    Class = solo style play
    Job = party style play

    Classes can equip 90% of all abilities granted you've taken the time to learn them therefore you are more "Jack of all trades than any Job could ever dream of
    Jobs gain bigger boons in their area of expertise but lack in terms of being able to do "a lot of different things" and have to rely on each other (other jobs) in order to function.

    Classes are not more powerful than Jobs and Jobs are certainly not more powerful that Classes, both have a check and balance concept that hopefully is flushed out wherein they will all still be wanted depending on the style of play and requirements.



    EDIT: As it is now, we don't know if CON can be both a BLM and a WHM (its a 1:1 ratio, this is word straight from Yoshi-P's mouth) and as it stands now it seems to be that each job is locked to a particular class. IE: LNC becomes DRG and MAR cannot become DRG because of this. (Assumed)

    No,

    class = weapon/learning of abilities
    job = role/application of abilities


    This whole class for solo, job for party is a self-mutilating step taken to shrink the potential of the armory system.

    I shall now start going into crazy rant mode.
