Wouldn't having two "Freelance" classes make more sense than the current system?

Lets take these classes, Onion Knight and Onion Mage for simplicity, one being the base for DoW and the other DoM. As you level the class, you would learn "class" spells and skill. For instance the Mage would learn Cure, fire, protect, etc, while the Knight learns Provoke, second wind, invigorate. The weapons they can choose from would be pretty relaxed, melee weapons for DoW and staves/wands for DoM.

Around lv30, the class caps and the option to quest job souls becomes available, which start at level 1. These would obviously yield more job specific abilities such as flash/cover/sentinel for PLD. Once the soul is equip, obviously the selection of weapons is reduced to each job's main hand.This would allow for real diversity between jobs while still having a handful of low level abilities to choose from.

Yes.

this sounds even more confusing, and i'm not sure what purpose it serves. jobs are already diverse.

the current system also lays the groundwork for future class-to-(multiple)job interaction. people need to stop looking at this so short sightedly.

It's pretty much the same system, only it combines all of the DoW classes into one, and the same for the DoM classes.

But what about Archers

So maybe 1 magic, 1 close combat and one ranged?

But then the ranged would....just be Archer stuff for now >_> and not be able to use any of the melee stuff.

Yes, I like this idea a lot :)

So..............................


something like.. FFT Squire Class and Chemist Class? @_@
