Job Titles Not Class Renaming

I think that might be too much :x Then you'd have 3 things gaining xp/sp/jp lol.

I like having more to do.

I guess But it might get daunting, Heck with my idea, I was mulling the idea that you couldn't even unlock the job system till 20 anyway.

I'm in support of MZ's idea, i think its a great way to handle this problem

Thanks ^_^

Very yes and no to a lot of these topics.

For post #1, I think some areas you've discussed have some merit. But a lot of what you're suggesting is a little ridiculous.



Some class names I do agree need to be changed, such as:

Gladiator: A tanking class with sword and board is a defender, a paladin, etc. Not a 'gladiator'
Lancer: is acceptable due to the removal of the wyvern aspect.
Archer/Ranger: works for me as well. Pugilist/Monk either way doesn't bother me.
Thaumaturge: wtf is a thaumaturge? It's a friggin Red Mage
Maurader: No issues

Conjurer: as an entire class is kind of messed up to me. It seems to play more like Scholar than anything else in a way. But both white and black magic have been combined. I understand that it makes a healing class more 'solo-able', but for people that want to fill Dps roles in parties, and 'not' main heal, it leaves us stuck. Combining the two was a bad choice in my opinion. I agree with Alicia_WM about the different weapon choices to split the jobs.

Okay, so your definition of a Paladin is any dude who can wield a shield and wear armor? Instead of the more common traditional definition which was a holy warrior. Also, how would defender/paladin even come close to a dagger-wielding class?

That might not be completely true though.

Gladiator in my system could easily accept Thief, Ninja, Warrior, Paladin, Red Mage, Dragoon, Viking, Soldier, and a mariad of older Jobs. Gladiator is just a sword user any job that used swords could use it as its base class, but again in my system any job can be attached to any class.

Not to be too technical but the definition of Paladin is even more vague, it really means "someone who fights for a cause" having originated in the Courts of Charlemagne, it meant someone who fought for Charlemagne's cause. (just a francophile here)

Right, which is why I was careful to say "common traditional definition". Although it would've been more accurate to say "modern fantasy" definition, the definitions of modern fantasy are just plain f***ed by today's standards, and I was afraid to use those words.
