Me too, since jobs are all about playing together in a party I want party play for getting the gear!

We will know next week...

Huh?! Rukkirii can you please clear this up it was written kind of funny. do you mean Crafted + 1 materia < JSE. Crafted + 2 materia > JSE (or will be later?)

I was able to sneak a peek at the documents regarding the upcoming job system announcement coming next week and I smuggled out a lil' morsel that you might be interested in. I figure, if you all knew what classes were required for each job, you could set a goal to raise them up over the weekend (if you're like Camate who was all "omg Bayohne, help me level up my lancer tomorrow!"...).

Take a gander at the requirements to begin the quests to unlock the jobs... (don't tell Yoshi-P I showed you!) ;)

Thanks very much for the update. Always nice to get info like this.

Have to admit though, some of those reqs don't make sense to me. Oh well, I have all the reqs already anyway.

You're secret's safe with me, Bayohne!

Thanks for the info. Now I know I'm ready, what with all my battle classes at 50.

So after talking to some LS friends I ran into some confusion about the new jobs, they say that the job stone will act more like a title? Say you're a lvl 50 GLD and you go PLD, do you start over over or do you have all your lvl 50 GLD stats and can just flythrough the PLD quest line? I was anticipating this patch was a whole lot of new content but if the later is the case I see all the people with all DoW/DoM @50 breezing through the content in less then a week? And for say someone with a GLD/MRD @30 switching to PLD does this mean I still have to lvl GLD to 50 for the stats/skills anyways?

Speaking of classes and jobs, what class/job were you looking forward to most?

Essentially the job is like a title or a mode switch, yes. Leveling your Gladiator levels your PLD and vice versa, they are the same entity, one is just better for solo/small parties and the other is better for large parties.

We don't know much about the job quests but the early ones will probably be easy to do if you are 50 already.
