The gaf LS still exists, but the only people who currently play who have it are me, seigyoku, aurellius, and sometimes (very rarely) shouta and felix. Everyone else jumped ship to something else.
Why yes it does... (People who can actually start new threads, ahem...)
Well, for Abyssea it goes like this. (most useful)
Abyssea
Jobs for Red Proc
Triggering this to obtain key items which can pop NM or gain Atma which are uber buffs in Abyssea.
1. Warrior
2. Ninja
Jobs for Yellow Proc
A proc that allows etc and Seals to drop. Seals are used to +1 your Empyrean Armor (aka AF3)
White Mage triggers Light yellow
Black Mage triggers Dark yellow
Bard (Used as a subjob on BLM) triggers Bard
Ninja (can be subbed on THF for proc) triggers Ninja
Jobs for Blue Proc
Used for armor and weapon drops in Abyssea.
Monk triggers all Blue except Hexa Strike which is White Mage exclusive.
Voidwatch
Voidwatch is essentially spawn NM and go. There are voidwatch markers all over the world, and each one can spawn a certain VNM(Voidwatch Notorious Monster) They are difficult, and are done most of the time with a full alliance (three full parties).
Now you're expecting to have all your moves on the job you pick in this because it triggers procs. These procs help the drop rate, and they also help defeat the monster.
Unlike Abyssea, all procs essentially are the same in this one.
Most useful(or picked) jobs in this are
1. Warrior
2. Bard
3. Corsair
4. White Mage
5. Black Mage
6. Paladin
Other jobs
Dragoon
Dark Knight
Ranger
Blue Mage
Monk
Samurai
If you don't feel like gearing to the max, and spending a lot of time obtaining all the moves, White Mage is the easiest choice. However, there are a lot of White Mages out there so you may get in less parties. (although more parties if you don't have either of these jobs)
Warrior is a nice choice, but a lot of people expect you to have the Empyrean weapon.
Black Mage is solid, but you'll need to buy a lot of expensive spells.
Bard, I'm not sure how difficult that is. Seems like it'd be easy.
Corsair <- do not.
Paladin You were right about Paladin, but that's only for Abyssea. In Voidwatch, a Paladin can single handedly cause certain demise to turn into victory. All the big bad monsters in Voidwatch require a Paladin to tank to some form, but you'll need an Ochain or an Aegis to do this.
I really really reeeeally hope they release it on disc, I love my shelf console FFXI collection.
PS2 disc in 2013 though.....? lol.
if they released a ps2 collection id get it lol

Summoner is now great for voidwatch, as it went from one of the hardest jobs to proc with, to hands down the easiest.

That's kinda sad in a way. My fondest memories of the game were right after US launch when I had to print out a skillchain chart and everyone was so cooperative and didn't care what gear you had. It was absolutely the best multiplayer coop experience I've had, but the community changed and I lost interest. I want the game to be more open but I dunno if it needed to be easier.
I really loved yelling for a WHM for hours.
I started out as WHM at US launch. You truly were treated as a god back then lol.

Oh snap, I forgot about that. Maybe we'll get the second job!?
Runic Knight please.

Here's a link to the VanaFest 2012 site:

Didn't see it in the OP and I'm sure some people are going to want to tune in.

Quoting this because I'd like others to see it.
Anyone else get this from this new job?

Don't feel too bad. I'm sure they're going to put the final nail into DRK's coffin too with this new melee/mage hybrid job.

Apparently someone who knows what they're talking about has said that the second job starts with an 'r', so I'm thinking Runic Knight. Sort of the same difference though right?

People really love this games. It takes you back to a time when Final Fantasy was something more. XIV has hurt the IP so much.
It did but judging from the responses since, there is now genuine excitement about the project. Just pretend version 1.0 doesn't exist.
No more than XIII.

I'm not sure that XIV did the real damage. The franchise has been gradually losing its touch since FFX IMO, and I think many others feel the same way. If anything, FFXIV 2.0 looks like it might be a big step back in the right direction.
Currently, FFXI definitely does feel like a last bastion of the Final Fantasy 'magic' though. I hope (and I believe) that FFXIV 2.0 will succeed it in this regard.
I have a hard time believing that.

Time to leave SWTOR for god, and return back to Vana'diel. Best announcement ever.
That one it was, meant the one before hand.

Kumi Tanioka.
Just listening to her go back and forth with the MC is fun. I could listen to her talk all day though, her back and forth is cute.
