Choyi posted:RIP healers, and with that possibly the end of what used to be a fairly healthy end game scene, it was fun while it lasted, can't help but feel expansion looking worse for every bit of info released. I understand people may feel disappointed when expectations don’t align with reality but posting hyperbole like this is just loving stupid.

PLD has stronger burst healing, Sheltron should be mildly stronger than GNB's equivalent, and PLD has a portion of their rotation that can be done at range and on the move.

Kotaku interview with Yoshida. Some interesting excerpts: https://twitter.com/purrmaid/status/1133805480516542465 https://twitter.com/Ayveree/status/1133801836736126976 quote:You may be familiar with the [Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade] where we had a Final Fantasy XIV float participate. After that event, players in the Korean regions were very uncomfortable with it and people made complaints about now wanting to see that. “This is disgusting!” Things like that. It’s been very tough. For some reason I never thought of Korea as the kind of place where there would be that kind of backlash, but I'm also ridiculously ignorant of it.

Cabbit posted:Kotaku interview with Yoshida. Some interesting excerpts: Gonna break from the healer sadness to say YoshiP really is a good guy. I know we'll probably see people having joke weddings or pictures being like "oh wow look at these burly roe men in dresses ha ha ha" but, like...for the people who still want that sort of body, even reflected in game, but still wish to express themselves with feminine attire, or vice versa for masculine attire, this sort of news is really uplifting. like, yeah, there's a certain degree of joy in that you can choose the kind of body you want in a online experience - but that makes it so binary and leaves some people in the cold, and I'm glad he and the dev team recognize this. Small hope they address pronouns some day but that probably has understandable logistical issues. Also yeah, kind of anecdotal but my mother's side of the family is South Korean so I vaguely pay attention and LGBT rights there in general really weren't a thing until like, "within the past 9 years" levels of recently. Like in the most recent election even, only one of seventeen candidates supported homosexuality, let alone the rest of it, and the president's stance, whom is a member of what could be considered their progressive party, is that gay soldiers could undermine the military. it's kind of a really sad state of affairs.

PLD still has its spread out long rotation, GNB looks like it focuses it in that 6 button combo it can do every 30seconds coupled with their self buff. Cover losing its damage mitigation doesn’t effect its main role of cheesing targeted abilities, and the defense buff plus regen serves different situations than clemency. It’s surprising that the GNB invuln has the same cooldown as hallowed. It’s effectively not much different, save that healers need to do something during that 8 seconds or before the next instance of damage. Honestly aoe heals might cover it, but it depends on mechanics.

Yeah I like the message and I don't doubt that yoship is a cool guy but the contrast between this and "check out Dancer and its very divergent male and female AF looks" is kind of a head scratcher. At least they're going to be opening up tuxes and possibly the wedding dress?

BrightWing posted:Not to distract from SCH chat, which is important, but anyone else get the feeling that GNB is PLD but better? On the contrary the pieces they've added to PLD's kit have made me want to get it leveled even more, now. PLD's now a tanky-rear end proper magic knight doing magic knight things, the new AoE options look super dope. Honestly I like how all the tanks ended up looking for this. DRK losing Dark Arts makes it less fiddly overall which might be enough for my brain to handle properly since I couldn't get my head around it before, and that fiddlyness being confined to a single 30s combo chain on GNB means I like that class even more. Lord help me, 5.0 is when I become a tank main.

Was there some kind of mechanic for RDM in the live letter where they were penalized for moving by their mana gauge being depleted or did I hallucinate that? Also don’t get mad at healers for complaining that their brain dead job is getting more drain dead.
