When will we get info on class changes?

I'd be interested in seeing Gladiator split based on shield equip. When you're just wielding a sword, you're a gladiator. When you have a shield equipped, sure, you're still a gladiator, but you're also a Sentinel.

It'd be interesting if you equip your job stone with just a sword, you become a Knight with a great sword. If you have a shield equipped, you become a Paladin.

If they ever give archer dagger access, if you equip your job stone with a dagger equipped, you become a Thief. If you have a bow equipped, you become a Bard.

Using your job stone with a two handed THM arm would turn you into a White Mage, but a one handed arm would turn you into a Blue Mage.

Same concept for CNJ. Two handed arm turns you into a Black Mage, one handed turns you into a Red Mage.

Mmm... I'd assume both Blue and Red Mages to be accessed from Gladiator with requirements in other classes. I say this because traditionally Red Mages are warriors that wield swords/daggers and magic and Blue Mages (although seen with many weapons, from guns to whips) are most often seen with swords as well in the series.

For the shield theory, they've already hinted on that. They've said that some gear will have job requirements. This means a shield could require PLD job. This also means a sword could have a Knight requirement and maybe Knight's passive is that they can't wield shields. I highly believe that each job is set as is but the rest of the character can be determined by the gear, not the other way around. Giving Archer dagger access breaks the armoury system as well, as daggers could likely be a Rogue class to lead to the Thief and Ninja jobs. Though daggers are swords currently in this game... which could be proof that Thief, Ninja, Red Mage, Blue Mage, Paladin could all stem from Gladiator with other classes thrown into the mix for each specific one.
