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

[Kirb]

Any chance you'll find abilities for new classes or do you think you would have come across them already?

This. I'm quite curious as to the roles of MYS and ARC. Would be fantastic if anyone could dig up any possible info.

[Ashton]

Seems like nail=fist weapons. Makes a loose degree of sense.

Yeah it brings a bagh nakh to mind (a weapon mimicking animal claws)

They aren't in the game yet. The names are currently just placeholders, likely for coding reasons.

What in the fuck.

Who let the Alla+KI floodgates open?

[Chakra]

holy shit, why are you still posting? (Basically: who gives a fuck what he thought or why he thought it? Why argue about it now?)

EDIT: Mods are such shit.

I'm just going to slap you around with my dick and call it Fencing then.

You win this Page.

Sonomaa picked the wrong person(s) to be a mod.

[Malumultimus]

So, this makes 8 Warriors and 8 Crafters.

As well as 4 Mages and 4 DoL, with the mysterious MAN still up for speculation.

Mage fans, I wouldn't give up hope on anything, as I'm sure there'll be 8 by launch.

Fred approves this message.

I thought you died, getting back on AIM, lol

[Cairthenn]

Should make me a mod, I'd have a damned multiple personality disorder.

I'd have to post info and then clean it up. You'd all think I was insane.

Can't say I really want 8 Mages, unless they have some drastically different roles.

[bluefan]

Even if the game was done in a Japanese style/setting. That still would not make any sense.

This is where the translation between Westerners and Japanese locals at the time become funky. And where cultures clash.

Fencing in the European countries, and most of America and many other parts of the world, see fencing as people wearing plain, white garbs, mesh helmet and wielding either sabers or foils. The Japanese "fencing" is kendo, which is based on the old style of Japanese fencing called kenjutsu. Both literally meaning "way of the sword".

It makes perfect sense if you know the meaning behind the word for both cultures. The Japanese word for "fencing" is kendo, and vice versa. Though I myself think we won't see a samurai or ninja class before launch, this keeps the possibility open.

I doubt that. There are heaps of different weapons/ways to beat the crap out of a mob using physical damage, but there are only so many ways to do it with magic, especially since the 2 released already can do it all.

The two new ones are likely a buffer and a debuffer. Also, I doubt they will have 28 classes at release, thats just insane for balancing a new game and doesn't leave much room for growth.

Can you make a new thread where you post your .dat findings and only that. Perhaps ask a mod to keep it organized and clean so it isn't flooded with rats like this thread? (Technically .dat information isn't Alpha discussion anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem.)

[Skeptic]

Core has new info on main page cry babies

I've said it before but I doubt any class not announced already will be in at launch. They however might be putting stuff in already for future classes just so it's there to make implementing them in patches a few months after launch easier.
