FFXIV Closed Alpha/Beta Discussion (Cancelled for this week)

[Skeptic]

Until I know ENF confirmed to be enfeebler I'm not gonna believe it
could just as easily be Enforcer and be the melee class for blunt weapons (Clubs, maces, etc)

WTF does an Enforcer do exactly?

[Kirb]

(Enforces)

If I said "enforce stuff" would you frown at me?

Other speculation, Machinist (MAN)? :D

[Falcon]

Enforcer is dumb, stop throwing theory into it. Let the people with the .dats sift and quit being idiotic.

No, I'd give you this

Machinist = Blah

Oh god.. PUP inc

[Lunarhawk]

You have to admit though Falcon, there's still no class for blunt/non-sword or axe melee weapons

[BRP]

DoM list seems lacking, that's why I say Enfeebler/Manipulator

There is no precedent for magic classes being equal to melee classes. Looking at Thaumaturge and Conjurer... all we need is a Bard-like job to cover basically every spell in vanilla FFXI. (SO BASICALLY, IT COULD GO EITHER WAY)

Use force. Enforcer is not an unknown name when it comes to RPG classes, if that is the point you are trying to make.

[ascalon]

Oh here's a thought: hearkening back to the very early interview SE did about the logo... anybody see any blunt weapons on there?

And also, underneath the lady with the red polearm: is that a pistol a guy is holding?

Bard could be Enfeebler in this case, no?

Enforcer = axe, its just not 1 handed but who knows. Maybe in an update they will let glads use 2 handers swords and Mar use 1 handed axes.

Machinist could also relate to something more high tech. We do know the empire has more technology than the other cities.

Dats, meant to post a few days ago actually..

Oh meh I mean to post a few days ago. Mehhh I was too busy fingerbanging my girlfriend to post it. Meeeh

F you. With holding this shi' from us.

[Lunarhawk]

In my mind enforcers are like guards and tough guys shit. The non-lethal kind. They usually have blunt weapons like clubs. I could be wrong though.

I'm hoping you're trolling.

Don't act like you're entitled to information.

[joxerthemighty]

enforcers were the main tanks in anarchyonline. still nothing that just screams "greatswords" or "katanas" or "blunt weapons that would actually be used for hitting things not just for channeling my arcane powers to kill things from 3000 meters"

[Malumultimus]

I think we can all agree MAN is Manservant, and put that behind us.

Seriously, though, what about Mandolinist? I'll miss the other possible instruments, but mandolins are where it's at.

[Dantrag]

Anyone who played Archer during the last test phase do me a favor and PM me I have a question.

[joxerthemighty]

man=mandolorians, SE got a hold of the starwars license to compete with bioware

[FREDTHETARU]

found a new one in the dats.

BCM = bacon mage.

[Lunarhawk]

Would be way too overpowered fred
