A small request

Your argument makes literally no sense.
Summoner and Scholer <--- and this takes the cake.
One is a healer..the other is DPS.

And i'm going to flat out disagree with you on many levels.

Bottom line. - they ARE related...Conjourer and White Mage share the same basic skills/equipment/stats across the board. Up until you get to advanced spells.
Its down right annoying for someone who misses side quests and to go back and finds out they cant do the quest without breaking their arm for a few minutes..assuming they can figure it out that is.
Thanut and Black Mage are the same as well...yes..Black Mage is a more advanced/deeper form of Thaunt..dare i say forbidden arts.

Now a Red Mage? That is entirely different...whole different tree..whole different set. They may have "similar" spells - but they are not the same spells shared with other classes..aside from similar effects.

Lore I can understand. But for the sake of players who are relatively new - trying to figure things out - well lets just say I can understand an Astrologian/Schollar not being able to do the quest - very different abiltiies....but a White Mage? Yeah..no - that's just crazy.

And yes...other things like Lancer vs Dragoon , Pugilist vs Monk - find...they are "different" - yet you can't be a dragoon without starting as a lancer..can't be a monk without starting as pugilist...well gee - I wonder why that is? Maybe its because you start at the basic form...and then go to an advanced level?

And how often do you encounter a level 70 lancer/pugilist? I mean seriously...who does that? And not survive criticism on many levels? I'm sure they are out at there..but seriously gimped.....at best.
