Wait, I'm confused... In the Polygon interview, Yoshi-P said that the new jobs will start from level 1. But in this Reddit interview, he says they definitely won't. Perhaps the Polygon interviewer just heard him wrong? That or Yoshi-P be trollin'.
People have been talking about mistranslations so it's possible (very likely) that the Polygon interview is... :/

I've noticed that European players in particular tend to get screwed over quite a bit when it comes to finding opportunities to tackle some of the higher end content due to time zone differences, a scattered community, people being in completely different social circles and existing raid groups generally being filled up very quickly.

We really do. Sad Most raid groups are 1am+ (GMT+00) so I gave up finding a suitably timed one and stay up half the night instead.

Another interview. The big thing of interest here is just a hint of what Astrologian will do. Card drawing will be a part of the class and you can then use the drawn card for buffs/healing or hold it to combine with another card later for greater effect. It sounds like NIN's mudras but maybe with more RNG. He didn't outright say there'd be RNG or not, but that kind of is the essence of drawing cards. I just hope the cards are a 'bonus', and not something to lean on.

I don't want a healer to be a slave to RNG in progression content.

Quote:You may be familiar with Dark Knights sacrificing their HP from previous Final Fantasy games. We may want to take that element in consideration for Final Fantasy XIV, but there may be certain elements that do require that. But that will not be the main focus of the actions the Dark Knight takes because it is a tank and if you’re sacrificing your HP that might not work so well.
That last sentence though.... its pretty much how I described that mechanic XD

I actually don't get the impression of AST being anything to do with RNG, instead it sounds more like they can stack effects the more cards they draw, so like you could draw one card and use it for a small heal, or you could draw two cards and use them for a bigger heal, or you could draw two cards and use them for a small heal and a buff. I don't think the cards you draw are randomly generated, I just think they have specific cards that serve a certain function and when combined have different effects (similar to Mudras) and it's up to you to decide if you wanna draw one card and go for a small heal, or hold out and draw more cards for a larger effect.

RE: Several Interviews stemming from PAX - Zyrusticae - 03-15-2015

I'm a little concerned about how all this FC crafting stuff is gonna work out in the long run. Hopefully small FCs won't be penalized too heavily if they don't have a stable full of 4* crafters available to work on stuff. Judging from the things they've said about what they want crafting to be like in Heavensward, I don't think I have too much reason to be concerned, but, well, I can't shake that feeling after what crafting turned into for the 2.x series.

On a more positive note, Machinist being Black Mage Lite makes me quite happy. I'm going to really enjoy pushing out those huge damage numbers. I'm quite good at it, you know. Smile

Part of my hope is that as Airship-Housing happens, we'l get some free spaces on the ground. Or perhaps they'll just open up more slots so you can have a 'chunk' of people on the airship in Ishgard ( a chapter as it were), and a group on the ARR areas as as well.

What he meant is, 'that interview is sexeh'. 

Soooo much good stuff there.

RE: Several Interviews stemming from PAX - Kellach Woods - 03-20-2015

I definitely agree. Just the step from Supra to Lucis is a step in the right direction. Far less dependent on RNG. If that's the direction they want to take with end-game crafting, with the specializations, I'm sure I'll find something I want to specialize in.

As much as I want it to be Blacksmithing, I'm thinking Culinarian.
