Altana Festival in Osaka: Super Ultimate Complete Guide +1

[BRP]

I think you are missing the part where more and more things are looking like exp. It's basically been said there are jobs that can hold there own in any situation. It is not balanced to have jobs that cannot.

[Xavier]

In a game where you are stuck on one class/job per character forever, then yes, balance is very, very important.

In a game where you can change your class/job at will, and eventually have every job available to you, balance isn't as important.

[Enpsi]

Gives you different difficulty levels while playing.

My only beef is, every job needs different / more abilities to make their niches more absolute. Compared to other games, were they have full lists of things they can use, we only have a hand full or less for each job.

[MaachaQ]

I was just wondering, which site did the Q and A come from? I can't find it on any of the JP sites I checked and wanted to see the original article so I could possibly clarify something for my LS. Not that I don't believe Elmer's translation, but some things just don't translate directly and I'd like to see the original.

EDIT: Found the info myself, here

Some people in my linkshell are convinced that there will only be 2 new jobs total with this expansion. This site about the Osaka festival seems to back that theory, saying that we'll have 20 macro books with one for each job. http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/...71105/god4.htm We currently have 18 jobs, which would mean we are getting only 2 new ones. I wonder if they made it clear at the festival that there would only be two jobs or if they left it open to speculation?

Sorry if this has already been answered, didn't see anything about in my readings here...

Q: So, is it correct to say you will be adding 2 jobs to Wings of the Goddess?
A: Yes, 2 jobs this time.

[Remyo]

the schedule for Fan Festival shows the end of the last day ending with a 1 hour special event. I'm hoping that is to announce a 3rd job. Fuck you guys I'm not believing there's only 2 new jobs.

They'll probably just announce new emotes. Exciting!

I don't get why people keep insisting there's going to be more jobs when SE said "only 2 jobs." There's nothing ambiguous about it.

[akoru]

I guess its depressing to hear that there won't be a third job, since it'd seem so perfect for them to release the last job at the convention, as they did with Puppetmaster.

[BRP]

In a game where you can change your class/job at will, and eventually have every job available to you, balance isn't as important.

Has it been admitted then that several jobs do require fixes but shouldn't be bothered with simply because they can be ignored with job change depending on the situation?

It isn't as important as the first situation, but it's still extremely important, at least in the group of the most important factors in the game.

Not everyone enjoys the idea of having multiple jobs leveled and being unable to regularly use their favorite. Some people even act on this by not leveling more than one job to 75(and yes, there are people with 1 job at 75, many infact). And quite a few with those with more than 1 75 did it solely for experiencing a new job and not to replace a previous one. There are those who feel downright frustrated at not being able to play the job they like(imagine a BST always coming BLM or a THF always coming WAR).

only 1 of the jobs sounds mildly interesting, plus I find it difficult to believe they would release all the good parts of the expansion and leave nothing for the biggest FFXI expo.

It doesn't matter if you find the jobs interesting or not, they said 2 jobs.

Why should they split the server update into 2 parts? because they're hiding something :3

[Sholin]

Why should they split the server update into 2 parts? because they're hiding something :3

Because they don't want the servers to die horribly from one huge patch at release?

Because they need to add the shit that won't crash someone for just existing (See: anything another player can do, WOTG related NPCs that will segue to the real expansion). A majority of the rest of it will be disk-specific and on the update day you'll see (duh) a far larger update for people with the expansion as opposed to the people without.

[Lordshin]

Special Event: They announce that There is no WotG... and they're sending you CD's w/ hot Galka-on-Galka hentai/pr0n!!!!!


=/ i really hope SE surprises us at the fanfest... because honestly... what can they show us at the fanfest that will blow our minds? like PUP kinda did xD and how Scholar did in Osaka

[Mrcloudz]

Me too. Bricks will be shat if, like, they show a video of a Dancer dancing and a Scholar... Grimoire'ing, lol, and then, in the distance, someone is seen riding a chocobo. The figure draws closer, and closer, until the man riding the chocobo is revealed to be simultaneously holding a weapon, and then,
Fan girl: "AH MAH GAWD IT'S A CHOCOOCABOCABO KNIGHT"
And then,
Dorky announcer in voice akin to ToAU's "INTRODUCINNNNG THE PUUUUUPPPPPPEETMASTEEERRR": "INTRODUCIIINNNNG THE CHOOCOOBOOOOOO KNIIIIGHT!!"

A man can dream
