Here's how the Jobs will look like. They're on the cover of November Famitsu Connect

They used the same races to make it feel better for the players from FFXI getting into FFXIV. They're not going to base everything else on FFXI, especially endgame stuff.

And, the job classes are using the names from the classic FF classes, which the XI ones derived from. Based on your arguments I am going to assume you have never played the prime FF games of the series which these armours and FFXI itself derived from.

Edit: And I'd had better hope that the Famitsu picture is accurate, because it takes several months to get that kind of stuff ready. If they only decide to change all the outfits this month, you won't expect to see your beloved armour for another half a year.

It's wrong to assume stuff about people. I'm talking mostly of the games current trend, and that trend is to appease those who desire the game to be more challenging and more like FFXI. It will never be exactly like it, hopefully, but it will be more like it. Where do you think the idea for exp chains is coming from? I don't remember any classic FF games having EXP chains, and I haven't played any other MMO's with it, besides XI. They will possibly have skill chains sometime at or after 1.20 too. It is a possibility that none of the end-game(?) looks will stay as in the picture.

A couple of things from FFXI does not make the game a clone of FFXI. They have been taking things from other FF games too. Hence the armours.

Edit: Does the fact that the game has materia make it FFVII?

Obnoxious Edit 2: If yes to the above question, we might as well make dragoons look like this. Here is the dragoon from FFVII.

Ludicrously Sarcastic Edit 3: Oh look he's not purple.

So all the others will look the same but the 'dragoon' must be different, because it is 'dragoon'.

Looking at the picture again, it could very well be a scythe the 'dragoon' is wielding.
