Hya hya foowah!
he's gonna block an attack with his left arm and the monster will be like ????, and then he'll summon a giant magic sword to impale the monster and it'll reveal he's just a PLD who's using the invisible shield glam to match his vacation look.

then he'll job change mid-combat to the new job

On the one hand, I kind of get the fear of poor handling given that the framing of "discovery" of the "New World," the idea of vacationing in exotic locales, and preoccupation with the Golden City all have bad history behind them. On the other hand, the devs' track record is pretty good wrt similar subject matter.

The whole bit about the Scions getting divided makes me think we're going to have an Orzammar kind of situation (two deadlocked factions looking to succeed the throne and wanting support to tip the scales), but the Scions will split up to help both sides instead of acting as a single kingmaking foreign power.

Valentin posted:

frankly food is so thematically important in FFXIV it would be pretty hosed up not to show the scions taking in some local cuisine. however, it would be cowardly not to acknowledge that their diet of fishloaf, pizza, and burgers has left them critically vulnerable to any food with even the slightest actual flavor or spice. tough needle to thread.

It would be very funny if the entire gang gets knocked flat by spice--except the WoL, who was prepared by experience with Zero's Special Curry in the 6.X patches. :c00l:

Last year me is vindicated in thinking double DPS was likely for 7.0, they just haven't really altered their trailer job choices, and it still seemed early to me to drop a new Tank. It may be a consideration from now on with Striking/Maiming/Scouting as separate categories for role balance rather than just Melee DPS. And yeah, Duty Support existing should do a lot to sand the edges off the Stormblood Queue Problem (which really didn't take all that long to normalize, maybe a month or two at the longest).

i think the main reason they dont go right back to tank is because doing tank and healer alternating would add way too many tanks and healers.

I will only accept Pictomancer if its core ability breaks the game and deposits a bunch of random items in your inventory and deletes your chainsaw.

Was thinking it would probably have positionals that were like "Potency increases the further away from the target you are, up to X at Y yalms" and then have lots of moves that jump you in and out

They would be cooldowns and not combo moves to prevent another Fleeting > Forked Raiju situation

Also it'd roll random small buffs for itself, kind of like AST where you have a desired outcome that you don't always roll but you roll it often enough that it averages out

Potentially world-ending monster jail story is very different from beach episode tournament arc, so probably can't draw many conclusions based on that work alone.

They said they want to give the Warrior of Light the best summer vacation ever, so I'm kind of hoping that theme sticks through all of the elements of this expansion (raid series included). Just 2-3 years of FF14 vacation time in various ways. And when the next expansions come out and new people play through it, it'll seem crazy that this relative blip of a vacation lasted for so long for current players.

Post-Shadowbringers is the only part of that I recall being ehhhh (well, 5.4 - 5.55 at least), so that's a pretty good rap sheet.
