(New) FFXIOnline interview

SE stated in a previous interview the new ToAU jobs will most likely be like all past advance jobs, lvl 30+ and do a quest to unlock it. I think it'd be stupid making it a higher cap, ToAU is releasing around same time as 360 FFXI, they want to attract new players, they won't make the new jobs some insane lvl or other requirements to unlock so the 360 new players have a chance to try them out too w/o investing too much time.
 
That's it! Gonna have to level Corsair to 60 by September 19. Why's that?

Tharrr, 'tis be "Talk like a pirate" day mateys!
 
Quoted:
"Q: Will monsters invade the city?"
"A: Enjoy finding out."

Finally. Chaos in Vana'diel. ^_^
One moment you could be making a sandwich, and the moment you return the city is getting pillaged and turned up side down with new beastmen causing aggro to everything in sight.

I wonder if it would be at schedule times for these raids or is it random?
Random is better.
 
Heh, seems to me it'll only be 1 zone of the new city, the "Dweller's District"
"Dweller District": Lots of humes. People with no citizenship and the old overthrown emperor dwell here. Menanced by beastmen.

I was sincerely hoping for another job that could "refresh" mp or a job that could "tank".

I'm tired of watching piss poor players level increasingly faster than others that try much harder.

People bail on parties that don't have a refresher in it.. or keep bad tanks or refreshers in their pt because it's so darn difficult to get a replacement. I'm lucky in the fact that I'm in a good static as a blm, and pretty fortunate with lfg as a whm. I'm just voicing what everyone else is thinking... (imo)
We need more tanks.
we need more refreshers
there I said it..

we do NOT need more DD's ... and in my opinion, we don't need any more support jobs either.

Jobs that can support: smn, rdm, brd

Jobs that can tank: Pld or Nin... or a really good War.

let us not forget that regardless of SE's intentions players make the job the role it becomes.

remember Samurai.. wasn't that supposed to be a tank ?
remember Ninja... wasn't that supposed to be enfeeble/dd ?
remember Warrior.. before the advanced jobs.. it was the only job that could tank, besides maybe a monk.
When was the last time you had a war tank in a pt post 50?

(but I was still hoping for Necromancer as a new job. Those of you that remember Diablo II LOD know what I'm talking about.)

so.... this being said.. let the controversy begin.

This talking about thier gun? Makes me laugh to think you have a gun you have to point at party members to provide support.

"Hold still... " /aims.

Although if I read this wrong, dont tell me. The idea will amuse me all day.

Lmao, that'd be pretty damn funny. But since it's a mix between a pirate and a gambler, more than likely the buffs are done through dice/gambling or such in my opinion.

Who's to say a refresh gamble move isn't possible?

Corsair is looking better and better.
 
Too bad they didn't just name the job "Gambler" though. And instead of having more guns in this game, should have given him knives and magical cards. I can understand the support role though, that makes sense.

And for the nay-sayers... at least Setzer had his own airship and got all the girls he wanted. Even if he had to kidnap them...

"Oh... Maria..."



/nerd rant

that would be to risky though, its gambling, theres always a chance to lose. im thinking that the gambling will deal the uber buffs, the other stuff will be some cool buffs that only the Car. can do
 
SE would be sentencing the job to death if it made the party buffs a gamble.. I know alot of people are already "OMGZ NO! FULL DEATH ON PARTY WTF GIMP JOB" I've already thought the more logical way thier gambling could be done would be to have the gamble part of the job Player VS. Mob only. That would make more sense to me.. Then again, that could also mess up hate incredibly no?

Karihkinz rolls some-uber-roll.
The Jormangund takes 9999 damage.
Karihkinz gets FACE'd.

I'm sure SE wouldnt doom a job to the pits of hell by putting them in such a catagory that they could possibly destroy a party or ruin exp incredibly with one bad roll of the die.(pun) But... who knows. Stipulation can only get us so far. I'm saving my opinions for when all the information is released.

And Deja? It is so scary that you posted that because I thought of that while I typed it. lol Great minds, great minds.
 
It'll never happen but...

I just keep having these visions of slots as the 2-hour. Instakilling everything in an aoe radius [Yes,please]. Even if it was a 1 in 1 million chance. It'd rock :O
 
Was just having a thought. They've added DD's, they've added tanks, they've added support jobs. When are we gonna get another healer? And what are they gonna make to complete with BLM?

Additional Skills/Abilities through Merits (which is confirmed is going to be released when ToA comes out) is going to change a lot of the current classes now. A lot of people will have a choice. "Do I make my current job even more badass or do I start over with one of these new jobs and skip out on it?" Right now Merit Points are good but a person with several merits in abilities don't really make leaps and bounds over a person without merits. The rumor is that the current jobs may get access to another tier of spells like many of the HNMs have now (like WHMs can access Protect/Shell V through merit points and BLMs will have access to their own tier V spells).

Now I know that doesn't answer your question for "another healer" or "compete with BLM", but it does make the current BLM & WHMs even stronger, which makes it hard to top.
 
Twille, it may be that blue mage might compete with blue mage.
Right now there is smn and whm for healing.... who's to say that blue mage subbing whm might do the same as our existing summoner.... I don't think we need another healer.. though I'm biased. I"m a whm /smn /blm mains...

... I still say we need another refresher and/or another tank.. we have enough dd, and enough support in my opinion...
