It's stuff like this that makes it hard to believe Yoshida whenever he talks about features far off. It's not the first time he's backpedaled on something previously confirmed.
That said it's a good point, adding more and more unique egis will just make it harder and harder to balance them. They had a hell of a time just balancing Ifrit/Garuda against each other. Being able to glamor your egi into different forms is a good compromise. That also means they can add a bunch more, even during normal patches, rather than only getting one or two an expansion.

its alright
I really wanted them to add some more complexity to the Black Mage play style and it seems like they were on the same page. I can't wait to see how all that new stuff will interact with the setup as it currently stands. Fire IV looked amazing and you can't go wrong with Haste.
I'm also intrigued by the astrologian. Sounds like it could be pretty frantic juggling the cards on the fly to get the best result. I can't lie that I wish it wasn't a healer class though...

Are they adding new cross-class skills or can I leave my MRD at level 26?

So emergency tactics turns adlo into cure II, Indomitability is our cure III, sacrifice a fairy for divine seal...
Here's hoping e.t. gets localized into priest stance. *insert frumix rage*
Adlo+e4e bane is pretty cool, though.
More specifics here.
And, realistically, it's the only thing people even wanted? New pets for the sake of being different. Balancing a million pets is a nightmare and nobody could really figure out what new pets would even do. Just have Caster Pet, Melee Pet, and Tank Pet and give them skins or hats or whatever.

ill be too busy not playing this game to care at that point
we don't know as of right now
Just give them the shitty hats like Amon's marshmallow feather.
Man. People like you (aka The Worst) are the reason every other class gets some form of stack management and bards get "Just... stand there" as our major class change.

they didnt get their spell speed buff, so Im assuming all the heavensward gear will just be spell speed
gotta manage how many times your head nods while you're falling asleep when you just stand there pressing heavy shot over and over

The greatest hat I always roll low on ;_;
That's almost certainly still coming, alongside the promised skillspeed change, though? It's just not flashy enough/too complicated to break out on a liveletter.
There were probably massive balance changes to a number of stats that they didn't talk about? I mean, look at the HP and MP in the level-synced 54 trial. If Dread gear is supposed to be current up through mid-50s, something is very different there?
Just because they didn't mention it today doesn't mean they aren't getting it. The descriptions they gave were very brief and didn't even contain all the abilities teased, let alone their effects. Like... what are new Ninja's abilities even? Besides the enmity redirection skill? What does Assize do really? What's the Blood of the Dragon really like? And so on so forth. I'm pretty sure more detailed rebalancing data will come in 3.0 patch notes.

skill/spell speed now equate to health

Buff to ass size obviously. YoshiP heard our cries.
Imperium ave.
Both Paladin and Machinist still look so appealing!!!
I'm not sure how Paladin's will function with those new combos but if I don't end up liking the Machinist, I guarantee you that I'll go back to Paladin.
My ideal class isn't in the game either yet so at least decision making isn't all that hard. Hopefully they consider adding Beast Master later on.

OH I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT I WAS A NINJA. Make up your little pug-crazy mind.
There are definitely other Bardo things they didn't touch on, which is kind of disappointing.

she still believes you are a bard in the bottom of your heart. remember your roots!
That's like five years from now Kagari, how we supposed to wait that long.
If you are infact "The Worst", then you are in a perpetual state of awful. At any given moment you are whatever you need to be to be bad. This is why you can simultaneously be the source of bad bard news while being a traitorous ninja.
It's quite impressive, really.

certain ppl dont want me to heal so im going back to my roots of dying a lot and letting ppl carry me. sorry angary im taking your spot
You are. Your past association with bard has just tainted the class forever, apparently. GG.
It's also your fault Ninjas now have positionals.
It's fine. I'm just going to main fisher again anyway.

Great stuff for the most part!
I hope the next job they release will be a pet job because at this point they should just call Summoner something else. No new egis? Makes sense since they don't even know what to do with the ones we already have. It was funny seeing the new abilities trailer and have the pet just stand there the entire time not doing anything.

Yay, get to fight Titan again, this time with a Dragoon. Should be fun, not! Last time I struggled with it as a Bard, but finally managed.
I can't really argue any of this. The logic is sound. Maybe it's time to fly into the sunset and reflect upon the choices I have made.

you cant clear content on a fisher, silly. I expect you to be doing real progression in alexander. You already are talking about openers and fcob strats. Just move into your tower

I have exciting news! Put succor on your hotbar: aoe adlo! :O

I have unfortunate news, succor sucks
Edit: to be precise about why this is a big deal.
Critical adlo on a warrior can reach well past 3k at times. You are giving that to everyone in stack up situations. Vs a shit 700 shield or 1100 one if you critical on someone
No, DRK was only one given any explicit classes with MRD/GLD. I would assume CNJ/THM though for AST. ACN if they have 3 like normal jobs do, but if not then CNJ/THM are pretty much mandatory.
