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

Some classes don't make sense to point to on particular job though. Conjurer acts as a white mage and a black mage, so what are they going to do about that?

I hope at the very least they go for 2 jobs for the mages. The game is already distinctly DoW-heavy. And as you say, it's hard to view Conjurer as being *just* BLM or WHM when it clearly has the staple spells of both Jobs. Also, THM doesn't come across as very WHM to me. It feels distinctly more RDM with it's heavier emphasis on debuffs. Even the players are having a hard time speculating up 2 or 3 jobs for every single DoW (that would be 10-15 physical jobs). But it's not hard to come up with 4 ideas for mage Jobs. 3 of them are staples of most FF job systems (BLM, WHM, RDM).

The game just already felt very physical-class heavy to begin with, since they didn't include Arcanist as a class. I just hope we don't get BLM on Conjurer, then have WHM shoe-horned into THM, or have WHM as the Conjurer, and just not get BLM. Both of those would be bad.

The OLD Conjurer had staple spells of both jobs. Going back to Matsui-san's report:

Classes
Actions will undergo major revisions, along with both the underlying mechanics and conditions.

By major revisions, not only do we mean the tweaking of effects and potency of existing actions - we will work from the ground up to redesign and reassign actions based on clearly identified class roles.

I highlighted the word "reassign". At this point, I don't expect the classes to come out of this revision looking particularly similar to how they went in.

Anyone else recall Yoshi-P using the word reboot?
