Me when I die: Bathroom break

Endwalker was my 1st experience in the game and this was my 1st Final Fantasy of any kind. Never saw any movies, clips, trailers, or any other media about FF before playing other than seeing a few minutes of Asmongold making a character and reading about him and others liking it a lot. I ended up picking a different DC and server so as not to be on the one Asmond was on (I spent 15 years in WoW and I just happened to be on the server where Asmond started before he got there and once he transferred to another server it got a lot more relaxed so I figured I’d avoid it this time) and within an hour I decided to buy my daughter and I the full game and expansions and I never went back to WoW…not even to empty my mail on my 13 characters. I was 6 of 13 characters deep on getting all my 252 items from Korthia and had planned on finishing them all but FF cut off the copium so fast it made my head spin. I now have all my healers and tanks 90 and am getting close on DPS…easily the best gaming decision I’ve ever made, WoW literally made me a worse person and since switching it feels like a load has been lifted off of my shoulders. I recommend it fully to everyone!

I always like the idea of getting new alternate jobs based on the original classes; like Marauder can level into both Warrior (TANK) and Barbarian (DPS).

I didn't play final fantasy until ffxv back in 2019. I was familiar with ffvii from advent children but hadn't played any of the games. Then I played ffx and finally got into ffxiv. It was my first mmo since runescape which I played casually.

Coerthas and Northern Thanalan FATE parties were honestly so damn fun!

I remember during 1.0 the plan was that Gladiator would somehow through the use of Stances adopt a defensive stance or a two-handed offensive stance. There we no plans for jobs back then so I assume they just meant stances/buffs, even though I distinctively remember them talking about holding the sword with two hands. Of course 1.0 had a ton of plans that fell through the cracks and while the Papa Yoshi team worked with a lot of what they gave them, some was just swept under the rug.

The job description on the character creation screen makes wielding a shield sound optional.

Hot take time. I think we're due for a major leveling overhaul in 7.0. First off, a level squish. Too many levels, not enough stuff unlocked between them. Second, everything from ARR to EW is neatly wrapped in its own storyline, but whatever story they go forward with next expansion will be immediately available to new players and veterans alike. The current system is friendly to people new to MMOs, but they need an alternative for veterans that have been playing MMOs for decades and want to jump right into the action. Getting to level 30 to unlock a job is just too much, try 1-10 conjurer, 11-50 white mage. 7.0 is the perfect chance for them to rework all of this as they start off new storylines.

I think they should just overhaul the job/class system as a whole. Most classes should just start as what they're going to end up. Black Mage, Warrior, White Mage, and Summoner for prime examples. Stuff like Archer and Gladiator should be spun off into full viable classes for max level while Bard and Paladin are unlocked as their own separate thing when you get any class up to 30. Similar to how you unlock jobs that start as higher levels. This could also happen with Scholar as it really only shares Raise with summoner these days. The idea of a blank slate new story to start out as would be pretty cool, and I've got an idea how it could happen. What if through some more time travel shenanigans, the Kairos is used to wipe everyone's memory of us being the Warrior of Light, kind of like what happened if you played 1.0. This way, everyone gets the same blank slate.
