Worried for SCH

[GrimGale]

Looking like there could be a possible Smn overhaul in works, something about lack of egi glams haulted for some major Smn changes. That being said, its possible Sch could follow suit, maybe an improved pet system or doing away with pets altogether? Either way it at least seems like something is being done.

I assume this will be the famed split between ACN/SMN and SCH YoshiP wanted to implement.

honestly long overdue. I know it's nice to level a 2 in 1 job, but if somehow behind the scenes one holds back the other...

I wonder how they would do in practice, though... ACN will become SCH and they'll have the SMN as an independent entry at lv30 (like MCH, DRK and AST)?

Or they'll create a brand new Class for one or the other? Honestly, I feel that they would have to retcon some stuff in the job questlines as well... But then, given the current state of the actions across different jobs, a lot of them really need some retcons at this point.

Half of the AST abilities nowadays make no sense from what lore you learn with AST's job quests... and probably will do even less sense with EW's changes. I kinda wonder if that's the reason why the most recent jobs' quests mention nothing about skills themselves, so they would avoid their lore to clash with future redesigns.

ACN/SMN have tied weapons while SCH have their own books. Arcanist shows Summoner gear when picking it for your starter class. I guess the most natural outcome would be to keep Arcanist tied to Summoner and have Scholar as an unlockable at level 30.

As for future Job quests, it seems they have abandoned them altogether. I wonder what will hapen with the new jobs? If they start at level 70, they would have no job quests in the current system. (Crystarium role story lines)

Oh my b, you're right about the SCH>SMN thing, I completely forgot as I went through that in the paleolithic.

The quests, I actually meant past ones, but for the new jobs, like you mention... Yeah, what I can see see is probably an introductory quest chain, but I wonder how they'll insert job lore for them.

I thought the reason no one had job quests anymore was due to creative burnout on furthering everyone's reasons for learning their new skills from 72-80 and just had the role quests as a "New World" replacement so everyone had something at minimum of a lore case that also served a point to push a side narrative as well?
