FFXIV Jobs clarification.

[Drex]

A lot of you seem to think of the upcoming jobs as the way they are in FFXI. You get you Gladiator to level 30 and then you quest to unlock Paladin.

I read something different. To me it looks like jobs are Talent trees/specs for the current classes.

Below is a video of the mage class and it's 8 specializations(jobs) in Rift.

Now I'm not trying to promote that game but i think this video illustrates well what i think SE is trying to do with Jobs in FFXIV. Granted that conjurer probably won't have 8 jobs to chose from... at least not any time soon but the general idea is well demonstrated.

Anyone else thinks this is what SE is doing?

I really hope is not like rift....

I have not played that crappy game, but a friend of mine who did, told me that when you lv 1 job/class automatically you lv up all the classes in your tree...so cap 1 class and you have like 8 classes capped LOL.... --;

thats the most stupid thing SE can do.... i wanna use/feel/learn my jobs...i dont wanna a damn lvup button in the game..

pls SE keep this crap away from FFXIV...

I don't think you have to worry.

If they can apply the same terminology, but don't level up all the other jobs within that Class, then thats fine

Yes. I was implying that jobs would be specializations within the same class just as in the video pyromancer and elementalist are both MAGE Specializations/jobs. I wasn't implying that they would use the same system and level all jobs along your class like Rift.
