I just want to hear Yoshi tell Bards and MCH to git gud like he did to people when everyone was complaining how hard Titan HM was back in the day.

Alright, thanks guys. Very, very helpful. Much appreciated especially since I've noticed people in-game are kinda rude when you ask questions...
Just one more thing. If I start off as an Acher and get that to level 30, can I still become a Black Mage if I level up Thaumaturge to level 30 as well? Or am I locked into becoming a Bard and nothing else? And how do you level up a secondary class? I assume I can't do it yet because my first is only level 21 right now.
You can definitely level anything and everything in this game, assuming you have the drive/passion to do so.
I do not. BLM for life!

You should be careful about what you say. Otherwise you may reap what you sow.

Tank got killed during the terrible dragon/sleeping dragon part forcing me to summon Titan and save the party from a wipe, from there on the healer and tank spent the rest of the dungeon bitching each other out. Meanwhile me and the ninja said absolutely nothing and just observed the two of them, they got so into it I had to summon Titan another two times just to force them to progress.
Damn why so serious.
Thanks, just saw this on the forums and was about to post it.

Who are you in game? Jade Arcana here
And yeah, generally in most primal fights, there will be something you have to do to not get OKO'd. Ifrit it's the Nail.
Also it's Emerald Carby being best for dungeons, Topaz is best for field/solo stuff. (Topaz = tank pet)
Need any help, feel free to hit me up if you see me in game
Yeah, it doesn't matter. It's really only used for frontlines. Some people even switch just to do all the missions/achieve max rank in each company.
Hey Stuart thanks for the advice. Kupo Kopo on Ultros

So Yoshi's response literally was to bards "git gud'
I love this man.

About BRD:
BRD's image was "a class that can attack while moving", which is useful during various fights where movement is required to deal with different boss attacks and gimmicks.
Minuet was basically put in to allow BRDs deal more damage when the above isn't required.
They made switching between stances etc. better in 3.01 and they're not planning to change BRD's playstyle - it'll stay as it is now.
Edit:
Huh, they're considering changing Enochian from becoming shorter and shorter when refreshed to a full refresh, nice.

Except the inherent problem is Bards have little to rely on when using the song like Machinist does when they do have to move. There is nothing wrong with Minuet itself, but what it's framed by is the problem.
Nice, adjustments for Enochian. It'll be nice to actually use Thunder during the entire rotation [and not just the first application of Enochian], but if they don't extend the Astral Fire buff duration, I can't see myself using the GCD on anything but another Fire IV/Fire I to keep up Astral. :/
What really needed changing, at least in my opinion, was an Astral Fire/Umbral Ice duration increase [to maybe 12-13 seconds] and not an Enochian extension.

Thank you. I knew they would adjust it, lol.

there you go Bards, get fucking good.

It's not really a matter of getting good. It's that WM is extremely clunky and the alternative (Machinist) has a pretty big edge using the same ideas.

BRB, leveling Machinist.

Yeah I think if anything that was more unwieldy timer.

Wow, Dragoon buffs. lol
god help the poor people who play Dragoon who are too fucking dumb to hit the boss from a certain side, let's make it less punishing!

Yoshida : Get Good Edition.
I love that complaints about most classes boil down to "it got more difficult
That said, it's an mmo, everything will probably reworked ten times within the next few years, like WoW talents.
Exactly. I'll come back when it's reworked again somehow, or it might even be forgotten by 4.0 (although I'll be back before then cuz I need that STORY)
Ahahaha. It really is the canon class!
Well that Ninja comment was interesting lol
To be fair, the penalty is pretty crazy and in some situations it would be harder if not impossible to pull off in fights.

To be fair the positional requirements aren't even always possible.
I dunno if you play DRG but pulling off perfect rotations in HW is kind of a clusterfuck if anything significant occurs.
I dunno if he went into specifics but the reason the step 2 and 3 combo moves do 100 potency in TT/CT is because you're meant to use them in sequence, but you're allowed to use them improperly.
FaC and WT do 100 potency if you aren't on the proper side, but you aren't allowed to spam these abilities - they aren't even usable until after your third move.
They could easily make the fail state 150 potency to make it fall in line with the potency of the lowest attack in the chain. Right now you either do ~490 damage at i180 if you mess it up, or you do 2100+ damage if you get the positional right. That's HUGE for something that isn't always in your control.

For the moogle question, he should have said get good, because forelands was way worse than the moogles ever were.

no, I play a MNK where every skill in my rotation requires me to hit a positional.
I have no sympathy for Dragoons who can't hit theirs. This is the one scenario where Yoshida's standard response of "get good" should apply.
God forbid Dragoon actually gets some complexity instead of /afk working through a rotation.
It's already the highest DPS class in the game because of the sheer buffs it got in HW. Now it's becoming easier to play?
:lol
Yoshi-P looked genuinely stressed during that question, haha. He probably hates Moogles now.

Huh the broomstick quests weren't popular? I thought those were interesting.
Nah, that was pretty simple once you found the 2 caves. Enjoyed the chocobo hunters arc.
I like them, but they're a little pointless when you can just Google them. I like that kind of idea for side quests though.
