o _o Stop feeling the way I did when I saw him.
I'm on skype I stopped talking mid-sentence and was like OMG.
Also he gets great points for them sandals and red socks.
I intend to meet him December 7th in Chicago when I get my VIP tickets :3
I'm going to be camping the box office when the pre-sales go on /crosses fingers
/super jealous.
I would have to fly to go see it. I hate living no where near anything fun anymore. I mean I would die to go see it. I have the CD's for distant worlds jam all the time to them.
I've been bugging the hell out of Arnie Roth's fan mail service asking if there's plans for a third DW album. I can only hope and wait at this point. All I have to say is it better have Roth's and Uematsu's musical duet of VI's Dark World.
But yeah, I'm totally breaking the bank and planning a huge extravagant trip to Chicago for the big show. Managed to save up nearly $500 for the tickets. Cept now I have the dilemma of picking who I take with me. Think I'll pick Keev...and!.... T-Pain.

Alright well that was lame, I hope tomorrow's new job is fun, and doesnt kill another job in the process. They are bound and determined to make RDM the least played job it seems.

Surprised that they're keeping RDM in the game after this tbh.

Stop giving me horrible ideas of maybe taking a trip over there when the time comes.
I would gladly shack up in a motel 8 50miles away from chi-town to see it.
Oh wait my sister lives there...

Would RDM have been much better off without the addition of Geomancer?

Okay so, how does geo not support RDM? In what way does it destroy it?

Probably. RDM as it stands is the sludge under SCH's boots. Geomancer just gave SCH a washcloth.

I'm going to be very disappointed if their only breath of life into RDM (if taken at all) will be higher tiers of their existing spells.
inb4 Bio IV, Dia IV, Refresh III, Dispel II, En-spell IIIs, Phalanx III, etc.

It does pretty much everything a modern day rdm does, except its new and shiny, and does it better.

It's taking away two of the things it actually has left in Enfeebles and Refresh as a start?!
Seriously though, if Mystic Knight is added they just need to remove RDM full-stop.

Don't forget that Geomancer will have Regain also.

RDM has difficulty measuring up to the capacity of WHM and SCH in virtually any aspect of their purpose. But with the aura like debuffs and substantially powerful positioning buffs and other aura buffs with minimal to no resistance, RDM is but a shadow of it's former self even more so now than it already is in light of GEO.

how is geo taking away anything from anybody when they specifically stated that all geo abilities stack? (btw sublimation + geo refresh = THE SEX now)

I was under the impression they wanted the two jobs to team up together to stack the effects, not have one replace the other.

If for whatever reason my friend ends up having finals or mid-terms and cannot attend, I'll bear you in mind lol. Also it's weird, last year I went with 5 of my friends, two of which both had sisters (and a place to stay) in Chicago. Small world eh?

I can see SE giving rdm something like hastega to say "here, you're still somewhat relevant"... it's not like they've never gone back on their word about something not being able to be done

Everything else will be even more unnecessary than it already is. Tbh even Geomancer will probably only be included for its attack buff, we'll have to see what kind of potency and buff types we're looking at though.

Oh yeah, I forgot geo buffs will be a completely separate entity from spell based buffs and will likely stack with others including JA based buffs. Perhaps SE needs to eliminate the sublimation and refresh conflict /shrug.

Couldn't they have just given geomancer stuff to RDM and not bother with adding a new job while making another job better and useful again?

I feel like geomancer's abilities would easier be given to SCH than RDM.

That may be what SE wants, but what will happen is that players won't want it to happen. IE: Favor a Geo over a RDM.
It's not about SE phasing out the jobs, it's going to be the new shiny toy a lot of people want to pt with, leaving a few of the other jobs behind once more.

To maximize buffs a party would prolly look like GEO, BRD or COR, WHM or SCH, DD, leaving no room for a rdm.

Matt “Bayohne” Hilton
I can’t believe FINAL FANTASY XI turned 10 this year! I’m excited to bring adventurers around the world the up-to-the-minute news as it happens at VanaFest 2012, just as we did previously in 2010. We’ve learned a lot since then and we’re excited to introduce things in a new and unique way, lots of video streaming, more behind-the-scenes and more fun teasers leading up to the show. Adventurers, be sure not to miss all the excitement of VanaFest 2012 because I can say… it’s going to be a big show!
Devin “Camate” Casadey
VanaFest 2010 was a blast and covering the entire event through social media was a lot of fun. This year, since it is the 10th year anniversary, we are kicking it up a notch and broadcasting live and I think it’s going to take this event to a whole new level. I’ll be doing my best to create a really fun and informative live stream so that even our player base back at home in North America can enjoy the event. Make sure to procure some snacks, get your friends together, and tune in, because VanaFest 2012 is going to be amazing and like never before!
Bethany “Rukkirii” Stout
Heya! Your favorite feline rep checking in from the North American Square Enix offices! I will be behind-the-scenes making sure that all of you get the VanaFest details quickly and efficiently.

Live CoverageCamate and Bayohne will be live streaming the events of VanaFest 2012, covering the big announcements and taking a behind-the-scenes look at the show floor.

The Community Team will be providing updates during that time in as-real-time-as-possible on Twitter and forums. The English video stream will host live reports that summarize the announcements after they’re completed and may include some special guests! |
