Except that's wrong. FFXIV never had a sub-job system. It had a cross-class system. If they sound different, it's better to assume they ARE different than to assume that the original poster doesn't know what they are talking about.

That being said, the original poster could have written it more clearly, yes.


Still, the suggestion is unrealistic. It would require completely redoing the entire game...and that's just not feasible. It's not a matter of shaking things up. It's a matter of completely ditching everything in the game sans the story and making it from scratch. Sorry, but that's just not something you do with a working, money-bringing game. Or any game for that matter.

If they will make a new MMO game...yes. I'd like a Tactics-like job system in it. In this one?! Yeah...no. This just ain't suited. And worse yet, it absolutely could not work with the FFXIV teams mentality. They would make it an unplayable abomination even if they DID try. They just absolutely suck at making anything more complicated than 2+2=4. If you need proof of that, just look at what a failure is the Arcanist/Scholar/Summoner triangle. All because they didn't have the foresight to realize that a healer out of a DPS job will be a balancing nightmare in a trinity game like this.
