Yet another person who throws "troll" around whenever someone upsets them. Being on the internet is no excuse to making yourself look like you have bad spelling. Want to be taken seriously? Spell properly.

Ah, so you missed the point of what school was for.

Where is the source that current classes will still remain in 3.0?

It is the consequence of being still able to play the game after expansion, by all players that did not buy the expansion. They just will not be able to go in new places ur use new classes. It was in last Q&A session about.

I don't want classes to go away. I want classes to be MADE USEFUL and RELEVANT. This game currently has ten "jobs" when it SHOULD have nineteen. Classes should always have been as useful as jobs; players should need to put serious consideration as to whether to put on that Soul Gem or not. As it stands, the "decision" isn't a decision at all.

The class/job system had a lot of interesting potential: Specialization versus diversification through cross-class skills, multiple jobs branching from a single class, and so on. SE pretty much took a giant dump on that potential practically from the get-go, and by all indications has decided to take the easy way out by leaving it behind.

You're on a forum. Use spell check. Those squiggly red lines aren't trying to be your friend.

I never said I wanted more classes.

I said that Current Classes most likely stay in the game while every new Job from here on out will be Job only that does not require classes.

Really it is not that hard to compute that SE may keep the Current classes, being GLA, THA, ACN, ARC, CNJ, MAR, PUG, ROG, and LNC, remain in FF14 while they continue to make new Jobs that do not require Classes like DK, Mach, and Astro.

Hi Deathscythe343,

I know SE has mentioned that they would like to move away from the class > job concept for future jobs. I would like to think that, A)this is because it seems like we already have most classes. They are essentially the base roles one would find in just about any game. B) They might be moving to a job 1 + job 2 = new job format. Which seems interesting.

Does all this imply moving toward the way it's done in Skyrim? If a Skyrim character can carry a weapon S/he can use it.

I think the best bet, though I doubt this will be done by Heavensward, is to just revamp the base classes into full-fledged jobs of their own. They can share similar bases to their advanced jobs, but develop into something more unique post-30. This way they don't have to redo or gut a whole bunch of lore.

I'd like cross class skills to be revamped though. The restrictions really need to be removed. It's one of the only possibilities for variation we have on our character and it's very Final Fantasy. I really would rather the system be given a chance to shine before everyone considers throwing the Squire out with the bathwater.
