stop copying idea's from ffxi (new jobs)

[Preypacer]

I was disappointed when i heard about the new jobs, it makes me want to label ffxiv to ffxi-2

I'm assuming this will have already been mentioned by now... but the jobs being introduced predate FFXI.

Just like moogles, chocobos and characters named Cid are not "copied from FFXI", neither are the jobs being introduced.

And you'd be absolutely wrong.

Jobs are a staple of the series. In some of the games of the series you couldn't *change* job on your character, but in 90% of Final Fantasy games all characters have one of the classic jobs.

How many FFs have you played? The jobs were recurring in almost every single FF game in some way. Jobs been around since FFI, how is that not a staple? Do you just honestly hate job systems?

Even when a FF game didn't have a job system, they had references to them, e.g someone would clearly be a White Mage or Red Mage given armor design.

You're both confusing job systems with classes/jobs themselves. Three or four Final Fantasy games have had job systems akin to what they're implementing in FFXIV; they've all had class/jobs/roles/whatever you want to call them.

I have nothing against job systems, I just think the extra layer they're adding with this one is completely unnecessary with the system we already had.

I'm not gonna read every post on here and this has probably been said but... XIV's jobs weren't taken straight from FFXI. There are other games in the series.

I wonder if you've never played a Final Fantasy game in your life. o.o Try one... They're quite fun. :x

So wait if multiple FF titles have whm, blm, pld/knight, drg/dragon knight, war/fighter, and bard, and you put those specifics jobs into an FF mmo, its automatically like XI? For all you know drg doesn't have a wyvern (good chance it doesn't have one actually), and pld has no white magic maybe (since pld having white magic in xi was actually a concept more so stolen from EQ if you read into the history of FF and its development). BLM could be a dark mage and not even use elemental nukes. Like seriously just because they use those job names they are copying XI? They are bringing back that FF feeling in whatever way is sufficient and quick and threads like this hinder that.

Seems we never get tired of feeding the trolls.... oh shoot, I need more popcorn!

Jobs are a recurring aspect, but not a staple of the series. Chocobos, the crystal theme music, characters named Cid, and airships are all staples of the series. To my knowledge, the only games where jobs have made an appearance are FF3, FF5, and FF11.

Jobs are in every FF game, in FF1 at the start of the game you chose a job for all caracters out of warrior, monk, white mage, black mage and red mage.

Even the ones where they dont mention jobs, they are there, in FF8 quistis is a blue mage and zell is a monk, in ff10, Kimahri is a blue mage/dragoon, rikku is a thief, yuna is a white mage/summoner, lulu is a black mage etc.

If you look into them all you find there is a job system in all ff games whether you notice it or not.

In ffxi paladin having white magic came from ffiv, where once cecil aquired his paladin he could learn white magic spells

I actually thought it was funny that, in the live interview, someone asked him (Yoshi that is) if he was intentionally making this into ffxi-2. He replyed that they are two totally seperate games. 3 questions later he goes on to state that the new jobs will be whm, blm, paladin, ect. Hell, even the whm gear is identicle to XI.

Hmm, I thought it look like the whm in FF III
