion with the way xiv works.
Man, Ishgard sure has some nice architecture.

One thing I find that helps me continue to enjoy the game is trying to beat my own damage records on a regular basis. Every individual run is me competing against myself, and that helps a lot. I can imagine how it would become quite boring if you had no interest in doing something like that.
Even without that, however, there's still a ridiculous amount of things to do in the game. Just leveling every class to 50 takes a pretty ridiculous amount of time (unless you twink with the crafting classes and just turn in HQ items for leves to cap).

I personally took 2-month breaks from the game after each patch dropped since I got bored after about a month, but for whatever reason 2.3 has broken that streak for me. I am now level 50 in all the DoW classes except PLD, am leveling my first crafting class to cap, recently finished the last of my beast tribe reputation grinds, and am now working on a Nexus weapon.

Straight from the horse mounth.
Basically the "normal" blue mage is too complex for the simple and rigid job system this FFXIV.
Though yeah, they could always remodel the job. Not like BLM and SMN are anything like their normal FF counterpart... though at that point you could argue there is no point on having a BLU if it doesn't play like a classic FF Blue Mage.

This is easily my favorite MMO out there, but personally I can only play MMOs for a couple months a year before feeling burnt out.
I think I know what I'll be doing for a couple months next spring.

As a DRG main (with a WAR 2nd class), this makes me both laugh and cry. So many of my fellow Dragoons dying all over make me ashamed to be one sometimes...
I don't understand all the confusion about the name. Compared to Square's usual naming disasters, this one's great.
Think of it as Skyward, but instead of being pointed toward the sky, whatever it is (a sword, a character's trajectory, metaphorically speaking, etc) is bound for the Heavens.
Heavensward.

I really hope that, eventually, they put the Beast Master class in. I thought that would totally be my new main character. Right now, I'm planning on swapping out my tank to some DPS class. Maybe join the many new Rogue's / Ninja's or may just gear my Dragoon or Monk or start up a Summoner. Waiting to see more on new classes before anything is definitive though.

<high five>
Pretty sure this is one.
Sadly there are two other fan events they need to release information at.
Probably wouldn't want to take away from the upcoming Rogue / Ninja 2.4 update.
Ah, I forgot. Hopefully something at the Japanese or European fan festivals then.
Well that sucks. Especially since, imo, the equip skill system worked just fine for ffxi blu. I know they want to keep it simple for casual play, but...man.
Dark Knight and I'll sub again.
Nice to see you posting lol.
Edit. I think the name is cool.

A bst as we knew it in FFXI looks impossible to do to me if they don't change the whole structure of the game :/
It would probably be just a kind of warrior with pets and that is -_-

When did they hint at Beast Master?
I kind of agree in that it would be hard for that class to become a reality in today's version of FFXIV. Hopefully they can make this work because that's the job I want to come out the most, personally.
Awesome! I've been wanting to get back into FFXIV but gearing up and learning all the content I've missed since I stopped playing has been a bit of a barrier so I've been waiting for a lvl cap increase. Have everything but Botany and FIshing at 50 so looks like I'll be able to start up pretty quick in the expansion.
See my avatar lol PUP for life baby.
They always said "pet classes" before 2.0. And I believe the usual "ones you'd expect" kind of thing.
New healer and tank coming in the expansion, for sure.
I think Samurai could be a good tank candidate, and it's one that has enough sex appeal to make people actually want to play it.
Uhh no it wouldn't. Explain how it would make the game better..
The higher the rise, the harder fall from Weight of the Land and Landslides.
