Do you know how long it took for each class to be released in FFXI? You were lucky if you got a couple every year or so.

It's just a huge commitment when they needn't create jobs in that specific way. There are ways to implement a job system which does not conflict with the armoury system and merely builds upon it, for less effort, and less wasted time.

They are basically just doing it all wrong in a bid to appeal to people's fandom rather than create a good game.
