After months (and even years) of healer mains in Final Fantasy 14 complaining that Square Enix's MMORPG has simplified and devalued the job, seemingly to no avail, aggrieved healers are going one step further to make their opinion known: They're going on strike.
The strike originated on June 9, when Square Enix forum user Gemina (a Scholar main) posted a thread succinctly titled #FFXIVHEALERSTRIKE. The thread opens with a mission statement for the strike. Gemina writes:
I would like to make this the official thread for those in support of a healer strike as a collective voice to the dev team to express the dissatisfaction with the continued direction the game has gone concerning healer gameplay and what is an arrived consensus that has deemed to be a negligence towards the role, as well as the players who main it.
While this is not a new issue for FF14's healer community, Dawntrail previews were the tipping point that led to the strike. Specifically, FF14 content creator Xenosys Vex's preview video, showing a four-person party beating the new expansion's first dungeon, Ihuykatumu, without a healer. Of course, Xenosys used some clever party make-up: The party's tank was a Warrior, a class known for its self-healing abilities. The Warrior was then supported by three DPS players, with one choosing Red Mage to make use of healing and revival magic without the need for a true healer. Still, it's not a good look for Dawntrail and it has put a sour taste in many healers' mouths.
