I remember her ditching me in real life because of a Fafnir window.

I miss ffxi HNM drama. Probably every year or two I end up going through Meph's livejournal again for lulz.

I go through guildportal posts from 2005 when im bored at work. Such good reads

also, the OF post mentioned at the end of last page is right on the money.

Its kinda funny, I know people who don't even know 2.0 is going to exist and they bought the game at release(they shelved it after realizing it was terrible). I think SE will have to really crank the marketing campaign unlike ever before.

It -is- a good post, but he's not going to get what he wants. I don't know of any Japanese game that gets marketing like top-shelf NA games do. SE is also loathe to step outside of themselves and the way they release and promote their products. He makes truly excellent points, but I don't see anything changing about the way they run their media wagon.

Oh, I'm sure there's going to be plenty of cosplaying and festival nonsense over in Japan around the game, but once again, SE loves treating their world-wide launch products as if they are a simple JP-only niche train simulator. If you don't market to the world in this day and age, you aren't going to capture a world market. Its that simple.

Seriously need more info, this place is gnawing at its paws out of boredom.

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-08-17 21:14

Maybe Arcanist will have the Elementals, Summoner will have lesser Primals, and then the card thing for full Primal?
The description does say Summoners summoned Primals, but they also threw in that cryptic talk about how they transmute their essence to bind them. Transmute and Essence can be taken a lot of different ways I guess.
I voted for Musketeer (Since thats what I was excited for for 1.0 . . .) but I am always happy to see more classes/jobs regardless of what I personally want.
People being happy for SMN means they'll be happy in game and be less likely to be some rude sombish cause they hate life (the game).

**miokomioko** · 2012-08-17 21:15

Yeah, I voted for something more along the lines of BST/PUP, but I know SMN will create the most boners overall... which is good for the game and good for us in general.

**Churchill** · 2012-08-17 21:16

That's bullshit, SE had actual 1-2m commercials for ToAU in the US as I remember seeing them while watching the Simpsons.

But

DAMN YOU GUYS THINK UR SO ENTITLED OMFG JUST WAIT ITS GUN BE A FLUD

**Mina** · 2012-08-17 21:18

Mooshy, mooshy... Why does that name sound familiar...

Well you never know what that other class could be!

Maybe both of us will have the jobs we want.

**Mooshywooshy** · 2012-08-17 21:19

Im hoping Bahamut will be a summon, always got mad pant happy when I got him in any FF to summon. Such a badarse.
Since they are harking back to old FFs I wonder when/how/if Ultima will come back, seems like lately Meteor has taken its place as the end all spell, but I want sum dat blue explosion.

Ya, I was thinking the same thing. Let's be fair, SE actually gives commercials for a lot of their games in the US, which you can only say for certain games/game companies. Only other ones that stand out (to me at least) is first person shooter games and WoW.

Also posters/flyers in game stores, etc.

They really do advertise pretty well compared to a lot of companies.

That OF post was funny, but I look at it like this.
You never see a commercial about an SVT Mustang, a BMW M5 or any other specialty cars. What you will see is a commercial with a V6 or GT Mustang, and a regular 5 series BMW. SE looks at FFXIV as their top tier game (even though it may never be). I never expected a lot of advertising for FFXIV. Instead, they will market games that they NEED to market. Lara Croft games for example. They make a game, market the crap out of it for a month, then be done with it. FFXIV is something (they hope) that will be around for a long time, and it won't require as much marketing.

Arcanist gets BST Familiars and Carbuncle (you can already see an Arcanist summoning familiars in some quests). The class is basically a mage BST in concept but without Charm I presume.

I'd love to see Bahamut but I wonder how this dev team feels about it. I know previously when asked for in FFXI they shut that down saying that they considered Bahamut powerful and didn't want to have a "weak version" of him being used. But I mean maybe as a Primal and a very special use occasion? Maybe.

I wasn't expecting Meteor so Ultima isn't out of the question.

I am trying to think of what abilities would be used for Limit Breaks.

**Rionel** · 2012-08-17 22:07

White Mage + Black Mage = Twincast/Twin Meteor a la Palom Porom! That'd be pretty fun actually.

It'd certainly be fun to see Ultima in a game like this as well~

**brozy** · 2012-08-17 22:10

Seeing as it seems that each job/class/whatever will have its own unique LB i think Warrior is more than likely to have Omnislash/Lion heartesq thingy, we already know that Blm has Meteor, would of said 100 fists for Mnk but thats already an ability then again could make it a party wide version inno...can't actually think of what the other jobs would have atm so thats all i've got for now lol
