I know it's a rather...cheesy argument, but it is sort of a hallowed ground thing. The job gear is meant to invoke iconic images of FF's famous .

When I said what I said I didn't mean it to disrespect anyone , like I mention earlier in the thread I played 7 through 10 I don't recall such a system as the one currently that's in this one for jobs. I had stepped away from ff not on purpose just really wasn't playing any games at all, but coming to this one after playing other mmos I had never played such a job system as the one in this game.

So as mention before with the lack of explanation of how my character is diverse in all aspects of combat and what it all really means and no lore touching on this at all other than warrior of light how am I to take all lore seriously when this is overlooked from the very start of the game. I cant help bu see all the jobs as one , because while they have different forms of combat I am still doing them all on one character. If there is no lore explaining this at all in this game then how am I suppose to then , hold dear to some gear that I got on one of my job quest.

To me personally the fact that their is no reference , zero connection, and its always over looked by basically everyone then I don't see the meaning in why job specific gear is so important when no explanation for how you can do all such jobs is even given in the game anywhere. There are many many times where lore is given a back seat in the game, so if the big things are over looked and looked over with a blind eye then how can I not have a blind eye to significance of certain gear pieces. If lore is that important then it must be detailed in all the parts that matter and this game failed on explaining the job system so therefore its just impossible to see the importance of gear when we have a job system that isnt explained or tied together properly at all.

I will give you that this game does not take time to explain the job system that well, it very much relies on if you've played a FF game that had the traditional job system. But the issue here is two sets of mechanics and lore clashing against each other. The job system was built in a way that you have a character specialize in some stuff and you can totally have some jobs borrow skills from other jobs, such as if you have a Knight who was once a Black Mage, that Knight can use some Black Mage spells but not any of the BIG spells.

The issue is, this system was not built back then to factor in something like the Glam system. Cause why would they? What purpose in say FFV is there for the Knight to make himself look like a Black Mage? It just creates confusion. There is also the fact that it would strip away the visual identity of some jobs and make them feel more generic (WAR's job gear really does give it it's identity, even if the armors they choose don't really scream Warrior in a traditional sense.) That's another mess by the way, the confusion allowing job gear to be glamoured would create, is just too spooky to think about. Trolls would have a HAYDAY with that kind of freedom.
