This of course assuming that A)this info is true, B)they don't add more jobs that you can equip on the fly on top of your class later, and C)they go with a carbon copy of stuff they had in FFXI(which seems likely now).
It doesnt seem likely since Matsui already stated they arent going to be similar to XI, even with the auto-attack base of the new battle system. I'm also not sure why there are people thinking that we arent going to get more job types in the future. Now as far as instantly translating class rank to job rank once unlocked...i'm not sure if thats a good thing or not. On one hand, it might let people get into jobs and questing for job skills/beating up rank 50 dungeons easier...on the other, you might have people quickly gaining all current job abilities without learning how to play as said job first.

Regardless, even if we do get the same "staple" jobs, im sure they wont be exactly the same as the XI versions.

Job system just sounds really bad atm in the way they are implementing it.
How so?
