Dark Knight= No base class?

From another thread. Fits here too.

I don't think they will be removed from the game. Existing classes will still... exist. But being as they are not including a class for Dark Knight, it may very well be that from 3.0 onward future Jobs will not have a class.

Or they may add new classes when they feel the need for new cross class abilities to be necessary.

But judging from their approach to Dark Knight, I think they will likely not be adding any new classes after 3.0.

My thoughts exactly. They realized the problems with the armoury/class system. For each Job to be unique they needed to make a new Class. So if expansion had 3 new jobs, that's 3 new classes. It's easier going forward to just implement Jobs. The Class system is tied into the 3 City States, this can easily mean the future of classes is to stay in the past. It's ugly but it's the most viable option. Dark Knight is it's own Job, Samurai it's own Job, etc etc. People want to be the Iconic FF Jobs, not the silly lesser named Classes they have to play until level 30 so they can be the Job. Chances are we're seeing a newly revamped cross class system or the entire do-away-with of it, instead of it being a unique system it was crazy limited it what skills we could cross class so here to the future of opening up everything.
