    Cairdeas I kind of see what you are getting at, although I don't think that an Archer should really be using cure to begin with and is part of what I mean when I talk about the dilution of class skills.

    Lets imagine an archer unable to equip any other class abilities but within his own specialisation, he would no longer be able to cure, use second wind or bloodbath, the game has just become a lot more difficult for this class in terms of survivability.

    Sure there will be lot of thing he may not be able to solo now, so he is now forced to team up with a Conjurer or Thaumaturge, classes also become more valuable during end game content and party activities.

    The intro movie shows a Conjurer imbuing an archers arrow with fire and I agree it would add a pretty nifty aspect to the game, but again i think that it should be a buff such as enfira cast by a conjurer (maybe a new job/class ?) than an archer actually using the spell himself.

    That new job is Arcanist ^_^ but if they restricted the skills to only the class that you are currently on then let you equip any of the new jobs they would add would be completely fine to me. Nothing wrong with a Conjurer/Thief but it probably wouldn't be the best combination kind of like WAR/WHM.

    With the implementation of Jobs limiting what you were good at limiting the Weapon Class to its own skill makes the Job System Pointless at that point and does kill the Armoury System as it is.

    Instead a Archer/Black Mage would be someone who specializes in Black Magic, but uses an Arrow to deliver that power.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
