Jobs start @50?

[AlexiaKidd]

I think Jobs will start at Level 30 at the latest as we are getting a Level 30 Dungeon so you would think you would have access to them by then. I personally think you will get access to them before even that so you can get a feeling for them before the dungeon maybe Level 20-25.

*EDIT*

Unless of course the R30 Dungeon IS how you unlock the Job. So completing it on a certain class will unlock the Job for that Class maybe.

*EDIT 2*

Maybe the Dungeon is where you get your first bit of AF gear for your Job.

Jobs won't have levels and as such won't need to be leveled up. Jobs are an advanced form of the class that unlocks them. So for example purposes, a level 50 Gladiator would be a level 50 Paladin. (Example only!)

Also we can confirm that we'll be changing the term "ranks" (as in rank 50 Pugilist) to "levels" (as in level 50 Pugilist) along with the removal of the physical level. We'll also be changing skill points to experience points.

In summation:
Rank > Level
Skill points > Experience points

Do Not Want, Rage Quit. lol Seriously this so freaking counters everything FFXIV was advertised to me. I think this alone might have just broken my will to stay, I don't think Female Roegadyn are strong enough to keep me playing now.

Well this is a Job Title System. "Your Job is your hat". It just that your only allowed to wear a certain hat when you're holding a particular stick. One stick can still have multiple hats.

Please also keep in mind that there are still many unannounced details regarding the job system and I was only speaking to a specific question that was being asked/was a point of confusion. I suggest waiting for further announcements for more intricate details.

All I really ask of you Bayohne is please tell the developer's I'll hunt them down if Lancer->Dragoon doesn't have Jump from day 1. (Also, put us back into heaviest tier of armor again please, platemail is part of what makes dragoon's jumping ability so impressive. And I'll pass on the wyvern this time around, so there's no factoring that in to weakening our damage input as a result.) But really, Jump!

Actually each stick only comes with 1 hat right now, sorry =/.

I 100% disagree with this
please give dragoons the "Fall" ability on day 1 and force them to fight in their underwear

I'm going to give it a shot, but still, this is pretty much counter to everything I enjoy about the game now.

With how the job system has now been described it would have been easier if they just removed the Class names and implemented the job system from the ground up mimicing FF3/t/11 etc.

I'd enjoy that more then this clusterbomb that is being implemented. Because at least then theres a chance I can still use my prefered weapon on my prefered job when its still socially acceptible as such. IE Paladins and Samurai with Lances or Warriors with Great Axes, Great Swords, and Hand Axes. Or Great Swords for everyone.

1 Job, 1 Weapon is boring, And will be boring forever. I don't know why anyone would support such nothingness.

That's not what Bayohne said though. He didn't say anything on that. Maybe that is the way, but maybe it isn't. Stay tuned!

Then they would have to rewrite everything in the game, including the lore, the guilds, all the cut-scene's..etc.
And pretty much have to wipe everyone's progress, and since they said from day 1 that wouldn't be the case, the only other alternative, was to build on top of what we already had.
