It does if you want to keep out other bonuses and conversely means everyone else knows who the bonus is.

Just bought and downloaded the game. Ironically a recent episode of McElroys Monster Factory on Polygon made want to try it. And my wife and I have a week with a lot of free time. Excited that this game has done as well as it has considering the start.
That's all pretty great. I'm glad to know there's more of that. I've making my way through HW now when I'm not leveling other jobs, and that made me wish I was also a dragoon. I didn't like that they took out cross class skills, as I thought it made leveling other jobs less rewarding, but knowing that the story actually reacts to your job quests, even if it's just a few lines of dialog, makes me want to work on them all again.
the same way ahegao mindbreak did
how did this name get through

Yeah, I don't actually expect them to do that. Which is why I was confused they even kept the original classes in the game after the revamp. They serve absolutely no purpose and it feels dumb to look at various interfaces and see needless clutter or oddball contrasts like Conjurer next to Red Mage.
XIII and XIV 1.0 trying to eschew their own franchise trappings was always goofy and that is a thing that should just be forgotten.
Trying to work in a few hybrids would be nice though. Maybe based off of marginal jobs that could be paired to mainline. Berserker, Mystic Knight, Geomancer, Time Mage, etc. Maybe just do one or two at a time, over time, to alleviate problem areas. I don't feel like every jobs needs a second role though.
Outside of the scope of the dev time, I imagine. They'll have to go back and redo a lot of things so it's another expansion level overhaul.

This is what I imagine, as well, I remember someone talking to Yoshida in an interview about revamping ARR areas for flying and I disliked that even being brought up. Anyone who experienced Cataclysm will tell you what an absolute waste of time that is unless something is truly ailing.
Although, I don't think that'd be too big of an undertaking, pruning base classes that is. The biggest part would just be adjusting quest texts. Either way, it isn't a big deal but it also a bit of an obvious change so think it's something that could go either way in the future.
I liked Cataclysm a lot, and much of my criticism of FFXIV stems from the fact that Yoshi and gang don't really go back and prune enough for my post-Blizzard tastes.

PUP in 5.0 or riot.
Her situation doesn't really improve in the patches from my recollection, which kinda sucks. She ended up just being a name I didn't recognize when they told me to go talk to her.

I'd love to, but I already got all the stuff and it would be kind of assholish of me to take this opportunity from another.

I've been leveling NIN (and MNK) before doing Stormblood, as I'm fairly certain their quest lines will be referenced. Should I work on any other quest lines? I got really lucky being a DRG going into HW, it made Estinien showing up all the better.

Head to the MogStation and check your account settings. As long as you have the full game registered and hasn't paid for a subscription yet there should be a button there to register the code.

Red Mages always being at maximum range away from the healer is approaching meme territory.

Finally got around to beating Stormblood, watching the credits roll, because that's how I roll. Last dungeon and final boss were fun. Though I felt HW final boss had more of an impact, I'm left with a little sense of "huh... it's really over."
For the patch stories I sure hope they don't over exert like they did in HW, too many plots and some were rushed
.
Man it's going to be hard to pick a main. I've gotten MUCH better with Samurai and want to give MNK a ride to 70, despite all the complaints I've been reading online. Not sure what to main, guess it depends if I really want to raid or not.
Then I saw the cliffhangers... hoo boy.

This annoys me to no end.

At the very least, RDMs can take care of themselves with Vercure if needed.

20GB update, eek.
Guess I'm not playing tonight.

Like the churn countdown dice thing with the bubble debuff?
Or popping orbs during the sword?
RDM should be stacked with the melee for max auto attack DPS anyway. (In content where DPS matters)
Story spoilers endgame
At least the xaela are cool. Azim Steppe was by far the best thing about this expansion.
Also after the final trial, I may switch mains to PLD. If fights going forward are as mechanic intensive as that or more, then staying DRG might take a toll on my sanity. I can't count the number of times I lost my eye stacks in that fight because of mechanics.
God Lyse did fuck all. And she took my credit! And Zenos died in the stupidest way possible. Why can't SE just give us the damn kill? And stop with this 'fuse into giant monster' crap, let me run the bastard through with my spear in human form. His whole spiel about the echo was a neat footnote in lore but the way they executed it was a complete waste of Shinryu. The scale of everything that happened has felt incredibly small and at the moment it's as if a couple lopsided skirmishes won back a couple towns, whoop-de-doo!

That's just Final Fantasy.
I absolutely hate in stories with a character villain trope that wants a challenge
but when they finally meet their match they decide to fuse with a monster or something. Its essentially putting in cheat codes or setting a handicap. No gimmicks, just a damn one on one brawl with your default powers against mine would have been more satisfying. If they wanted a full party fight, let me seriously wound the dude and in his last dying strength summom the beast, saying that its his final gift to you as a "friend".

I finally got to Idyllshire and just hit level 60 with my Paladin. Went from ilvl 137 and 13.9k HP to ilvl 269 and 34.4k HP. Feels good.
I bought a DRK potion since I want to hit things with a big sword though I have no idea how to actually play the class. Any tips? *better yet what should I use to pull a pack or 2 as a level 60 DRK. whats the rotation.
I hear Abyssal Drain is just better than Unleash. I feel like I should just stay in Grit as I just run Duties for the first time via MSQ/ duty roulettes. Also whats the best way to regain MP. This Dark side dancing and Dark Arts using is foreign to me.

Then I got Dream within a Dream.

So, we were looking at census stats in FC chat, and a few things stood out to me when I compared it to the last FFXI census (which sadly was 2014. They don't seem to do them anymore)...
TaruTaru was a LOT more popular than Lalafell. I joke about Taru being superior (they are), but the big difference in distribution surprised me.
Another big difference. Male/Female character ratio. Was nearly even in FFXI, but in FFXIV it's 58% male.
If you made it to that ledge, you've made the hardest jump in the puzzle (that one).
