The main problem i think people have, is putting the two jobs together kind of lowers the chance of a more support heavy real instrument using bard, and it doesnt go with the idea that people have for archer. It would be fine if there was more than one option for archer, but if they can only be bard, its kind of sad.

I think that is teh major problem with the job system as proposed. some things fit well, and others feel like they are forcing classes into jobs. Con->whm thm->blm and archer->brd? stand out. Not only do they kind of clash, but they lower the possibility of their being classes with a stronger synergy for those roles.

Thm isnt really what most people want from a blm
Con loses half its cool stuff if its a whm
archer being brd isnt the type DD or support people might want for a bow user, and makes it so a true instrumentalist is unlikely.


That said the pic is pretty awesome, and does still inspire me to play the system. But im a pug, and i love the FF monk concept. Even though they dont entirely intersect.

honestly it would probably be better if these jobs had at least 2 alternatives for each. and maybe some added weapon choices for some jobs.
pug could go monk or assassin
gladiator fencer or paladin
mrd war or bserker
con whm or blm
thm some 2 new things
archer some actual bow based job and one more support oreinted.

etc.


Still overall pretty exciting pic.
