FFXIV A Realm Reborn

For group play, how important is the "holy trinity." Do you need dps/healer/tank?

I kind of hope so, actually. Because although that is old and tried, games that don't have it, like Guild Wars 2, end up feeling like a group of 5 people spamming their cooldowns and teamwork doesn't matter at all.

As far as I know its important. I have a feeling it wont be for 4 man content. Maybe need a healer and heavy set DPS.. but the 8 person groups need a tank, abd 2 healers apparently. Since I'm in the lowbie stages I can't speak to that exactly yet.. but I'll let you know for sure before the game even launches.

Server issues aside, I've been playing this a bit every day since it came out.

It's a really great MMO. It's the most fun I've had playing one, actually. It's still really similar to WoW in how quests and abilities work, but everything is so polished and well done it doesn't really matter.

My favorite thing so far is how you only need one character, and you can play every class on that character. I always had a hard time committing to a class in WoW and I always started many alts. Now, there's no reason to.
