Thief, Musketeer, Dark Knight, and Arcanist

[Velhart]

Just want to say NO to being able to either Paladin or Dark Knight.... Cecil in Dissidia can do both!! I want both!!! orz

This. This would take away the purpose of the Job system. There is no way they could believe sticking to one or the other would be a good idea. There must be a mistranslation or a misunderstanding in there somewhere.

For THF deriving from ARC. They said in previous interviews that they wanted to make a scouting class. I don't know what made them change their minds and start thinking about putting them in ARC. They might need to explain why this is a good idea.

Musketeer is dual guns is massive /drool. As long as bullets are not bad to obtain regularly, then I will definitely consider playing this as a DPS role.

Missed that part, definite NO on having one job locked out once you pick another, even if it was just for DRK and PLD. In any other game sure, but with how XIV is set up that would be a very, very poor choice.

didnt they say archanist sets devices that cause certain effects to the area? maybe thats what they meant by pet class

Hmm... I am pretty sure I am against locking out of any jobs. While this game is quite different than it was at release I still think that a core part of it is the armory system and having the freedom to switch to any class/job at will.

If they do make it so you can't be Paladin ever again if you go Dark Knight then I might switch my position on the extra character fees...

However, the part of me who thinks that choices should matter does in part like this idea. I would like it better if it wasn't 100% permanent but perhaps a long hard quest line to gain back the ability to be Paladin.

In my opinion restricting jobs isn't a good fit for this game.

For the technical pet class part it's direct translation from that 2ch posters post so I don't know what to say I don't have the magazine to translate what exactly is said in there.

「シーフは弓術士からの派生が自然と考えている」
「暗黒騎士は剣術士からの派生、ナイトを極めたあとにクエストで取得。
一度暗黒騎士になるとナイトには戻れないのもいいかも」
Thinking of Thief coming from archer class.
For dark knight coming from Gladiator class, have to complete Paladin to obtain the quest, maybe it's good where once you become dark knight you can't go back to Paladin.

Branching a job that can not be reversed. I feel that this goes against everything FFXIV stands for in terms of 1 Character = 1 Class. Not that the idea is bad, wait no I still think its bad. Reminiscent of MMOs with Tree structure requiring multiple characters.

That is my interpretation.

I'd rather they took their time with it and got it right.

Yea I think before they make new jobs that more classes are needed. With more classes it gives you a broader base for a more complex job tree. I would even like to see another level added on, like advanced jobs. Blm becomes Sage, Whm becomes oracle, etc etc. There should also be multiple routes to achieve which jobs you want to unlock. So people don't have to level gladiator(tank class) just so they can be a dark knight(DD class) let me get Dark Knight from marauder instead and make me level up some extra stuff like blm to get there. Make an easy road and a hard road, but give me a choice. I might prefer the hard road if I can avoid doing something I don't want to do (like playing a tank class).

I keep refering to FF tactic job tree, because they really did it quite well, I'd like to see it translated into this game.

Please take your time SE. I would much rather see more classes before I see more jobs. I know it would be faster to just put some extra skills on an archer, give them a dagger and call it a thf, but this is the same kind of rushed developement ideas that made FFXIV suck in the beginning. Good things come to those who wait.

From rereading the translation. Nothing seems final as of yet. Just ideas thrown in the air and possible testing. Not sure if any of this is in development yet, but I'm sure once enough feedback is had adjustments will be made accordingly.

I'm sure PLD and DRK will not lock the other out. I'm positive this is just an unfortunate translation. Likely the story lines will have conflicts between PLD and DRK maybe this is what they're referring to.
