Final Fantasy XIV: Stormblood - June 20 2017

[Lokus]

RDM's healing aspect, if it does have it, might just boil down to something like an AoE Second Wind type of deal along with the ability to battle rez like SMN.

This dev panel is awesome. Mr D talking about titan.

[Prothescar]

He talking some mad shit asking how players who had trouble with Cursed Voice got past Allagan Rot.


Easy, they enraged it and didn't do the mechanic! My original coil group is the only group i've been in where any of us had done Rot. Every subsequent group either tried and gave up or never attempted.

tfw scrubs skipped allagan rot

I feel lied to.

>T12 was beaten in 3 days and Yoshida was furious.

lol they intentionally designed Goridas to take a month to beat.

[solracht]

well that was a good panel

[Vaspinne]

If the gamewatch interview is accurate and this game is only about 50% announced... is that promising? I mean, I don't remember all the specifics to Heavensward and how much they had to announce/add, but on purely surface level with no actual comparison other than gut feeling speculation, it seems like other than new jobs, they've more or less announced the same amount of shit so far as the entirety of Heavensward had with supposedly 50% to go (Of course that number still contains new jerbs).

There is a lot of details we are missing that could make up the "50% missing content unannounced"

• Second Job
• Gathering Adjustments - Underwater Gathering
• Existing job changes & adjustments (brd/war/sch to recieve major changes)
• Revamped & Skill allocation for sub classes
• Fourth housing area
• Second primal for launch(if any)
• Inventory Expansion Details - No information given other than "It's Happening!"
• Free Company Airship / Exploratory Missions Future
• QoL Adjustments
• Crafting Adjustments

[Fiye]

Don't forget details of Eureka.
Omega Raid Preview.
Dungeon Previews.

[Alkar]

They're supposedly revamping the cross-class system anyway, but if even not, RDM would definitely cross-class THM regardless and it's not like subbing CNJ vs. ARC vs. ACN would cripple the ability to support heal.


This is what I'm talking about. The first statement makes it clear that RDM is a straight DPS job, but then Yoshida seems to walk that back by saying that it would be "pointless" to make a version of RDM that does not retain "the essence of the job."

So maybe Yoshida thinks the "essence" of RDM is an offensive battlemage that only uses White Magic to deal damage?

I'm not sure why it has to be an extreme or the other. White Magic doesn't necessarily mean heals only or damage only (with wind/earth/water). For all we know RDM has spells with properties of both, dealing damage and recovering HP/MP status at the same time. The essence of RDM is to be an hybrid job and so far it seems to be just that.

[Prothescar]

rock remix of Ravana was um...

interesting.

[Fiye]

Koji can't do the Ravana voice.



Skip to about 21 minutes in where they talk about Ravana

[Ophannus]

Just realized Spiderman's colors are Red/Blue that could be more of a hint that both RDM and BLU are going to be realeased rather than Spiderman being itself a reference to a job directly as some thought.

Can't wait for barspells that do little of nothing for 8 years and then suddenly they provide a chance to make take 0 damage.

-Red Mage is pure DPS.

Let me guess: pure hybrid DPS?

quite clear indeed

Samurai Tank please

Dunno why everyone is so hard for SAM to be a tank. First, I'd rather they unfuck the balance between the three we already have before they add another. Second, what could SAM do that the other three can't already? PLD is meant to tank physical damage, DRK is meant to tank magic damage, and WAR does all of that better than either of them, on top of being the best DPS and the best crowd control. Where does SAM slot in there?

I want SAM to be a tank due to FFxI nostalgia. It was the best tank for a couple years there esp when Tachi:Shoha was released.

Second tanking is actually interesting. DPSing gets old fast. Rotations are fixed and even in savage content they don't vary much.
