Hi. I'm kind of passingly reading this thread. Interested in the topic, but this! stood out to me
Does... Does it need to be stated that all fantasy material is largely based off of real life concepts, and typically considered bad form when it strays too far outside of the laws of reality?
Just because it's actually done in a video game doesn't automatically mean it's a good idea. And just because it's being done in the MMO that you're currently RPing in, doesn't mean you're forced to adhere to those crazy stupid fantasy laws. I know I don't. :>
Anyway, on topic. If we're talking classes, I'd really like to see Blue Mage in at some point. Done in a way that doesn't absolutely blow hard. Don't really care so much about the weapon of choice, but more the ability set to learn and master abilities from other monsters and shit. Could be a cool idea, right? Totally was in FFXI. But, you reeeeally had to work for that shit, and it was rewarding as hell. If they implemented it in FFXIV, they'd really have to reconsider how their class quest structure is done. Less... "I'll hold your hand and just give you everything, just cause." mentality.
Weapons wise, I'd like a wider array of firearms, I think. Hand Canons? Flame throwers? Bolt action rifles? I dunno. I just think with the progress the world has made, we could afford to take a couple more steps forward with our weaponry.
Also, FUCK. Obviously said to sound more civil!
