Jobs and Classes: Ratios.

speaking of obvious assumptions, how 'bout that rebirth? or raise 2? or paralyna/silena? or, you know... CURE/CURAGA? truly wild how conjurer has those and not thm, right? WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING??!

what is wrong with you people? -_-

Speaking of obvious assumptions, ever notice how Thaumaturge had more healing and raise spells than nukes? Ever notice how Conjurer had twice the black mage spells than white mage spells? WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING??!

What is wrong with you people? -_-

as far as i know, not confirmed but that was strongly hinted at

My mistake, I meant an interview, not the live letter.
There is an interview where he explains the 3 examples of having "pets" and how the system works.
He also explains the Beast Tamer is the class, and SMN is the job.

Class + job identity can I have it. The mixing and matching already was proven to be a massive failure. Test over proceed with the fixing please.

There a fixed that for you. I for one, disagree with you.

"i am going to ignore obvious indicators to the contrary of my preferred assumption because it undermines my position, and try to make the argument quantitative rather than qualitative/specific"

keep flailing about to justify your completely off-kilter assumptions. keep refusing to acknowledge clear evidence opposed to your position/agenda because it's merely 'inconvenient' and couldn't possibly hold any weight. anything to feel justified, correct, and entitled- anything to preserve your misguided sense of outrage.

and don't try to play the deflect/project/shed the spotlight game. i have no stake in this. i have both at 50 and look forward to trying both jobs. i just find *your* delusion (and that of those taking a similar position) both humorous and... mindblowing.

blackmage with raise 2 and rebirth... lollllllllllllll

i know the interview you are talking about. he says the class beastmaster controls a mob for a short time, then it leaves and you have to get another mob to control, and he says the job summoner would summon a spirit which would follow it around. he tells us how the class beastmaster will work, and how the job summoner will work, (he also tells us how the chocobo buddy system will work) although we he says summoner is a job, he never says it is beastmasters job

he never says the 2 are related, he talks about 3 thing what they all have in common is the pet theme

although i think it probally will be, but i'm not assuming anything coz you just never know

First, sorry for the necrobump but when something is said in a definitive way I can't rest until I address it.

Second, they could be related:

Gamer Escape: There was a tame ability mentioned as well, so does that mean Beastmaster as well?

Yoshida: Yes. The foundation or system for using pets in battle is currently being made. So yes in the future there will be a beast tamer type of class. Again, it’s all about that adding one class means adding more jobs and all these extra things. So all these jobs won’t come at the same time. It’s all about the priorities, but it is on the list and we are making preparations for it.
Like one idea could be for example maybe having a beast tamer class and that job would be like a summoner type of job.

I was hoping Paladin would include some CNJ or THM to level up.

that told me . can't argue with that

(i did think summoner would be beastmasters job, i just didn't think it had been confirmed)

Well, still not confirmed but that's one of their plans. I personally think it would be best to do it with 2 different classes (tamer > beastmaster & evoker > summoner) but certainly see the difficulty in doing that. Always best to go the simpler way when it comes to coding and balancing haha.
