[Shower Thought] Cross Job System reborn

Since we still don’t know what scope the job changes will be, I’ve been coming up with my fun little idea on how cross job skillsets could work in this game since I'm in a writing mood.
I’m not including any potencies etc. since it’s not really supposed to be a detailed description. The main focus is the added gameplay choice and customization that may complement with your base job you want to bring into a duty, making every player encounter unique!

Those small kits are designed to complement a base Job of around 12-15 buttons, which you’ll be able to take 2 cross job kits (first at level 30 the second at about level 60) to fully customize your base job based on your playstyle and needs. Ideally the total button number should end up at 24 (12 base job skills, 6 cross job skills, 6 useful role exclusive skills eg. Basic cure spells for healers).
This will free up the Base job skillset to be truly unique among each other, without being bound too much by the role.
The base job has to be appropriately leveled to level 30/60 to be able to be used. You can design skill effect upgrades at level 60 to leave a sense of progression.

All skills are designed be primarily limited by MP, allowing a freestyle usage across the base and slotted in cross job kits.

Here are the individual jobs, happy reading!

(thanks for reading – I hope I did your main job(s) justice!)

The reason why the crossclass system was scrapped and replaced by role abilities learned automatically is because players did not want to have to level classes they had no interest in just to unlock a required crossclass ability for their prefered class/Job. The current system streamlined all that so that you simply gain the abilities as you go along and are always available to each class.

Also, your idea is based around the concept of ability customization, which although great on paper, in practice never works because players inevitably discover what works the best for a situation (what gives the greatest benefit for the least effort) and will insist on only using that combination of abilities, and hassle anyone who dares think outside the box. FFXI suffered from this problem far too much with it's sub-Job system, and FFXIV 1.0 did too with the original incarnation of the Armory System and crossclassing abilities. Yoshi was determined to ensure ARR did not suffer the same problem, hence ability homogenization.

Yes it may seem staid, but really, that's the price that has to be paid - the current system is a better choice, because players aren't hassled or discriminated simply because they decided not to have a certain ability equipped that the minmaxers decided was the 'meta'. Now everyone has the same abilities and so there is a far more even playing field.

Yeah Enkidoh perfectly summarized my thought.

Great post though. Would be neat in an alternative gamemode but that can't work in practice for regular raiding.
