I need to try it I suppose :)

Wait is this real? I'd probably play a lot more consistently if its fun.

I’m really curious how this is going to work. Seems like the UI is going to need a big revamp.

Now you can take it door to door

Not made by SE, they are outsourcing it.

You know nothing bad happens when FFXIV gets outsourced!

Unfortunately this is a separate game from actual FF14

i kind of hope they will use this to springboard the revamps for the job skills -- right now almost every job is experiencing massive skill bloat and a lot of resources are one dimensional (i.e. SCH has a fairy gauge but it only has ONE spender and half the time people forget to use it)

juliesayshello.bsky.social•106 days ago

there's kind of a schism in 14's design right now where there's pretty much one "best" way to play each job and everything aligns to the 2m burst. however, this ends up meaning everyone is beholden to that burst window because having things not line up to it is a big detriment.

this has further effects on encounter design where enrage timers are factored into relying on folks doing this window relatively well when running on week 1. it stifles both encounter and job design because everything is so reliant on the 2m window being well aligned for every job.

add onto that you have jobs that have rather one dimensional resources and it leads to one optimal way to play the job -- which furthers the whole "tune to expect some understanding of optimal".

it's a nasty little feedback loop in game design.

would having desynced/syncopated CDs across jobs fix this? i don't think so entirely -- people would still math out the optimal comps that lined up for the fight timers and then prefer those in progression settings.

but it would give a lot more space to differentiate the jobs - which is needed /end
