[Reminder] Classes Are Not Jobs [dev1033]

[Cairdeas]

I liked the post. You preety much expressed my feelings. I love present system, and i believe i actually would quit game if it get removed. ( or maybe not, we will see) But on topic...Classes, jobs and roles, are something we impose on ourselves. When you have good friends you pla alot this system is awesome. becouse in reality role is something we decide on. We need tank in party, i take class and equipment and than fill skills that will make me a tank. Healer? weapon +skills i am healer. What i would love tho would be ability to save skill configurations, without painfully making macros. Need to switch role for part, i go to skills, select drop butto/drop down menu/whatever/ for predefined/user defined skill set. Quick and painless.

That Idea was included into my Idea thread. You equip a Job and on the first time you equip it, its loads you out with the core skills for that Job learned from all classes already. You can then modify the load out as you see fit and from then on that Job loadout is Saved.

Kind of like an automatic macro like in Call of Duty.

I hope Yoshi and the development team decide on option B of their proposal. This option suggests keeping the classes as they are now with some tweaks, and then encouraging and fostering specialisations. They just need to support some staple FF jobs with the armory system and I think all will be satisfied.

THe only hiccup in the road comes when dealing with the concept of a sword wielding mage. The two reasons that prevent a mage of this type from being viable is low magic potency, as we've discussed, and also the lack of AoE magics. Previously MP management was a huge issue with a melee mage, but now that's out of the equation, only these two problems remain.

Creating a red-mage for example, is near impossible under the current system. So the developers will need to support players who decide to create this role in other ways; new weapons, extra stats, etc.

Belief is the still not unlocked "Fencer" would be a magic based weapon class that would allow for a closer loadout for Red Mage.

Yeah, I saw that once upon a time. Hopefully it gets implemented one day soon. I really want to emulate a red mage someday.
