Being able to pick which items you get off a gathering node is nice, as is crafting which is actually involving.

I was liking that little HQ% display on the crafting. It's nice to explicitly know what your odds are. I am curious at to how they'll expand these roles beyond their starting abilities, though.
(Also... HD version is sooo pretty.) |

I have everything except CUL and FSH to 50 (only one luminary though), so I am definitely looking forward to a more streamlined crafting system and a better designed crafting skill system. Sooo many TV shows and movies watched while mindlessly spoiler[ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER] leveling all those crafts...
They had that HQ display in 1.x for several months, though, so that's not really new. |

Ah, didn't realize. I only played for the first couple months after 1.0's release, but I've been passively following 2.0's development ever since. |

crafting = $$$$ You can make so much gil, it's not even funny. |

In XIV, crafting classes are not a subskill like in XI, they are their own actual classes and you can level them all to cap if you put in the absurd amounts of time. Looks like 2.0 is going to require less absurd amounts of time.
Crafting was a good way to make money in XIV 1.x, but the thing was since leveling crafting took time but not gil, anyone could do it, so there was always a lot of competition for market share. I never got super rich off crafting (I think I had maybe 50 mil or so when game went down, can't remember exactly...may sound like a lot, but 50 mil was really not that much), but I used it to make myself lots of stuff that would have otherwise cost me a lot. When you can make any craftable item in the game, there is not very much incentive to try to make a bunch of money to buy craftable items, and that's all gil was really good for in 1.x. Sounds like 2.0 is going to have more things to actually spend gil on, like private housing and stuff, so I'll have more incentive to put my crafting skills to work for profit rather than just to make expensive gear for myself. |
