Petition to Remove Classes & Just Have Jobs

Uh... basically what we have now is similar to Ragnarok Online before the 2-2 classes came out (except with job switching and no novice)

All we need now is second jobs for each class and bam, we've got something great.
Not innovative, per se... but tried and true.



What I like, with FFXIV's system... is that while its similar to RO before the 2-2 jobs; it has its differences as well because of the armory system and classes being more "open" than the jobs with which abilities they can cross-class. When new classes are added, the existing classes will become more versatile and there will also be a greater variance of jobs alongside them but won't directly influence the existing jobs since they don't gain abilities from them.
This could, potentially, change the way the classes we have now are used completely whereas the jobs maintain their static role. The possibilities are huge.

I like that idea of jobs upgrading to advance jobs. Like a Knight turns into Paladin, and then turns into a Crusader, Black Mage turns into Wizard, then into Sage etc etc. upgrading and unlocking new abilities along the way

we dont need a second job transform... one is enough....

blm -> wizzard? oh really? all final fantasy is about when it comes to damage dealing caster is a black mage... and hell no f*** wizzard which we see in any MMO -.-

its FINAL FANTASY you know... one progress step from con to white mage is really far enough..

yes, 1 step is all we need

but what about later when they say...add red mage, which can be a combined conj/thm, then you got ravager...oh wait thats not supposed to exist is it, but wait its in a main ff numbered title too so i guess it counts!

and others such as it that have potential to be added


right now we have 1 class to 1 job, later we will see stronger versions of these im sure(jobs requiring higher class requirements, or more class requirements for instance)

How I feel about the Job system is like when errr... "Crabble" releases a "new" version of their "Bi-Phone" every year, sure the new model is nice, but it's basically the same ol' product. The Job system doesn't really feel unique.... It feels like a re-hash of the same old product we've had since the beginning (Classes) yet with 1-2 minor additions.

The new JSE for BLM is already called wizard stuff in FFXIV, why link to a FFXI picture?
With how jobs share xp with the base classes they might as well add more, i was looking forward to gettin to level new jobs only to be maxed out like right away.
I like the jobs, they're fun to play, but it feels like all they did was add side-quests, so they might as well add more since i have all this free time still. :P

If you are talking about it being Final Fantasy and only having one job change...hehe in FFA2 there was so many..I think FF3 had a lot too! It may have only been one change though..hard to remember >.<;

But yeah I still rather they just have either classes or jobs...I like things simple..plus my poor inventory lol ;~;

I miss sub jobs. I dislike jobs it kept me busy for almost whole week cause nothing had to be leveled. no wonder the majority of my friends are already going back on breaks till next patch(sadface ; ; ). I hope(yes i know its not happening but i can dream) we all get rerolled on 2.0 or i expect to see a lot of people play for a month, maybe two depending on the content, then leave again because were already lv 50 everything.
Can guarantee it took a hell of a lot longer to get 75 everything's in xi pre abyssea then 50 everything here. I like a bit of work in my games. I feel like everything's handed to me here. If we had to level jobs at least people who are 50 everything would have had a reason to stick around a bit longer, and wed not have everyone wearing af, every jobs. In XI people worked for this and worked hard (at one point) Im not looking for XI-2 but some of the challenges or time it took, the pride to wear full AF or to level a job to wear it.
