Why do Final Fantasy 14 players choose certain Jobs? On aesthetics, identity and role-play
When given the choice, I always go for the mage. There's just something about shooting magic out of my hands that appeals to me when playing video games, the ultimate power fantasy. Why swing metal when I can manipulate nature itself?
All of which is to say I eventually switched to healing and never looked back. White Mage requires strategy and thought. I hold not just magic in my hands, but the lives of my teammates. Says Alex, a Summoner:"I enjoy playing 'dark Jobs', ones that fit the gothic aesthetic. My Jobs of choice are, in that order, Summoner, Black Mage, Dark Knight, Reaper.""I enjoy DPS, but I love being a support player, and Bard really fills both of those niches to me," says Sparrow.
"One of the things I love about healing in general in Final Fantasy 14 is that you actually function somewhat as a 'green DPS'. I love that the best form of damage mitigation as a healer is through spamming holy to stun the enemy, and killing it before it can do too much damage to the boss. I see it as the best of both worlds - being able to DPS and making sure that my tank is kept topped up in between.
"Personally I had played DPS classes and started Final Fantasy 14 assuming I would continue doing the same. But thanks to the more forgiving attitudes in group content, I did eventually try other roles like tanking and healing, and found that I really enjoyed tanking after all.""I get to see the game from many perspectives and every one of those teaches me new lessons about how to approach fights," he says.
"I pick Jobs that I feel are appropriate for the character I'm playing: for example, one of my characters has no grasp of magic, so all healers and Black Mage are off the table for him, as well as any Jobs requiring big weapons or bulky armour since he's not too physically strong - hence the only tank Job he has is Gunbreaker," says Marion.
"At first I didn't like dressing my character too cutesy in Final Fantasy 14 because many of the female characters and clothes have an overly feminine or even sexual touch to it and I didn't want to push that and I still don't indulge that very much, but I accept that it's totally fine to just wear something because I think it's pretty and not to overthink it," says Summoner Pia.
