Thanks for all of these updates, man. Hope your channels continue to grow.

[@SO_B_LOW]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Mrhappy. I don't know what I'd do without you

[@vynson5707]

Thank you man! Very great details in all your videos. Keep up the great work! 😃

[@BlaBlaBla-76]

Lol too true.

[@GunarBastos]

and yet, we manage to see it all

[@HyouVizer]

my sub box is blessed 💖

[@enochexe1620]

But you likkkkkke it

[@cynthiastarcrossed]

Just for anyone looking into the comments about the whole Pure Healing thing. No, they are not saying healers just have to heal, they are simply making the dungeon bosses do a little more party damage in order to push healers to heal more. Where in SB you probably spent 30-40% of your time healing you may need to do 50%-60% healing. It's also very possible that the they were under geared and unprepared as you always are at the start of an expansion and as a result were just eating aoes and tank busters.

[@skept3k516]

What about doing old content with these new changes. It's going to be very boring.

[@LittleSparklingStars]

They also blurred the lines a bit between barrier and regen. Every healer has acces to both migitation and regen even though they keep their main role.

[@aceTL87]

i cleared MSQ sb as a healer yesterday, and my gear was only 380. it was tough healing the last dungeons.

[@cynthiastarcrossed]

@@aceTL87 If you had difficulty healing when you were that overgeared for the dungeon then all I can say is either the tank you were healing was undergeared, didn't use any cooldowns or you aren't using the full strength of your class.

[@SkeithTwilight]

Much love to you and everyone who went and got this all this info for us, really thank you. but can someone! anyone! ask about how they are changing loot? Or if they are doing anything new with loot? Loot in FF14 has simply gotten so boring! But one one seems to ever ask this question. I dont care what they do with it. Different rarity, set bonus, A slight buff to skills, Skills locked to the gear itself. I dont know and i dont care Anything to spice it up would be nice. and yes i know about what Yoshi-p has said about set bonuses before but surely there is a way to make it work while still making it balanced. Anyway again much love and thanks for the hard work Mr.happy.

[@-rakoo-amv454]

I actually loved that only the people that attempted savage got to see neo/god and final omega.

[@themufinman3]

yeah I will be sad, it won't be as exciting anymore to get to the last boss in a tier, the hype moment will be gone

[@Jayjayyy92]

Yea I thought that was rad. Seeing neo exdeath crush the "screen" was amazing seeing it for the first time. Like it was a reward itself kinda

[@Acidblood83]

Great questions... after seeing the healer re-works (mostly the stripping of damage abilities from SCH, again...) I'm kind of worried that playing a healer, especially in dungeons, is going to be (or become) very boring; so it's good to hear that they are at least aware of this... though I doubt they have gone anywhere near far enough to make ‘full-time’ healing a thing, and what few damage abilities there are left seem pretty underwhelming / uninteresting.

[@joec.1766]

I always liked healers being a glorified dps who heals every now and then but it makes more sense to have them more focused on healing. My fear is that when everyone is geared, playing a healer might be really boring.

[@AzumangaFan13]

Heals are just more potent, there will always be time to DPS.

[@TlEySnLeYlN]

as a whm main I'm glad they're gonna make the fights slightly more heal intensive, makes me feel better about getting those predictable pure heal spells

[@Reiryuu]

I hate to always be the negative nancy here, but let's keep it real. Coincounter or whatever his name was in Aurum Vale was heal intensive. The Vault was healing intensive. Both got nerfs. Every expansion and I do mean *every single expansion* people have been saying "Maybe they'll make healing more intensive!" and... Nope. Nothing nearly significant enough to make a difference, and when people notice, SE nerfs it. It's just the same every expansion "Shiny shiny maybe this will be different" "Shut up! You haven't played it yet!" "Shut up! You're not max level yet" "Shut up! Raid tiers aren't out yet!" **SE makes a small adjustment that may or may not correct the issue at hand.** "SEE?! SE listens to our feedback! All praise SE!!" It's the exact same thing that happened in 4.0.

[@TlEySnLeYlN]

I know, and I know they most likely will nerf it. I liked original vault and was a shame to see it get the nerf. But outside of savage or ex primal it doesn't really feel like I'm a healer unless I get an undergeared tank. Got so bad I decided to just go blm for a bit

[@Ellierienna]

I’ve been spamming leveling dungeons recently with 3 friends, 2 of which are new to the game. One of the new guys is playing tank, I’m healer. It was not a fun experience, barely had anything for us to really do... so I started running around, pulling packs up to the boss. Once we started goofing off seeing who could pull more, it became a lot more fun. Cooldowns had to be used, we had to do a bit of kiting when we bit off more than we could chew. I actually got to heal. Was fun! But it took us pulling a third of the dungeon for that to happen. Was the first time in a while I had to really focus on keeping the group alive, outside of really bad pugs who can’t do mechanics correctly.

[@darkfury1733]

Great job happy much appreciation. Keep up the AWESOME work o7

[@Xialect]

Great video. Keep it up, and stay consistent.

[@roseclaire6372]

I'm really glad you asked the question about healing. One of my reactions to seeing all the additional healing abilities that we're getting was....what kind of damage are we going to be taking that I need to heal this much....and I got a little excited/hopeful. Made me also think, what if trash pulls were to do massive aoe damage? (Like the Barmuu's in the Ridorana Lighthouse, but in 4 man dungeons. A big pull of those would need a lot of healing afterwards.) I can adjust to the other changes and learn to live with them (and hope they'll make some adjustments/changes). I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic for now until I get a chance to actually play them myself.

[@HalikBun]

Thanks for asking about the healers. Something that I've wanted to find some clarification on. I hope they don't back too far away from the idea of healing more because of how you pointed it out. lol

[@chriscall]

Two things I want to see most when the patch notes drop. First, I really hope to see real expansion on being able to take NPC AI into the old 4-man dungeon tunnel content. There's so many of them to run and I'm so tired to speed running through duty finder on roulette... I'd rather just have a great time leveling up a job through them at my own pace. Second, love or hate Eureka, at least keep it relevant... it has its own leveling system anyways so that should not be an issue. make the NMs drop the new tomestones at the bare minimum so it can act as an alternative to duty finder.

[@foxfce3N0]

Nice question about the healer part ,I'm a little sad if there is no new incoming damage type or intensive healing fight with how they try to make healer more "pure healing", it would be fun if they go all out on that pure healing thing right now what I see a good change is MP management gonna be harder with no MP regen from range ability and new tank mitigation support.

[@brianbogholtz9485]

As far as taking more damage in the new content; was the equipment provided during the demo comparable stat-wise to regular nq gear or the BIS gear that veteran players are used to pursuing? I was thinking the difference between the two could explain why the damage taken felt elevated during the demo.

[@MsBaseball19]

So cool

[@andreydikit652]

I'm sure some (likely most) healers have the same perspective as I do when I say I don't mind having fewer damage-dealing skills as long as there's actual damage I need to heal in exchange, not just a little chip damage, here and there that a Rouse + Whispering Dawn can fix (RIP to those skills). As a scholar, despite what many say of it being a "DPS job with healing and shielding abilities," it's a healing job through and through. I mean, its job icon is green, but that's beside the point. I threw out Broils and Miasmas because the party didn't need more healing - I'd be doing nothing else, otherwise. Go ahead, SE, whittle down our damage-dealing skills to the bare minimum, but please compensate with more party damage or more frequent class busters. Give me a reason to actually heal. Otherwise, it's back to Broil spam.

[@dracodragniel8648]

Yeah, have you seen Reddit? And the forums? People are pissed that they took away so many of our dps abilities

[@Blaizeria]

Damn your hair gets quite thick in such a short space of time. Thanks for the coverage 🥰

[@TheMenarch]

But Happy what about EGI GLAMOURS!?!?!?!?!

[@woobenstein]

i thought your questions were pretty good

[@FhtagnCthulhu]

If healers had to only heal, they would at least have something to do. I do not enjoy that style at all, but they made the already often boring jobs look even more braindead.

[@VampireNoblesse]

like the thoughts here on Blm! (just "visually, Blm, Rdm and Sam could have had a bigger pimp.., maybe cause they are over used?. and Yoshi is trying to get more players back on Drg, Nin, Mnk and Smn..., those look cool AF visually)

[@GetterRay]

That core identity explanation doesn't explain why Dark Knights don't unlock their gauge until Stormblood.

[@Keromimi]

Kind of agree, kind of don't. The majority of classes in general didn't unlock their gauges until Stormblood levels, or if they did unlock any it was a tiny portion of it that added more elements over time. It seemed to be a universal decision to make additional UI elements show up late.

[@GetterRay]

@@Keromimi It would at least making syncing down more fun if you got your job bars at 50 instead of 60+

[@FluffySplicer]

i like more healing. I havent been playing 14 much recently, cause i want to clear some backlog till Shadowbringer arrives but i remember DPSing way more than healing. But having to DPS over a longer period of time on a healer feels a bit boring as you dont have many buttons to press and most of the time like 2 dots and one GCD. I wished for either having to heal more or have the DPS side of the Healers to be a bit more involved. since we seem to get the first, im happy.

[@levintine777]

Did nobody asked if you can adjust so you can only see dots that only you and your party apply? If you’re in alliance raid or just hunting, you applied your dots and you’d be like, “where the fuck is my caustic bite? Did it even applied at all?”

[@silentcid]

I really wish that you would stop showing the footage from the new dungeon in a lot of these videos, cuz learning about the jobs is one thing but seeing the new dungeon is another. I just did not want to see that till release. I'm not too upset but I just think it might have been better if it was that way.

[@melancholycorgi4345]

So the bad healers who only want to heal and sit on their ass have finally won?

[@dracodragniel8648]

Yup

[@Reiryuu]

Yoshi's response to that first question is laughable. "Core identity" my butt. Protect in 2.0 was level what? 8? 7? Divine Seal was 40. Your 3rd job quest gave you divine seal. Temperence is basically Divine Seal and Protect... and it's level 80. Two spells that defined the white mage in 2.0 are considered so far out of their "core identity" that when reworked they don't come until level 80. The AST bubble is in the high 50s if I recall correctly. Somewhere around 56/58...? Scholar gets sacred soil at... 40 isn't it? 40/45 somewhere around there. I smell a lot of BS.

"We want healers to only heal" That's not the answer they wanted to give but yeah. Then how TF are they supposed to level on their own?

[@Goujiki]

You misunderstood again.

[@RyuSaarva]

how are dps suppossed to level if overworld enemies do so much damage?

[@midence]

Brain dead, 1-2 Rotation. Just kill me

[@ST3V3NK0M]

because we dont have specs, u'd imagine there's no way healers won't do any dmg, and in fact its doing decent dmg because kill time (while leveling) is also a big thing. It's only up to the fight design to make that happen.

[@jackadam9348]

Then just roll a damage dealer. You can’t have the best of both world. Roll a heal because you want uh... “heal”.
