If You Were A Class/Job Designer...

[Syzygian]

Well in spite of what were probably Spooky's best intentions this turned from a suggestion/adjustment discussion thread into a "Here's 3 totally different tanks that I would replace the 3 existing tanks with because SE should just quit, go home, and hire me to do the job instead! " thread.

I for one am pretty vexed by the amount of nostalgia-mongering that insists a job cannot ever outgrow its first 1 or 2 iterations in the FF series, and how many people refuse to appreciate the fresh creative takes on the classic jobs and their new incarnations in this game for what they are.

The line between tank and DPS is pretty blurry in single-player FFs. Its more like you have physical DDs and magic DDs and some of the physical DDs are a little bulkier and some of the magic DDs have healing magic. I mean tank is a decidedly MMO concept. How are they going to make tanks without pulling from some of the classic DD jobs? The whole thing is just really really petty.
