Heads up, it seems Yoshida snuck in a possible level cap change coming before 2.0. It seems that 1.21 'might' (they are still discussing it internally) have a change in level cap (The patch that introduces jobs), but if it does he doesn't want to make it too large because he wants the gaps in players to stay similar enough for players the want to return in 2.0.

OH FUCK NO.
Apparently, Yoshida is considering changing the application of Dragoon in this game. They were originally slated to be a "high damage critical class with Jumping skills", aka a real fucking Dragoon, but due to "overwhelming fan response" on the live letter (aka FFXI fans crying), they may change them back to a weak sauce pet class.
I'm not happy. I really hope they don't do that. :/

Pet can go straight to hell. REAL Dragoons consist of the following:
1. A spear and armor.
2. Jumping high into the air.
3. Diving down from said jump and hitting people for a shitload of damage.
No goddamn pets.

Couldn't they allow for two separate builds? One specced for pet and the other specced for DPS?

This is what I was thinking, maybe when the pet is out your stength and attack (or damage maybe) would be split between you and your pet.
Personally I would rather not have a wyvern but if they are going to do it they should have 2 builds.
It's a little amuzing that last live letter there was loads of people asking for wyvern this week everyone is against them, this community is so fickle.

Something like that or have certain skills be accessible only when you are alone or something.
I'd like the customization be such that you could do: a solo build where you are very strong,
or a balanced build with DRG and pet sharing similar strength,
a pet tank build where you can have your pet tank while you DPS,
a pet DPS build where you can tank and your pet can DPS.

The whole purpose of pet classes in MMOGs is to facilitate soloing.
Nobody solos in FFXIV, all the content is group-oriented going forward.
What's the point of a pet class now?

So far the major things I want from FF14 is a better UI (menus within menus? no thanks), jumping so I can explore the world how I want it without feeling overly restricted.
Another thing that bugs me is like "oh do you want to do this move aoe or single target?" which is nice, but I'd rather always have it do aoe unless I specify otherwise. Another thing is I have no mana regen in combat, and it's slow out of combat. Additionally, manually having to enter combat is stupid, and there's no option I can find that disallows self clicking on your character (argh that pisses me off when I go to click an npc and click myself instead) instead of on your "portrait" (hp bars).
There's way too many situations when I'm playing where I go "wouldn't this be easier if they simply did this instead of the obtuse way they have now? oh wait this is japan..."

You would have committed suicide if you played this game at launch. Seriously. The UI we have now is a billion times better than what people suffered through at launch.
Jinko said:
A translation for the live event basically said that the fight would be a group fight. You don't fight one moogle but a team of moogles and each moogle will have a specific class to use. They intend to make this fight harder to get a clear pattern of winning and more on your feat strategic ability usage with party members.

Some thoughts:
Jumping: Meh. I'm not big on it, but I'm not opposed to it either. As I've mentioned before, if it's implemented in a contextual manner, that'd be best. Just some way to prevent mindless jump spamming, as that is a definite eyesore.
Magitek Mount: HELL. YES.
Other mounts: Meh. The Drake mount was pretty neat though.
LOLDRG: I'd MUCH rather have the classical jump-reliant high-output dragoons of old, rather than a pet class.

I just wished that jumping would have more start up, as if my character while running was actually making a leap forward. Contextual jumping? Get that shit out of here.
Gobbue Mount is pretty great.
Coming from a fan of XI and the Dragoon class I don't really mind the return of the pet. Truthfully I was ok with the way jumps were handled in FFXI especially since spike damage would easily get overran by simple DPS from a class like monk.

Seems that translation could be wrong ?
Rein translated it as saying
Guess we'll have to wait for the offical video translation.
