Idea: Class split idea for all jobs

[Shurrikhan]

Ninja is calling. Also what would be the point in starting off at 1 every single time? I was bummed that SAM and RDM were released at 50 but I can't say that I would ever want to start off at 1. There is nothing more boring then spamming 1 ability for awhile.

A class doesn't have to start at level 1 any more than a job does. It's a moot point. The only rule that must firmly hold is that they are are something more primary than a job. They can start at whatever level. They do not need to share experience between various classes. They can double as a job after the split point. Anything goes. Except that they must be more primary.

This is where Job Crystals can come in.

Job crystals don't disambiguate near-identical weapons. And the lack of a class, and therefore the ability for any branched jobs, means that only one user can exist.

"Jobs Only" means that once someone has the greatsword, they alone have the greatsword. If there is a Dark Knight, there can be no Sword Saint or Mystic Knight. If there's a Samurai, there can be no Shogun. If there's a Machinist using a pistol, there can be no Corsair or Gunner. If there's a Bard, there can be no Ranger. If there's a WHM, there can be no Sage. Even if the jobs may be almost entirely distinct in all ways but their weapon choice.
