I don't know why someone thought it was appropriate to provoke me into an argument this morning. This Monday morning. Now I'm coming into work all riled up and anxious and I hate it.

Also I was so angry I left my phone behind at home because I needed to disconnect that badly from this person still begging me to continue the conversation so it could feed into the argument even further.

@iota

iirc you learn skills and then you decide which skills to take with you into battle, so BLU was very much a moveset sort of Job in FF11. So it's not entirely undoable in FFXIV, I just sort of expected them to follow the SMN path; job quests have you learning moves from mobs, and then you keep those skills in your repertoire for use. 

Also, FF11 BLU was very Thavnarian themed!

@iota

BLU being DPS didn't bother me. BLU being basically "Diadem: The Job" was what really ruined it for me. 

_{Note: It's far easier to implement DPS classes because the tank jobs we have right now are still imbalanced, and let's not talk about how it's going to take quite a few reworks on making new healer jobs feel "different" but still "the same"... it's not that i don't like tanks or healers but I understand that it's just sooooo so so much easier to balance a DPS job than those other roles...}

I think they're doing this deliberately by veiling it as an "intentional" decision; it's anything but. I highly suspect they're releasing it this coming patch 4.5 to test out how well it would perform. Honestly, I don't have high hopes for it. BLU is dead on arrival to me. I don't think I would even consider leveling it.

I'm going to be the odd one out and say, visual/aesthetics-wise, I hate the artifact armour. It looks too foppish for me. Give me back FF11 BLU.

I feel like there’s a bit more in the lore book but like... again it’s locked behind a $30 purchase so it’s not like it’s readily accessible...

I’m sure there’s more information regarding the sub races but it’s not by much of a large margin. Then again it’s not important (to SE) bc it’s not seen as dev work being allotted towards actual game content so I highly doubt we would get more in a reasonable amount of time... maybe one day Koji Fox would pen down more details for us!

You got me there! /shock/

HELLO BOYS AND GIRLS







- BLU coming out 4.5
- Gunblade basically confirmed via trailer

I just want the goddamn trailer music by itself. That sweet, sweet, guitar riff is making me have the trailer on loop.
