    I hope this game doesn't follow WoW's expansion routine.

    1 new class per expansion... Ugh..

    XI had at least two new jobs per expansion and pumped out content like crazy.

    Since this game is as much as a WoW clone as you can get nowadays I hope they don't also clone the expansion routine.

    "Level up to 60! 1 new class: Musketeer with one new job: Corsair! One new zone! One new dungeon!"

    How about no.

    Most expansions gave 3 new jobs in XI.

    Hell, this game needs more jobs. XI began with 12 and that game was released more than 10 years ago, that's a lot more than this game has. Over three years SE added...... two. Two new jobs. Wow.

    XI started with 6 jobs my friend.

    It didn't start in the USA.

    This has been covered in other posts.

    Jobs and Classes are two different things, remember. A job only has a few abilities that add onto the class, which has to make up the other 17 abilities and 11 traits.

    I wouldn't be surprise if we only got one, maybe two classes per expansion, but multiple jobs (not just for the new classes, but for already-existing classes).

    No it didn't, you started playing on '04 (NA) release or '05 (EU) release, the game was TWO YEARS OLD by the time you first saw it and had already had its first full expansion, Zilart.

    Research the history of FFXI and then you'll not be so ignorant about what you're talking about.

    I'm talking about the USA release, since you know, we are on the English forums and not the Japanese forums, my friend.

    The game came out in 2003 for North America. Research the history of FFXI and then you'll not be so ignorant about what you're talking about.

    I guess SE should have made the game Japan only for a full year AGAIN then before letting you play it?

    Then you could have what you wanted on "release"

    Then you would be on here complaining you want access (like the PSO2 people are)

    Do not think you will ever be happy.

    We know the history thank you.

    I think zilart came with samurai, dragoon, ninja? Can't remember what cop introduced, jobs wise (summoner?) but I know for sure toau introduced blue mage, corsair, puppet master. Then wotg introduced scholar and dancer, while adoulin introduced geomancer and rune knights.

    So that's 3, 1 (unsure), 3, 2, 2? Hopefully ARR expansion starts with introducing 3 new jobs, or a major update introducing 1 job and then 2 jobs at expansion.

    Now that I think about it, that's quite a few jobs pre zilart (6 basic, 5 unlocks). Maybe some of them were from updates.

    You can't really do damage control after the original post you've made It's funny seeing to which lengths people will go only so they won't have to admit they were wrong. ARR forums on a Monday morning make my coffee taste better :3

    Ignorant post. 1 new class in wow has 3 specs with mastery and different ways it can be played. So 1 job in wow is like 3-4 jobs in ffxi and ffxiv. Due to how shallow jobs are in ff mmos with an utter lack of customization . Even if you wanted play classes in a different way , you simply can't due to the ilvl system and gear stat restrictions or secondary stats having little effect .
