Dark Knight

[whoopeeragon]

I will like to point out the reason why Dark Knight may not have a class is because it is a Advance Job.

Yoshi-P mentioned back in 2.0 he has plans for Advance Jobs that will require may be 2 Jobs to unlock such as the example he used being Red Mage requiring both Black Mage and White Mage.

Someone who actually uses their brain when reading that statement! And not jumping on the 'get rid of the classes/yay no classes anymore' train!

Sure, adjustments here and there will be nice, but getting rid of the current classes? You'll be butchering the lore and backstories of three city-states to the point that history may as well take a dump people obviously don't care for it. Asides from PLD, none of the jobs have ANY special history with the three starter city-states. Let's use Gridania as an example~

Gridania's lore involving the elementals will be utterly destroyed if Conjurer got removed. You can hardly say its easy to replace conjurers with White Mages considering their powers have a substantial difference, with White Mage already established a source of their power (Amdapor City) and how Conjurers have a deep history with interactions of the forest's elementals.. If DRGs were to replace Lancers? May as well cut out the entire history of Wood Wailers then, because Dragoons came from Ishgard, so congratulations, you just eliminated a third of Gridania's battle force!

I don't mind adjustments. I want jobs themselves to have more prominent features and skills, but cutting out the class system is not an option.

It's not hard to imagine why DRK may not require a class. Of Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, Ul'dah and Ishgard, Ishgard is the one city-state which ties a job so heavily into its history that it doesn't have a base class in its city of origin; Dragoon. Or if it does, it's expected by lore for Dragoons to lead the war against the Dravanian Horde, so it remains a big part of Ishgard. Seeing this, it won't be hard to imagine the expansion having other cities with heavy roots with jobs instead of classes.

Well remember Yoshi-P said MAY require 2 Jobs to unlock Advance Jobs.

If Advance Jobs require 2 Jobs to unlock then those 2 Jobs may require to first reach a certain point in their Job story before the player will be allowed to unlock Dark Knight (which may start out at lvl 1 or higher so players can practice and learn how to play them). I won't be surprised if Dark knight may require player to complete the lvl 50 Paladin Job Quest and lvl 50 Warrior Job Quest as a requirment to unlock the Advance Job.

However, that requirement will also cause a **** storm of complaining and blood lust for SE developers heads as well. (Which I will certainly be looking forward to seeing.)

So a little work behind unlocking a class is bad? It will be almost 2 years since the game has been out, if people still only have 1 job to 50 by then.... its your fault.

pretty sure if they did something like that they would have also labeled Dark Knight as an advance job instead of job

seems to me that they are just moving away from the whole class>job system
