Stop liking what I don't like
no.
New Zones
New Zones
no.
Here's to hoping these files don't end up being a bust, would be nice to see new areas on ffxi that aren't just remakes of previous zones/all use same music ~.~ aka abyssea
Maybe these new zones are suppose to be where we get to play as beastmen.
wait. they're adding new jobs to the game?

Seems to be the belief. Or people want new jobs at the very least and hoping they will come with the expansion.
I'm personally not expecting the play as a monster thing to be much more significant then pankration.

Don't forget that about six months ago SE hired about 12-15 new developers in Japan for FFXI. There was no further information as to what they would be doing but I doubt they needed 12-15 people to revamp the UI and create voidwatch mobs, this sounds like it can be something as grandose as new zones.

Have a link to that? Generally never heard they hired more people.

Chemist is the job I'd want the most. For anyone who played the GW2 beta or has been following it at all, I'd like it to be similar to Engineer, with elixirs. Temps could regenerate through traits, and mix could be an ability to mix the temps into a different elixir. You could throw them for damage, use them for buffs or anything else.

yup :) I've always wanted a chemist job. Being able to mix a potion and remedy together to make a new concoction that healed and removed a status ailment sounds fun. Preparing potions ready for a fight and then continuously mixing through battle until you have the correct elixirs for the situation at hand. Being able to use the traditional damaging items from FFIV for elemental damage. I'd love it. Doubt it will ever happen, but I'd love it.

I don't mind if they won't add new jobs at all actually. If they do, cool, if not that's OK too, new zones to play in and explore for a month.
The dynamic of having a new job added is always fun however. Fun that lasts a good long time as you learn what to do on it, the best merits and gear for it, and optimal situations to use said job along with solo capability (if possible).
However, I do feel that adding jobs this time should be unlike the jobs added in the past-- they should be "complete" jobs, and have all artifact/relic/mythic/emp armor and weapons added at the same with, along with merits. The current playerbase will have no patience to wait for those things to be added months down the line.

lol i must not have seen my mistake Oz lol. and 2.0 isn't just a "patch". Utterly hilarious if think that's all it is.
If they added a new job it would be the highest played job for a few weeks til everyone capped it out/skilled it up to blue. Wouldnt be that great of an entrance imo. Havent they always added 2 or more jobs at once? This would make it slightly better. But either way, Im all for anything new, especially something thatd take more than a week or month tops to accomplish and be a significant upgrade, rather than more side-grades or situational macro pieces. Actual, relic/mythic/empy armor/accessories that competes on the level of the weapons???? Speaking of which, more inventory prz.
Dang it, I'm gonna get topic banned for talkin about 14, even though it was in response to somebody else lol
There will be blood
there was someone who made a writeup of a chemist concept years ago, it was really good looking too, i'll see if i can find it.
edit: found it.

That sounds mad cool, I'd still love a mix job ability though, mixing multiple concoctions is such a chemist staple.
Chemist would be the only reasonable new job to add, as everything else is pretty much already covered(maybe morpher, but it's a stretch already).
Either way I think new jobs are the least realistic of our expectations.

Geomancer too! Would be hard to implement in this game probably, but it would be a cool addition

Hmmm I wonder if the new "Play as a Monster" is how the job Mimic will play for FFXI.
Cerberus.Tikal said: »
Even if there were new jobs, everyone will have them 99 by day 2. Leveling a new and fresh job isn't even fun anymore, and just adds balance issues.

SCH includes geomancer, what with storms and helices.
calculator?
Morpher, Geomancer and Chemist traits could all become aspects of the already present BLU, SCH and THF/COR classes respectively.

thats good because there is no basis for believing SE is even thinking about adding a new job to XI.

I can't see anything in that thread that indicates how many people were hired. Where did you get that 12-15 figure from?
