Idea: Split Archer into Bard and Ranger

[liljramos88]

Branching classes could be still viable in FF14 not at this moment but in the future yes the reason why is that the new skills are job specific and the Exp gain given is to the base class right know we just increase to lvl 60 and only gain a a few abilities let's asume that we get 4 new skills each for every ten lvl. So by the time we have the lvl cap of 80 for example we could have enough skills to change the gameplay of a class. Let's assume You lvl up Bard to 80 your base clas is at 80 right know all the skills that you learned so far are all bards skills. You get a job quest to get ranger at 80 so all those skills from let's say 50 and onward will be given to you witch is enough to change the rotation at that point and bc u already lvl up Archer to 80. Another reason will be trares we don't have anymore they stop after you hit 50

Button bloating. Unless the new skills are going to directly replace the class skills (like Broil and Stone III). And even then, this is on the basis that we have a level cap of 80 which is in the very very far future. If they wanted to make branching jobs work, they're better off doing it sooner and redoing the classing system so their inherent playstyle will change as soon as they equip the job crystal, much like duelle's example

much like duelle's example

That is what everyone would like to have
