actualy, it has been stated by him in several other threads already, even if not this one

For once I agree, I would prefer if they just scrapped the current system and rebuilt with Jobs from the get go instead of trying to shoehorn them in somehow so as not to upset current players. If they just scrapped and rebuilt with Jobs they could still let us keep our equivalent Ranks/Level and transfer them to the new Jobs so it wouldn't be that big of a deal.
Who knows though maybe they have actually come up with something great, but to me it seems like they are trying to go back to a more FFXI setup but trying not to piss off the current player base and I hope that won't be a mistake by doing that and trying to shoehorn the Job system around the class system as opposed to building it from the ground up.
It makes me wonder how they will implement new jobs in the future. Will they introduce a brand new class to level in order to get in that new job? (SE puts in two handed sword class that will unlock dark knight) Or, will they start stacking jobs on the current classes? (Expansion 1: all classes get another job to unlock)
