LITERALLY MY FETISH posted:. Like, compare red mage to any wow class you'd care to name. It's still much more complicated than anything in that entire game. Wait what? What do you do with WoW classes if Red Mage. The job where you mostly react to procs to fill a meter to look rad is more complex than all of them?

Kurieg posted:Depends on the class, and with some of them you can talent into more complexity, but one of the main design goals for Battle For Azeroth was removing off-cooldown DPS Buffs. Unfortunately they also did this at the same time that artifact weapons, basically gigantic slabs of class complexity with an extra active skill attached, were removed from the game. Wow that sounds pretty dull. I'm glad that FFXIV still has some basic complexity. Even Red Mages have OGCD's to deal with.

homeless snail posted:Let's go back to just before HW when all we had to go on AST was a really sketchy translation of a live letter and everyone thought one of the cards would just be actively detrimental to whoever you gave it to. ...how did they think that would work?

Here's what you do 1) Make every card give a damage buff 2) Make the buff smaller since it will now have 100% up time 3) Give the Balance a new effect

SonicRulez posted:On the other hand, I love the FF series, but I don't know what they'd do for Fire VI and I can guarantee it would be incomprehensible. It's way more straight forward to just have numbers -da and -za are suffixes that have been used in past SE games.  So that's up to 6 already.

Ciaphas posted:I'm not sure coming back after a wipe (or indeed solo Returns) are considered "canon" the way dying and respawning is a lore mechanic in Destiny. (Actually, I'm not sure even Raise is considered canon? Or does the game just ignore the whole Use A Phoenix Down On Aeris thing) Any raid wipe is in lore the Echo telling the Warrior of Light what not to do.

Yeah ever since Heavensward they've been pushing more personality onto the WoL beyond a blank player slate. It's not a ton but there are very much people they like, dislike, they have their own opinions on things which can be shown in the dialogue options. Like that bit about the Warrior of Light going along with Yugiri's plan, it's because they wanted another shot at Zenos. Regardless of what you the player wanted.

Clarste posted:Isn't Meteo more traditionally a Time Mage spell? Meteor is more often Black Magic in games that have that classification. Also, Time Mage isn't actually that common a Job, it only appears in FFV, FFT, FFTA(2), and FF12 Zodiac Edition.

Overwatch Porn posted:why are people in this thread convinced that "removing TP" means "every TP skill will be free instead" Because there are two jobs that rely on the TP/MP split. TP is basically meaningless and can be removed without any real issue but MP matters with Paladin and Dark Knight and giving their moves MP costs would require completely rebuilding them from the ground up.

FactsAreUseless posted:Ah, okay. I played SCH in the past and just assumed it was cross-class The saga behind Miasma II is kind of amusing to me. It was once just an Arcanist skill, used as part of AOE. But then came Stormblood and the Great Skill Culing. Miasma II was removed from the game, part of the general consolidation of DoTs and AOE nerf. This was fine for Summoner because the job has tons of AOE. But then there was the Scholar. Miasma II had been basically its only AOE after Bane and Shadowflare. Dungeons became hell with Scholars because while White Mage and Astrologicans could Holy/Gravity spam mobs to death SCH was stuck with individual casts of broil. Naturally this lead to massive outcry by any Scholar player. So Miasma II was very quickly slotted back in as a Scholar exclusive skill with massive potency buffs.

Kerrzhe posted:what is a SaGa? Another series of RPGs made by SE. They're notable for being very experimental. Generally they're more Open World, and rather then leveling with exp or anything like that you tend to have a more free form leveling system. Also they're infamously obtuse revealing basically nothing about how they work. The series is the brainchild of Akitoshi Kawazu, who worked on Final Fantasy 2 which can basically be considered the ancestor of the series

Saigyouji posted:This was one of the big things that made 4.0 SCH suck so much outside of trials. Between the higher MP costs, tanks with garbage gear, and having literally no AoE except nerfed Bane and Shadow Flare, the 4.0 dungeons were a ridiculous amount of effort. Good news you'll have even less AoE come 5.0!

Perfuming Chocobos was hilarious and the best part of the pre-Shiva patches.
