Rogue's 2nd job

[Souljacker]

I'm thinking revising the class/job system is going to happen by "Specializing" a class, ex. CNJ to WHM to Geomancer, or MRD to WAR to Dark Knight, along those lines.

That would be even worse than what we have now. So you have to play a completely generic class to 30 to unlock the job you really wanted to play all along, just to be able to unlock the third "evolution" of the job? The whole class\job system needs to be scrapped entirely. It was a terrible idea and it's going to cause nothing but frustration and headache and for what, to say "we're being true to eorzea"? I have news - there has been so much retconning (for the better) that no one cares whether there is still a "Lancer's" guild or they all start calling themselves dragoons. Classes don't have a guild, they have a storyline, and with the way they set up classes there is absolutely no reason to use the base classes, at all, ever.

I don't and I've been playing FF games longer than you I can bet that.

I doubt that, sweetheart. I'm definitely in the older age bracket here, old enough to remember writing my first program in BASIC as a child on a trash-80. I don't see how age affects the validity of my opinions, however. I feel that calling it rogue and making it a stealth-based class just to conform to what "other" mmos do is a mistake. I didn't come back here because I wanted to play WoW. I came back here because I love White Mages and Black Mages and Warriors and Dragoons and everything else that has been a part of Final Fantasy lore for time out of mind. I came back here because Yoshi-P took the game in a better direction. I came back here because the world was brand new, and after a decade in XI it was time to move on to the next generation.

And there's only a couple things that could make me leave again. Straying too far from "Final Fantasy" is one of them.
