Now that the semester's finally ending my friends and I are planning to start this game anew with new chars. A couple questions: we have four people (so basically a perma-light party), we've designated who wants which role, but I'm curious as to how scholar fares as the healer of a light party.

Everyone should take advantage of that deal, especially if you want a cheap month of ARR!
Scholar is fine, but they don't exist until level 30, so you won't be able to heal until then.
Fundamentally they're screwed either way. Whether you get your gear in 5 weeks due to lockouts or 1 week without lockouts, padding content in between ilvl50-ilvl90 when most people can easily get or already have ilvl90 is a silly decision they never bothered to reverse. Even if you don't do CoB you already have myth tokens to get AF+1 gear.

not completely correct. While Scholar isn't available till 30 ARC gets physick (their main heal) right away and does fine healing in dungeons till they unlock their dedicated healing profession.
I started ARC about a month ago and took over healing in Satasha when the Conjurer dropped. Although if you use duty finder to enter dungeons you will be designated a DPS role, but if you've got a static group you can enter with ARC as your healer just fine.
I guess you could, but you'd be working a lot harder/healing for less than a conjurer with the +mind and maim and mend traits. Not a big deal in Sastasha, but it'll get progressively more difficult with each further dungeon. Toto-rak as arcanist would be interesting. You wouldn't have leeches and you wouldn't have the fairy, and you'd need to be able to keep up with the AoE poison still.

So for once the gamfaqs rumor was true.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as I never played another MMO. I'm not defending the week lock-out system, but isn't that what all MMO's are about? Grinding till your head explodes to keep you playing?

Reminds me of the xp penalty from 1.0
So about pure blood garleans:

Anyway, the whole CT situation sounds like the only way out would have just been to make it something to tackle after Coil instead of proceeding with it as planned...especially since i'm not sure how it ended up missing launch, while something taking place afterward didn't.
At any rate...time to take down Garuda. Well later today anyway.
I never noticed the third eye on Cid...but I guess he never took off his goggles (that you somehow gave him?) in 1.0. Is the third eye literal or just figurative, and happen to look like a sort of eye. I couldnt tell if it was a gem like lalafell, or an actual eye that had a blind color tone

We need to do a group photo of the FC.
I agree. Preferably as Lightning/Snow.
Because we can never have too much Lightning/Snow.

Actually, I really dislike his female costume designs. He needs to be kept in check.
What female costume designs?

e.g Ashe from XII, Miqo'te RSE in XIV.

So a whole lot of kitty Lightnings and Shows.
There will be at least one Hyur in there [me].
It might be difficult to see, though.
Which is really strange considering his FFT and Ogre series female designs. Then again, XII and onward probably represents him having more freedom, so you could be right.
Ahem.
If he steals a lot of aggro/bosshits with Topaz they should be fine. It's how one of my randoms got through Haukke Manor final boss after our healer d/ced 45 seconds in.

Good luck getting everyone online at the same time. Especially the ones who are unsubbed.
You're crazy man.

Random question. Is it okay as a bard in WP to constantely steal aggro from the tank because I'm spamming my AOE's like crazy? Or should I relax a bit and let the tank gain aggro? I don't know if it's annoying for a tank, but after running WP for 100 times I just want to it finish as quickly as possible.
PS: Eve, sorry for stealing so much aggro and pulling everything during our WP run yesterday.

It's annoying for the tank, or for the healer if you get hit, but it's the tank's job to hold aggro. But as long it doesn't slow down the run or wipe the group, it doesn't really matter.

Ouch, just saw that 2.1 news. I haven't been playing much lately and dropped out of my BC group because there's no incentive to level other jobs to 50. I realized this when I hit 50 BLM and got full DL. You can't do anything. What made it even worse is that I was doing BC as PLD and there was zero chance of me switching out to play DPS while all the DPS players got to change jobs willy nilly.
If PVP turns out to be terrible I won't be touching this game until 2.2.

Play Mage's Ballad and it shouldn't be a problem.

Does Mage's Ballad reduce emnity? Because the tank was a WAR so he was using Overpower mostly and the healers usually don't have MP problems.
Oh, dunno then. As a PLD I usually ask for MB since I have to spam Flash and I usually hold aggro well enough.

Aside from more endgame stuff and thangs to do, this game could really use more classes. Yeah, yeah, "they need to balance the ones we have," but there's really nothing else I want to level for a main class aside from maybe SMN. I'm holding off on leveling a tank because I'm hoping a new tanking class is in the works. How soon, realistically, will it be before we can expect to hear rumblings about more classes? Six months? A year? Longer? *Gasp*

I think we may get new jobs first perhaps with 2.3. New classes probably with a new expansion. And that could be in a year...
How was it with FFXI?

I hope we get DNC/NIN and a Final Fantasy V style Mystic Knight.
I want the Mystic Knight too. That, and the Red Mage (though I wouldn't be against a mix of both).

Blue Magic is the best magic but I think it would end up too good in this game.
Jobs were introduced only with expansions.
I need my FFXI NIN :_( Although it may not be the same seeing as how everyone can solo a couple of lvl 49 mobs right now. Loved soloing hard stuff with NIN on FFXI.

I wonder how the story will progress now. Don't tell me it will be through Extreme Primals. Many people haven't beaten Titan HM yet.
It bothers me that there is story content in Coil. How about people that can't find a group? They will never experience that story content.

That's terrible news. I really like Yoshida's art.
Amano hasn't been there for years but still does work for them, it should work out.
I hope.

FFV mystic knight wouldn't make sense without an elemental system in place on mobs.
I'd like to see them remade into a magic using tank. No game does this.

The only way the can salvage with CT gear lockout is once you get a piece of gear for job, you are literally locked out for said job you are on
So go into CT as PLD, get piece, now, you are locked out on it
If you go as BLM, you now have 1 gear of your choosing of that job or hell if you want to greed loot for your PLD (if the tanks dont roll need) grab it you get locked on that job
Repeat as many ilvl55-70 (average) gear jobs you have
So for CT I at least can grab 2 pieces
Might push others to go level up other classes, restart the whole cycle chain
The early level zones are fucking barren
0 people doing FATEs, I was collecting lightning shards/crystals for the gold axe in botany @ centeral thanalan, the frog fate popped like 6 times, always went the full timer
This is 4PM+ EST, nothing, not even 1person came to fight it
