    Dark Knight is one of mine. It learning Drain II and letting it put it's HP to 3000-4000 was a big deal back when it happened, and it got even more insane with Drain III and Nether Void which could let it fully cap HP at 9999. A job that was notorious for dying so easily became the hardest melee to kill.

    man you videos have me really tempted to come back after seven years. the problem is I was a ps2/360 guy back in the day and I don't know much about computers... will a laptop run it? and should I keep my 85, or should I start over? it's been so long that I'm tempted to just start over although I'm not excited about getting black belt ect again

    I started as a Smn. I healed all parties with Cure III and got all of my avatars through the mini fights. I leveled many other jobs, but didn't change main until I played Rng. Rng was my main until I completed Yoichinoyumi, and then it became Sam. Sam was essentially my main until the time Abyssea came out. I made Ukonvasara and then tanked everything as War. EVERYTHING!

    One major early change for drg was the addition of Spirit Link. Prior to this (somewhere late 2005/early 2006 I think?), premature loss of the wyvern was damn near guaranteed. Spirit Surge was somewhere in the ToAU era, I think.

  • @distantworlds3308
    @distantworlds3308 6 років тому

    Would you ever consider making some basic guides to the jobs you are familiar with? I’ve recently recently returned after a several year break. When I stopped play in about 2014 I think I had every job but geo and run to level 99 all of them well geared, and merited. Since my return I have kept away from several jobs because I can’t remember even the basics of them any more. I used to love pup sch smn cor bst. The first sch I did something with after my return I kept wondering where the fairy was, and who was doing all the nukes (thinking that it was the same as 14). You seem like you have a good grasp on how the jobs function in this new age, if you are up for it make some refresher courses on any of the jobs would be great.

    That two hander update that SE messed up was so much fun while it lasted! I was a lvl62ish DRK, in a party with two Sams killing Crawlers in Mt. Zhayolm. Didn't even need a tank. They died in mere seconds. It was amazing lol.

  • @tjtower
    @tjtower 5 років тому +2

    DRG went from being loldrg after the penta thrust nerf, lacking accuracy and offensive job abilities, to one of the best damage dealers in the game if geared properly at 99. All things being equal between melee jobs, fully geared to the max, DRG is right up there with SAM for top dog. (Mythic weapons + every different gear set)
    Makes me want to jump back into the game, miss my DRG

    My LS was the first NA LS to 75. We pretty much owned Sky for years as everyone else was slowly working their way to 75. The ranger nerf hit us badly. We used to weekly farm 6+ Kirin triggers during the week, then on Sunday just Kill him back to back at blistering speeds. This was how we LS funded the rangers and made everyone rich. Anyways the damage modifier was much higher before the nerf. We'd pop Kirin, and in maybe 5 min he was dead (this was early 2004), while pretty much every non ranger watched. After the nerf, the damage really dropped off, and we pretty much went back to mostly BLM with a few Rng. That was the death of the ranger, and we no longer used them in Sky unless someone wanted too, but the LS ammo funding was cut off. I have been a part of downing Everything in 75 content. Pretty much PLD, WHM, RDM, THF, BLMx15+. killed almost everything in the game w/o breaking a sweat. I miss the game so much. Nothing has ever come close.

  • @chrish8406
    @chrish8406 2 роки тому

    I realize I'm a little late but I've been neck deep in the nostalgia lately. You bring up RDM on this list but only mentioned refresh. The biggest thing about RDM for me was the spell enmity changes. I used RDM/NIN a lot in TOAU for tanking purposes and that all changed with the enmity updates to certain spells I wheeled for enmity building (bind, blind, sleep). When it was viable, RDM/NIN was by far my favorite way to tank.

  • @MaoLaoshi
    @MaoLaoshi 6 років тому

    As someone who played BRD in endgame @ 75 i loved haveing a ranger. Pianissimo was amazing(when was added) to give them atk song and i loved giveing them AGI or STR for their WS. it made playing brd so much more entertaining!

  • @byushidoran
    @byushidoran 6 років тому

    You bring up a great point that job popularity changed depending on when you were playing. Yes, you could change to a different job and stay "usefull," it was frustrating to have to spend the time to level up a job you don't like, just so you can participate in end game and earn the gear for a job that you can never use. I got tired of WHM but it was always needed for our LS's end game events.

  • @malikwalker4765
    @malikwalker4765 5 років тому

    Solid list imo. You totally understate how crazy the boosts to PUP have been however. H2H from Ct to At is awesome by itself, but throw in the strongest H2H WS in the game Stringing Pummel, AND the utility of the automaton it is just a hair's breath from broken.

    Beastmaster...had a rollercoaster between reducing party exp...hate issues...the lack of jug pets...the odds of causing a party wipe from massive link when pet decharms caused them to be booted and played solo....but then the despawn monsters came along and caused their solo run to be hindered...on top of the fact that parties near by hated beastmaster cuz they would charm and uncharm monsters causing them to give 0 exp in a level zone 🤣 however now... beastmaster was a blast to level up.

    • @MFSArchive
      @MFSArchive 5 років тому +1

      BST actually got buffed and nerfed at the same time a couple of years ago. They added Bubbling Bertha along with bestial loyalty which is call beast without consuming your jug. Suddenly you can buy those expensive jugs from AH without consuming it and it is godly when farming salvage II.
      One... big.. draw.. back... You got to be within 6 yalms to be able to use "ready" so you could use your AoE Tegime Buffet to kill the mobs. Had some deaths because of this and it's a big pain in the butt.
      At the moment it's one of the more popular jobs for cleaving in places like Escha Zi'Tah where you can gather a ton of mobs and buffet to death.
      Zero to full 75 merits in 5-10 mins assuming you got the zone to yourself and a blue mage doesn't cut across your path, AoE the mobs you just pulled and kill them instead. /angry
      Also anyone remember the days where you only had access to Sic (uses a random pet tp command), no Snarl (tranfers emnity from master to pet), Spur (store TP effect for pets) and Unleash (Charm boosted to 96% success rate/Sic, Ready and Call Beast have no recast timers/ Ready and Sic consume no tp.)

  • @LordEcks
    @LordEcks 6 років тому +1

    As someone who played FFXI from the Japanese release all the way to the very end of Aht Urgan, I think your opinions are spot on. Also very interesting to see what the differences are after the lvl 75 cap was raised, since I never actually played it.
    I remember the RNG nerf, lol.
    They used to all use NIN sub with those dual daggers that gave insane +rng acc to fuel their insane slugshot WS.
    The multi-hit WS nerf, lol. Good times. Poor Penta.
    NIN shadows nerf. (They used to absorb everything, including AoE)
    Paladin Axe-Skill removal. (They used to have the skill, but no equipable axes).
    Most non Japanese players wont remember this, because it was fixed before the US release.. but 2 hour abilities would reset upon Job change. People who ran multiple BCNM's would always job change to get their 2 hour back before they fixed that.
    Probably a few more off the top of my head, but you get the idea.
    Nice video :)

    For me the best update 75 era for SMN was when they made summoning magic impact on buff duration, suddenly parties wanted me for being able to bust out full party hastegas and other buffs that would last. I always loved the job and played it all through the painful era... suffering as a second rate WHM when none were available.

    i remember back in the day Summoner was sick because of Diablos doing % damage on Kirin. i came really close to hanging up my chi blast in favor of diablos. the 2 hander change changed the attack formula for 2 handers to 1 str= 2 atk later they nerfed it to 1 str = 1.5 attack

    You forgot to mention SCH's Embrava and Adloquium, not to mention Kaustra (the giga-helix) -- there was a time when there were fights that were nearly impossible without having a SCH blow her Tabula Rasa and buff you into godhood. Personally COR also feels very changed to me; I remember (perhaps incorrectly) a time when it was little more than a bad BRD, but nowadays its rapid-hitting damage and buff menu are both very appealing.

  • @RoninXDarknight
    @RoninXDarknight 6 років тому

    As a White Mage main when Scholar came out I felt like Christmas had come early. I leveled that to 37 as fast as I could and virtually never went back to Summoner sub again. Light Arts decreasing MP cost and casting speeds plus allowing me to insta-raise people (I was a Taru so I didn't really care about Penury as much) was amazing. Dark Arts allowing me to utilize both Aspir, Drain & Sleep much more effectively was phenomenal. Adding in Sublimation with the refresh gear I already had and I didn't need much outside support via a Red Mage or Bard.
    I seriously had a Red Mage friend who loved partying with me because of how low maintenance (and competent) I was at the job. Well, that and the fact that I was the only Taru White Mage on Leviathan who had an HP build for Devotion...there were Galkas who couldn't restore half the MP I could with that skill :D

    @cedericdrachenreign7637 6 років тому +1

    MNK was the first job i really leveled, and even at 75 and 99 it doesn't really evolve or get 'more fun'.. I think the easiest thing they could have done to MNK would be to lower the effect and recast timer on their core abilities. Not everything needs to be Boost, but 5 minutes between abilities with nothing to do in the mean time is too boring. Make Chi blast and Chakra 1 or 2 minute recast and lower their effect. Have a mini-Hundred Fists effect to contrast Footwork. Something like -50% DMG but half your delay. Obviously it wouldn't be great for big stuff because TP feeding and you'd probably be doing 0 dmg, but MNK/DNC or an "Additional effect" on your weapon with an effect like that would be sick.

  • @neoodin6298

    Going to just say that I may not agree with your view or opinion on certain things, however I've been watching your videos the last couple weeks and I finally caved and went to buy a couple laptops for my girl and I to play FFXI this past Tuesday.
    I gotta say as a person who picked up FFXI back when it came out for ps2 in NA I played religiously for years and yeah I've had a couple breaks here and there and I haven't touched it in roughly 5 years but that itch to start playing again was driving me nuts.
    Started new account on Odin because that's where my old account was and hopefully when I get around to calling Square Enix I might be able to get it back.
    Anyway within the last day and a half I have a 30 Thf a 18 War Empress Hair Pin and Bounding Boots.
    Hopefully I can run into you on a Tuesday and run with you a bit if you feel like partying with an OG noob

      I learned a way to use the despawning mob thing as a tactic when converting lower level mobs to higer ones for exp purposes.
      Charm a mob, take it out of spawn area, leave it and it mostly came back as a higher level mob.
      Also using the same tactic if you got a link was useful too.
      I do admit it was weird getting used to the change because you had to adjust your playstyle but if you found the right camp, you could still gain exp.

  • @alexsis1778
    @alexsis1778 6 років тому

    Just like to point out that when it first came out Sch's helix made it absolutely dominant for DPS. They had this ability called Modus Veritas which natively added the helix's initial dot damage to itself (ie double.. for the first one, triple for the 2nd etc) while halving the duration. But you could merit that to remove the half duration. This was amazing because each subsequent Veritas would continually add that damage again, and it was pretty much 100% accuracy. So you could have 1 really good scholar to apply a super helix and then like a super ghetto monk, use a bunch of naked 75 SCH's with merits cycling through the party spamming their Veritas over and over. This strategy allowed people to zerg kill AV without even bothering to reduce its regen because you had a dot that was in the thousands. Needless to say, Modus Veritas got nerfed into the ground within weeks of this strategy becoming known. Another big swing.

  • @Bradman1978
    @Bradman1978 6 років тому

    The wyvern change was somewhere in either later CoP to early WoG. PLD could have been put on this list. I was considered shit because I was a Galka pld, pld didn't have jack for spell expected to Cure 3 as much as possible and at the same time keep a balance of hate so sata could be applied which wasn't needed. When your a lvl 75 Galka PLD having to use heavy mp gear so you can cure 3 for maybe 5 times and barely have enough to raise someone. v.v Also shield blocking was hard to skill cap then at some point around CoP blacking went from 0 dmg to less dmg taking. I could go on about a lot of stuff.

    @wobblefoot7607 6 років тому +9

    Don't let people yell at you for the BLU stuff.
    BLU did not get party invites post level 40 back in day and at 75 you had to solo imps in Caedarva for merits and even with complete end game gear you were not an optimal choice.
    The sword skill in the beginning was something like C- for the longest time that means you get the weaponskills later and your accuracy/attack were significant lower than say Warrior or Paladin.
    You, for a god awful amount of time, just had Red Lotus Blade + SA Death Scissors or (The spider spell) and you had to ride the chain affinity timer. You had to overcompensate for accuracy and attack since it didnt have any native sources and back before any traits for dual wield you either /THF for SA or /NIN for dualwield. Haste gear back int he day was few and far between and getting into a end game LS as BLU onry was impossible. Add these all together and you had a bootleg WAR singlewielding a sword dumping out subpar weaponskills that needed to be refreshed or rest to continue DPSing and was likely not a 3/5 homam, relic body, walmart turban Blue mage and even if you were the job just got dumpstered by a (axe + ridil or joytoy) warrior or (axe, ridil) dark knight. After the two handed update it was SAM and apoc DRKs. In the days of TP burn and chain parties this just was not a thing. For the end game bosses you didnt use it either except for, maybe, DEF builds with Sneak attack cannonball because of the amount of TP something like the (7fold?) Disseverment would give a HNM was not ok and could lead to TP spam and a wipe. In most cases you would just bring a BLM because the cannonball itself would deal subpar damage without Chain Affinity or SA and the Dissevement not only TP fed but pre blue magic adjust did very little damage to anything that mattered. Only way to avoid one of those weaknesses was to wield a Tizona because of its restore MP and its aftermath(s) but you just werent hitting anything worthwhile with lower than average skill back during the 75 era pre-adjustments and most players did not have the legit billion or so gil the mythic used to cost without the Salvage dupes. Nevermind claiming the HNMs it took or doing EInherjar/Nyzul for the points.
    I was a BLU from the day it came out up until sometime last year and I loved it the whole time.I remember tearing shit up with my Tizona at 99 and I also remember soloing in Yhoater jungle around 45 because I did not get party invites readily until 70ish when Imp parties started to become a thing. God the spells were hot trash before they added the blue magic physical attack / accuracy to the overall BLU skill. I remember having to pick up BRD just to get into a HNMLS so I could gear it.
    First piece of Homam from sea felt so good but all those attendence points were gained either on BRD or lowmanning limbus or sea pops which BLU was actually good for.
    My HNMLS letting me go BLU/THF to HNMs like Cerb and co. was fun. Couldnt do that on Faf cos Spike Flail but whenever I could go BLU and we had enough BRDs they'd let me and It wasnt because it was the best option... it almost never was.
    Your mileage may vary but in my experience this is what it was for me.

      Don't forget that the ONLY benefit to BLU in endgame at 75 was SATA Cannonball. Also because of that, depending on the content, without Utsusemi, you were responsible for your own well-being or you were a burden to the WHM MP pool. You're about as useful as Chi Blast but more risky. BLU had its niche uses though. My BLU/RDM supertanked the Ark Angels fight. That shit was sick. For the most part though, BLU really didn't shine in groups until abyssea and that's super unfortunate for such a fun, versatile job.

      Maybe this was a server thing - BLU was huge in on Alexander / Shiva. I lvl'd my RDM, BLU, COR, RNG, THF, and PUP in record time, pre-Abyssea, with five BLU and me parties. It was SO nice. Once Promy's hit, I had everything I wanted 75, then 99, in hours. Similar to BST, PUP, BLM - BLU can solo like a boss on Aht Urghan mobs. At least, I did.

      I forget what taught BLU Cannonball (I want to say one of the kinds of Trolls in Aht Urghan but it's been 7 years or so since I fought one), but I can remember leveling on my 75 PLD to keep from deleveling in Mt. Zhayolm with a BLU and the glee they all had when that learned that spell. I had a whole lot of them more than willing to keep grinding with my PLD whenever I needed it because I was willing to help them fight the really nasty enemies for their spells, regardless of where we had to go. I am a Paladin, I don't fear Qutrub, or Lamia, or anything!

    BLM were kings in HNM fights until SE added debuff resistance and remained in the shadows for a loong time. They were actually revived in the RoV era with the overhaul and buffs to MB.
    NIN got the design change forced when players realised they are better tank than DD, even better than PLD.

    NIN I still love the fact that it was released as a damage dealer from SE... Oh boy how wrong they were xD

      SMN in FFXI wasn't broken. It was actually a fairly well balanced job and the time to level it made it a right of passage for many SMN who reach 75.
      FFXIV's jobs have nothing on the jobs of FFXI. The combat system is too simplistic to have jobs with actual variety to the way they play.
