Anyone else miss the game before jobs?

[Jandor]

The current system just needs to have consistency brought to it, as it is becoming too muddled by all the experimenting and tinkering with it to make it seem more like a FFXI-style Job system.

This is the main thing for me. The lack of consistency is annoying, everything has a special case or exception or something.

Pick a class to start the game. Apart from Rogue, which is a special case.
Level a class to 30 and its secondary to 15 to unlock its job. Except Arcanist which is a special case with 2 jobs.
Jobs level alongside the class. Except the HW jobs which have no class.
Jobs start at 30. With the possible exception of the SB jobs starting at 50.

Just keep it simple. Pick a class (add Rogue to the character menu,) level it to 30, unlocking basic jobs require a specific class, advanced jobs just require the same role. (E: and make Scholar an advanced job.)
