Quarter Jobs

[Mathieu]

I'd be much happier with a more FFV-esque system that enabled you to carry over certain job abilities or job traits from one job to others; e.g. transplanting Convert onto your WHM/SCH, or allowing Meditation on your DRK/WAR. Via an obscene amount of merit points, of course.

Except that wasn't how FFV worked at all. You could set one ability, but, beyond the default command ability, you had to equip your own class abilities to use them outside a couple minor passive ones. For example, Red Mage could not use Doublecast without equipping it, preventing them from equipping another ability.

Quantity of merit points does not matter at all. You can max out merit points in, let's say 3 to 4 hours. By FFXI standards that's nothing, especially when it gives a gamebreakingly overpowered ability.

How could Dual Wield and Counter be considered "minor passive ones" ?

But, you know, FF XIV works something like that. You can choose the skills you equip between almost all the ones you learned from every class (Some of them are exclusive to the initial class). Too bad you can't do it with traits anymore

FFXIV also was designed specifically around the idea you could do that and has only a few classes with very limited ability sets.

I can see it being possible to balance for voidwatch onwards content. abyssea is god mod anyway so it won't hurt there. experience points partys are a rarity these days, and it won't matter when dealing with grounds of valor burns and so on.
How badly would a quarter job really hurt the way things are currently.
I could see it being a huge new lease of life on the game potentially.

>>>>>>>>>REALLY SILLY OVERPOWERED IDEA<<<<<<<
Alternatively, how about something more monstrously over powered. The ability to raise your sub job cap 1 level at a time once you reach level 99 on any given job. Think about the number of notorious monsters in the game with the ability to act as if they have 2 "main" jobs or more.

This idea will never happen, due to the fact that it would finally make DRG a comparable DD. DRG99/SAM49/WAR24. Bonus to attack speed, store TP and berserk.

Just do gestalt quests for every job and let people be 99/99 on what they unlocked.(You need at least 2 first.)
You could even limit it's use to timed areas.

Why not have a full on 2nd support job? No? Too overpowering?

Replying to someone's post is not following them. Many people post in many sections of the forum, this thread is like any other.
