I would prefer if the armory system (classes) gave us Weapon Skills and abilities and Jobs were not locked to one class and gave us access to magic and increased stats.

The basic information they've given us on the upcoming job system seems inflexible and contrary to what the armory system is (which is the ability to customize classes for your enjoyment). The job system on the other hand is just giving up cross-classing skills to make your current class more effective....which makes me think that they're going to completely override the armory system anyways (since 8 people highly effective at their role > 4 jack-of-all-trades...8-job parties are going to be more popular than 8 persons using the armory system).
