Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

Like it hard to grind in the start with -.- dam casual players they pretty much made a dumb job system where you just are now Monk and lock to only using monk type spell,ws,ja. If they made it more like ffxi but made it so

Level up PUG to 30 you allow to unlock Monk or THF or you can just go on level up PUG.

If you unlock monk you start from level 1 with your own spell,ja,ws and you can't hybrid.

The better idea was to delete the full Class system and add jobs not even wow have hybrid anymore they limit it so much that you can only put a few spell from the other tree now unlock before.

Hey, don't blame casuals, I'm consider myself casual but I don't mind taking the time to do things. As long as the battle system stays fast paced, and we keep leves, guild tasks, and behests, getting SP shouldn't be too much of an issue.

I prefer the class/job system, that way the soloers and partiers are happy.

I call myself casual and i play 15+hours -.- that not the point

If let's say i do become a monk and am the same level as Pug and i have to use the same gear as pug they pretty much did noting. Am still not a real pug now if they add ws,ja,spell that only Monk can use then ok that sound great too me

the only thing i don't like that am still a Pug -.- i want to level monk from 1-50 not still be a pug with a title as a monk i think that the only problem i have i with it.

I see your concern, but we have no idea how it's going to work out just yet, so all we can do right now is wait. But here are a few quotes that may calm you down or give you an idea of how it's going to work:

"While playing as a particular job will render you unable to equip certain actions of other classes, you will be compensated with access to exclusive actions, which can be acquired through quests."

"Now, you didn’t hear this from me, but there are also rumors circulating that quests for obtaining job-exclusive equipment are also in the pipes."

ya that pretty much what i read also pretty much if unlock monk i can't use any spell from other class or job. I have to unlock them by doing quest which i think is pretty good.

Pretty much am not allow to put any action that Monk can not really use like fire,water but i still can get maybe cure and such.

I think i like it just the idea of not really being level 1 again while level up Monk if it like that then i love it if not then i guess it be boring because most ppl right now have 50 on lot's of job unlocking a title that give you spell of it own is not really fun if all you can do is dungeon sure it give me the role i want and AF but there no more leveling the point of a mmo is to level up at least that how i feel when playing FFXI. When playing wow it was more about getting to max and doing raids all day and getting gear it was not really about how you got there it just when you get there.

FFXI give you a road and lot's of thing to do while you level wow is more about oh level 1-85 and now you can do raids and all you do is dungeon dungeon dungeon. then if you want to level something new you have to make a new char and it was just getting very quick to the end not about how great it was to get there and building your class that what want in ffxiv more of a journey to get max.

actly its more like u unlock monk then because there ment for party related u wont be able to cross over other class abilitys and there for making it party only but then if u wanted to solo u would just switch to pug..

You still allow to get Spell from other class if it make sense to Monk like If you unlock Red mage you can get white magic,black magic and spell from some warrior type class but you also get your own like endspell,Haste and so on.

Pretty much that what i get from "While playing as a particular job will render you unable to equip certain actions of other classes, you will be compensated with access to exclusive actions, which can be acquired through quests."

I guess it's not that bad of a system we have to wait for it to release am sure it going to take month for SE to fix all the problems.

My personal hope and interpretation would be...
Thf- have to have gld and pug ranked to a certain rank since glad uses knives and pug has some skills attuned to thf.
DRK- have to have mrd and thm ranked to a certain rank since thm has drk spells and mrd uses 2 hnd massive damage weapon
PLD- the obvious GLD and SNT/CON con for the spells snt for the defense
and so on those are 3 examples I can see for those types of classes...
again we don't know what ranks/classes need to be reached for the jobs and how they will be implemented, but I really do hope it resets at r1 for them so you rank up to achieve new and better skill sets for the job instead of just given to you, because you are already a rank(something)

[Shura]

I think jobs will be and should be locked to classes. The whole reason they are changing the system is to have more unique roles for the classes, allowing it to be free for all simply repeats the very mistake they are trying to fix. Just as it makes no sense for conj/thm to be able to do wide volly in the current system, it also makes no sense to have a conj with dragoon job or a mrd with ranger job. Just because its called a job system does not mean its the same system from ffxi, simply saying FFXI allowed you to do it is not a reason and people need to remember FFXIV has a Armory System while FFXI had a Job/SubJob System(different from ffxiv job system).

I do hope they allow the use of more then one weapon type in the future, Such as MRD with DRK Job has access to scythe or GS and similar options for other classes.

Quests to unlock each job will become available once you have reached a certain rank in the corresponding class.
Rather than being advanced versions of classes, we would like players to think of jobs as specialized playing styles optimized for partying.

I think, having read this again, it might actually confirm they are locked to classes. Whilst it might be slightly badly worded, I think they're trying to say that they don't want people to consider these specific roles as superior to the current classes, leavng for example, conjurer to be left redundant in the place of Black mage even in solo situations. These aren't better, they're just alternatives options.

As for having a 'corresponding' class that unlocks the quest (notice it says class, not classes, why would a Thaumaturge not be able to take the quest to unlock Black mage, as well as conjurer? They're both magic casters)

cor·re·spond·ing
- Able to be matched, joined, or interlocked

I think it's all there, the wording is just so vague it's hard to pick out the facts.

My personal hope and interpretation would be...

Whilst I think I prefer your idea, it's clear (at least in the current design they have) the whole dual-class requirements aren't going to be necessary. As I said above, they only mention a rank requirement of a single class to unlock the quest.

[AlexiaKidd]

This topic is my number one concern when I read about the job system. From what we know I am very worried that Jobs will be locked to a certain class.

So if GLA unlocks PLD does that mean I won't be able to use a Great Sword?

If Great Sword becomes a new class what job will it unlock? DRK maybe but then will that be tied to Great Sword so no Scythes ; ;

What Class will unlock what job and how many jobs are unlocked per class? Will I have to level GLA a job I am not fond off to get access to PLD and DRK. CON will most certainly unlock WHM and BLM so I would guess 2 Job's per class. So with GLA if it did unlock DRK and PLD are both expected to use Sword? Would a new weapon set be unlocked for that Job? I think it would have to unlock something.

Just have so many questions about this and want to know if I am making progress in the right classes to get access to the Jobs I want.
