So...a Class Story Epilogue Saga?

[DarkStar]

is it bad I laughed at the end of that

in the case of monk I can't imagine continuing the job quest to be much of an option given what happened during it, not without basically developing it into a new questline. I'd be happy if they just threw that out and put us back with Hamon though because the MNK quests were a complete disappointment after the PGL ones.

I definitely agree. All the Job Questlines I did felt like they were pretty well wrapped up at the end, but most of the Class questlines felt like they were left open for continuation. Plus, I'd much rather join Hamon Holyfist with his various misadventures than work any longer as hired muscle for some smarter-than-thou jerk.

I want to know what happens with our dear K'Lyhia and her wandering Guildmaster; and if Aldis and Mylla... reconcile!

Personally, I feel they should have made the soul crystal more like a special skill tree. Do some job related quests for lore and abilities. Then level up the soul crystal to increase the job related stat boosts while enhancing and adding new traits and abilities from that job through it. Then to grow the job you can add more ability/lore quests and add to the job tree for expansion's of the job. Some may require other classes or job abilities to be unlocked/ or leveled before having them unlocked on pld.

Since there's that whole lv 60 thing. How about for classes once we hit lv50 we do a chapter 2 of lore where the requirement increases via average ilevel. Gladiator (example) would be an increase to their traits and ability to tank with out the need of a Pld soul crystal. Ex: Headbut-an ability stun like leg sweep, phalanx for the defence increase, flat blade, vorpal blade, an aoe atk. Other abilities for hate control, enhanced awareness, etc. Have some of the increased abilities or traits be for Gld only. Then jobs like Pld could only get base access to some of them.

Lore wise Raubahn is a champion gladiator and wears a variation of gladiator gear. We could be learning more about being a gladiator from him as a way to prepare the next generation for any future expansions. In effect start at i50, i55, i60, so on, and progress up to when ever. Then fight him in the arena and in the process get a full custom i90 Gladiator set crafted like his. Right there would be a half decent example to make class more relevant. Each class could have something like that.

Like for Pgl we could go back to Holy Fist who then thinks <player> might be able to help him perfect a technique/art he's spent the later half of his life trying to create or master (I don't know.. Senjutsu, or way of the fist, ... the receiving end of a ??? wooping by XIV's version of Maat or something)

We don’t want to spoil any of the details pertaining to upcoming content, but there are plans to continue some of the class quests for the classes that currently exist in Eorzea while also creating new stories.

You fill me with cautious optimism... I hope to see my favorite NPCs again, yet fear as only some quests will be continuing.

Of course they're keeping the existing classes... Reworking the game so you start out as a Dragoon or White Mage, as well as rewriting all the lore to actually have that make sense would be a fairly big undertaking, and for what? There is literally no benefit from it. They should either leave them unused come 30 or work on making them worthwhile at 60, putting effort in to remove them would just be a waste of time. It leaves us exactly where we are now but involves them putting effort in... Effort which could be spent on literally anything else... I'd rather they work on a new Job than reworking the existing Jobs to be there from Lv1...

[Meier]

^ Yeah but they threw out everything else Tanaka made...I dunno why they kept this, but maybe we will understand once they reveal more stuff, and why the new jobs don't have classes XD. I mean I am all for more story and what not, but classes other then lore seem pretty useless I totally understand what you are saying though.

Perhaps they are going to rework stuff...*Crosses fingers*

If they had any sense they'd take all the classes and stick them on one Job which works similar to 1.0s original physical/skill leveling system. Everyone starts out as a Freelance, your weapon decides Freelancers skill set (sword = Gladiator skills, for example), level the weapon skills on Freelancer to unlock Jobs, the more Jobs you have unlocked, the more powerful Freelancer becomes, just like old school Final Fantasy style beginner Jobs. Freelancer (Arcanist) becomes just as viable as Summoner, and people even get to keep using Carbuncle if they want.

Been suggesting this since beta, just do it already Yoshida...
