So..Lets talk jobs?

[Alcide]

Hey everyone, this is producer/director Yoshida.

I seem to recall there being a discussion about what each class will become job-wise in a previous thread. While it's still a bit too early to talk about the specifics, I will let you know a bit about the plan. Once it becomes possible to publicize the specs, I plan on making a post in battle mechanics section, but since job implementation will be taking place post-class balance adjustments, it is going to take some time. (Planning for post patch 1.20.)
Matsui, Gondai, and myself, are creating this plan, and the early jobs are based on "party balance."

Sorry, what??
I remember reading something about the dungeons needing certain roles in order to be compleated, in particular needing a certain "job" and not a simple "class"...
What's the point in bringing the dungeons 2 patchs before what we need to complete them properly? o.O

it means that you wont cut it unless you kit yourself out in a specific role oriented gear and skills. IE a half assed tank will die, a half DD will fail, you will probably need someone specifically curing. etc.
Believe it or not you can make optimized roles in this game as is, its just that for fighting the stuff we normally fight its not needed.

the other factor is class rebalancing is coming with this update as well, so most likely the most generic classes will be more focused.
Sorry to the poor mage who will become the cure class.
