Sooo... how are the new jobs gonna interact with classes?

Kinda... if you throw cross-class in the mix, stuff can get messy... specially if other jobs can get cross-class skills FROM the new jobs. As it is right now, you can get CLASS skills as cross class, but not JOB. How will that work in the future, when they add more jobs? Will the new jobs be able to get skills from each other?

Oh, I missed this when I replied earlier. I'm guessing we'll have more class-based jobs in the future, and that this is just a stop-gap while they figure out how to repair the class/job system.

Personally, I'd like to see classes become much more generalized and with a broader range of skills. Classes should be semi-hybrids, fitting into two-ish roles based on how you're geared (IE, Gladiator should be tank/dps), and then jobs should be focused into one specific role(IE PLD would be the pure tank job off of Gladiator, with some other job being pure DPS off of it). Unfortunately, the 'Unholy Trinity' seems to be the way roles work in this game, and that sucks because it dramatically limits the game's flexibility.
