Final Fantasy XIV 3.0 Heavensward

Bottom line, the current class system actually makes more sense than any system that would replace it.
Additionally the cash shop makes sense from a business standpoint and if it will ever "ruin the game" that point will likely be years off.

Now let's go back to the stuff that we'll have.

- Most likely we will see another Grand Company.

Or alternatively, instead of a GC, we would join one of the houses.

Do we know anything about Ishgard functioning as a starting are?

The current class/job system is presumably designed to work one of two ways:

1. Small number of classes that can split into separate jobs at level 30 (e.g. Gladiator class becomes Paladin or Dark Knight at level 30).
2. Large number of classes with a 1-to-1 relationship with their respective jobs (Gladiator class becomes Paladin, Lancer becomes Dragoon, etc.)

The problem with this system is that neither of these scenarios makes sense given the way it currently works.

In scenario 1 if you level your Paladin to 50 your Dark Knight job would also be level 50 despite having no real experience with the job.

In scenario 2 if each class has only one job, why over-complicate things? Just let people pick their desired job from the start.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they reworked the system to fit better with either scenario. I could see them "detaching" jobs from the class and requiring players to level them separately, for example.

You mean like other games which have classes with multiple specs? These aren't insurmountable hardships. Certain jobs are just easier to run through story content vs dungeons. Its why I ran Summoner to 50 for everything outside dungeons, but generally scholar it up at 50.

Wait, what? Like, housing as in I put down 4 million gil and can own a house in Ishgard?

Well Yoshi hinted at housing wards in a snowy area when housing was first coming out. It prolly won't be IN Ishgard, just as the other cites don't have housing in the main cities, but a safe bet it it's going to be near there. My guess is after the expansion, it will be north of the Ishgard zone, a little ways.

if drk comes from gld, then it's same skills as pld mostly use. you just do quests and unlock 7 new skills (since lv cap will be 60 in expansion) so you just need to unlock those skills, and incorporate them into your build. i don't see how that would be any problem.
it would be silly to have to re-lv drk from scratch, since it share gld as base class.
you lv your class, not job.
you lv gld to 60, and any branching job shares the same skills in sword-play + job skills that you unlock through soul stone. job skills are not any different from the lv 15 and 30 skills, that you unlock via class quests.
Yoshi already said that they are NOT overhauling the entire system...so i don't know why ppl are still expecting that.

My biggest wish for new classes/jobs in the expansion is that we see a new healing class and at least one magic dps class.
