Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

Exactly. Just give people freedom. It's not going to end the world.

No it won't end the world, but the freedom you want probably won't happen.

Who really cares though, Blood Lotus? Just because another FF title hasnt set the precedent yet doesn't mean it's illegal!

I didn't say I wanted it, I just said there's no point in limitations.

All the Final Fantasy games reflect in their successors. Doesn't matter if you don't like it. The whole point of the Job System is to reflect that it IS Final Fantasy and pull favorite parts from past FF games that people enjoy. Same reason they are bringing materia to XIV. This isn't VII right?

The point would be the separation of classes. Making them unique.

Never said I didn't like it.

Materia is a name, the materia system from VII won't be in XIV. They are bringing the name in to help bring the FF feeling into XIV.

Classes are already unique. The Job System isn't being implemented to fix Classes. Its being implemented to increase player Nostalgia and to set defined Roles for players to follow should they chose. Roles don't define the weapon you use, just the tasks you perform in combat. Your a white mage, so you heal, Doesn't matter what weapon you equip your going to heal.

They gave us freedom. Look at the piece of shit that came out of it: the current Armory System.

Yeah... classes are so unique that we've been having this discussion for months..

The Materia system is simply a "crafting" system that lets you modify a weapon with stones to give you benefits. In FFVII it gave you skills, traits, and stat bonuses. Because skills are already granted by the weapon iteself and in the future jobs. Materia will simply give traits and stat bonuses maybe a few might give skills but that will be rare. Its the same system.
