Will classes still exist in 2.0?

It feels as though that will be limited due to the system.

Keep classes, because starting as a Paladin sounds terrible. They could probably change the names instead.

I agree that starting as a PLD does sound terrible, but that because in the current system you aren't supposed to.

Plus I don't see what removing classes has to do with the armoury system and equipping weapons, I like the limitations of the armoury system but think classes serve very little purpose.

SE will keep classes around because in XI there were jobs that were good at soloing and some that weren't, there were jobs thats sucked in parties and others that shinded in the lime light. You guys know which ones im talking about! many jobs were excluded from the games content, some jobs more then others but the main thing is they were frowned upon becasue they could only work in parties or solo or whatever,etc. this time around in XIV SE wants to avoid that problem by having classes that a more flexible and are capable of doing more roles, typically low man/soloing and jobs being the "specific man" for the job aimed for more endgame/full parties.

Yes.
