[dev1033] Class name changes -> Specialization/Talent Trees Into Classic FF Classes

Would you prefer to be locked into 1 upgrade per base class?

There is no problem at all at having multiple upgrades per basic class. It's one of the strength of this system.

The only issue I have is that following the holy path also improves your dark skills, for example.
Or forget the name of the classes. Imagine that your GLA hits 40. You learn simultaneously a technique that cuts damage in half and another that doubles your damage output. I would like maybe a little more consistency in the path I decide to follow instead of just having more abilities to choose from once I have access to my specialization.

The way that I had envisioned that would NOT happen the way you explained. Your GLA from ranking up would not gain anything that resembles something that is PLD or DRK.

In my example:

- GLA hits 40 (learns something generic like Heavy Stab) <- an example
- You put points you earned from hitting 40 into whatever spec you are. Say you're DRK. "Oh sweet I have enough points for Souleater"

^ something like that.
