As for stats alignment returning, it was much better having an option to change your stats. Whats the point in having job specific roles and stat choices if when you change your role your stats are still stuck set up for the previous role you used.... fail. I'm not paying for this game no way

@Vandarkboco97 You can still customize your class with abilities from other classes. The abilities equipped from other classes just wont be as powerful compared to someone using them with class that can learn the skill. The higher lvl abilities are now class specific because of player feedback to make the classes feel more unique. Also you can set your own attribute points for each class, all classes their own set of points. The ability to change those points will come with 1.21.

@MithraTales Well the fact about being able to set stats for each class. I didn't know that and I am ok with that part now. I still miss the old way the ability's worked, I don't think it was the right way to make them more unique. They could have done something much better. Allot of the solo aspect is lost with this patch, and that is a massive disappointment for me as my aim for this game was to be powerful as an individual and in a group. Now it's just like XI all over again.....

@Vandarkboco97 I'd agree they could have changed the armory system in other ways. Soloing isn't gone, however. You can't fight monsters easily that are 10 or more levels above you solo anymore but you don't need to. The difficultly of leves and the amount of exp they award has been adjusted for solo play. It's also possible to find a spot to grind solo and get exp chains. That's what my friend Azu was doing in the video before I joined him. Party exp is still better though.

[Vandarkboco97]

@MithraTales Can you still power level well? Or is this also more difficult to achieve?

[MithraTales]

@Vandarkboco97 Well since the fatigue system is gone I'd say its much easier. Some changes were made to how power leveling with lower level players works to prevent exploits but its still possible to do it. According to the 1.21 patch note preview a rested exp bonus is also being added.

i was just going to buy it the i saw there is monthly fee and just lost hope playing this wonderful game ;/

[Vandarkboco97]

Hmm I leveled all my jobs to level 50 so I could combine all my abilitys and be awsome... but once again SE are fools and they removed abilitys so you can't customize your classes. Now it's just another FFXI and honestly if I wanted to play FFXI I would just play FFXI.. There are things about FFXIV I liked but now those things are gone so t-.-t.
