I'm pretty much in agreement with this concept... just changing the actual class names to old FF class names would amount to nothing at this point.

I'd love to see them open up more class advancement possibilities though. For instance, after reaching rank 30-50 Conjurer, a player can access a new quest-chain to unlock a more advanced or specialized caster class (Summoner, "Red Mage", etc.), Thaumaturge could explore options as maybe a Philosopher, Priest, or more dark-magic oriented class (Warlock, Black Mage, etc.), Marauders could explore options as different weapon-master classes or possibly more Lore-oriented classes, etc...

At first I thought we should have the traditional jobs as unlocks like an advanced job but thinking about it, I dont want to see Black Mage as advanced, in my mind I already am a Black Mage! full int, full thunder and fire elements and in XI terms subbing whm with the suport heals from conj and thm. So... i would actually prefer the current jobs renamed rather than have the traditional job titles as "Advanced" jobs.

but I personally wouldnt like the current jobs renamed. I would prefer to see unlockable-via-quests advanced skills, "Summoning" skill (SMN), "Marksmanship" skill (COR?), "Shepparding" skill (BST?) etc. with all the requirements. R30 conj can learn summoning skills.

Agreed. Final Fantasy Tactics has been one of the more interesting FF's of late.

Edit: And you could do a quest to unlock them after you reach that point.

This would be a great idea. I remember that I wanted a system like this for FFXI way back in the day. =)

Changes to existing classes are needed for the advanced class system, as a THM I'm TOTALLY open to it, my class is boring. I press sac II most of the time and my enfeebles don't matter. To implement a RDM something that is overpowering in my opinion even in XI sometimes (but so awesome), they would need to toughen up mobs to even make enfeebles matter. Peistes and high level leves (faction leves) are the only mobs that really react to my enfeebles (and efts), but the game is based around leveling on mobs that die is 30 secs. So I want an advanced class system but the mobs would have to change to be able to last to some of the jobs in XI just in theory.

Class name change for classic is not something i want and is not important at all. I'm in favor for the Advance Class system with those classic names on it.

Class Name changes would probably be difficult to implement... However, new classes with the old names would work well.

I'll always be a Black Mage or Summoner, and the old class names are synomous with Final Fantasy, so can we have some of that old FF feel back please? I would love to Menchi Tide the Black Mage someday =]

Lets have:

White Conjurer > Conjurer > Black Conjurer

Red Thaumaturge > Thaumaturge > Astral Thaumaturge

Mystic Summoner > Mystic > Mystic Scholar

My 2 cents.

Hey ^^

Also the middle versions can be thought of as grey mages, as they are now.
