Real promathia news? Take with grain of salt, please.

The SMN stuff sounds nice, but then we'll just find more people BEGGING for help on summons rather then actually going to figure out the crap for themselves and having friends ingame help them out -_-

Yeah this is kinda why I love the level 20 solo fights 8)

That THF /ja about amplifying the experience if that is the killing blow seems a little far-fetched to me, but it is often difficult to time a killing blow (as you have other bloodthirsty party members), and would definitely raise the desireability of a THF post 60 (assuming it's a higher job ability) over the sub /THF.

If it is true, I think the battles will go like this:

Right when the mobs HP gets to almost zero, the rest of the PT will sheath weapons and let the THF finish the job. My work friend/FFXI friend Myihta (lvl62 thf) feels the same way. I told her not to get her hopes up, but that light is sparkling in her eye ^^

Enough to make a Samurai wet herself ^^

/em sighs dejectedly over the fact that she has to buy it for ps2 and pc

I'm with you! Not the wetting yourself part, but buying for PS2 and PC.

Myihta is one of the coolest ppl I've me so far!!! Tell her I said hi ^^

I can't even tell you how excited I am for the new THF abilities! God, I hope it is true!

Well dont mind me maybe insulting you a bit when I say "go to hell".

SAM has Third Eye and Meditate, and one high weapon proficiency. Thats 2 toys to play with, compared to DRK's 6+. The jobs serve very different purposes, but having other /ja to toss out or 'play with' would go a long way to make it more exciting.

Tons of jobs a lacking in breadth of abilities... but you Melee/Casters have a ton of shit to do. So im just a little irritated by the 'been there done that' comment.

Now guys after reading this on about 6 different forums I have taken in some very good points about this news and here is my conclusion:

To be honest with you guys it sounds like a JP wishlist that some one tossed together to cause thread jackings. The person to post this also probably took his time to make it look legit so it would make people instantly think "Woah! holy sh*te"

If you think about many JP fansites probably have sections just like this http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=29 And all the guy had to do was skin through a few different forums and threads and change them a little bit and there we go! I have personally read through alot of these "Wish" posts and seen some very interesting ideas that would work well for something like this.

Again this is my theory of it and if I am right the guy is probably sitting in front of his computer laughing at how gullible we all can be and planning out how he can brew up some more chaos. Anywho I am done with my babbling.

Though some of these things would be pretty sweet to see.

lol Otay, not offended. I just came off learning MvC2 before posting so excuse me for comparing this game. :/

Hmm well i guess my only complaint now is that there's no abilities to use to make fighting easier when i'm soloing something that still hits pretty hard and can interrupt magic. Anyways..

Im not saying that this will happen, but THF has a huge problem getting partys post level 60. Most partys opt for the XXX/Thf over the Thf/XXX. This could be squeenix's answer to that. If that XP ability is in fact added, it will make a demand for thf main job post 60.

I kinda wish they would add another job ability to BLM, we have job traits out the wazoo, but only 1 ability other than our 2 hour...

-Ham :shock:

 

[OniTatsujin]

you've got a million(ok maybe not a million) spells to choose from, why would you want a JA?

 

[Lokkin]

cause the JA's we have are so crap it makes a SMN seem like a decent tank?
