Heres something that has been bugging me.

Where does it ever say White Mage can't use Spears? Sure in most past final fantasy games they can't. All of the ones since VI have been limited asset games though. Even if there was a character designed to be a white Mage they were designed to only use a certain weapon but thats the individualization of that character themselves.

But in older FF games like III, VI, T etc. White Mages could easily use spears in some cases. All it took was a "Use Spears" Skill that was equipped to the character.


In XIV were supposed to be designing our characters. Not Classes. Not Jobs. But the Character itself as a whole. So why should we be limited in any choice other then stat allocation which can be modfied and countered by properly equipped gear?


If a Player wants to wield a Spear and be considered a Healer by equipping the White Mage Job they should. Not because it doesn't make sense. But because thats how they wish to design and represent their character. You might scream that this destroyed Character Uniqueness but in reality it promotes it.

Id rather see everything evolve to the point that a player could do what ever he wants on his own time, then specialize to fit the need of a party on the party time. You might not like that player choses to wield a certain weapon while performing a certain task on their own. But that doesn't limit you, it doesn't hurt you, they are not getting anything you do not have access too. They are having fun, which should be the reason your playing.
