Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

[Kraggy]

In before someone complains about level 15 sub class requirement.

You can get to 15 in a day!

Just because it may be easy, it doesn't mean it's not damned annoying.

Just WTF is the use of leveling Lancer for someone who wants to play a Monk? There seems to be zero sense if some of those combinations, simply two unrelated classes thrown together as a typical SE speed-bump.

Because. That's why.
No joke.
SE made it that way, regardless of you needing it to make sense.

b/c its an sub req <.< if your pgl is 50 anyways you should lnc to 25 for invig anyway.

I was able to sneak a peek at the documents regarding the upcoming job system announcement coming next week and I smuggled out a lil' morsel that you might be interested in. I figure, if you all knew what classes were required for each job, you could set a goal to raise them up over the weekend (if you're like Camate who was all "omg Bayohne, help me level up my lancer tomorrow!"...).

Take a gander at the requirements to begin the quests to unlock the jobs... (don't tell Yoshi-P I showed you!)

You'e the best.

I expected something like this for the mages requirement:

Job Name Requirements
White Mage Conjurer lvl 30+, Thaumaturge lvl 15+
Black Mage Thaumaturge lvl 30+, Conjurer lvl 15+

Why should a BLM need to be a pugilist??? Those requirements seems totally random.

[Rowyne]

Crap... Looks like I finally need to equip a sword to unlock white mage.

Exactly what I was thinking. Gladiator? I have to get some tanking experience under my belt to unlock the healing job? Weird. Why wouldn't they encourage you to cross-class casters?

Can't wait to see what lore reasons are in the WHM quest (if any) for that one. >.>

This would make much more sense:
30 CNJ + 15 THM = WHM
30 THM + 15 CNJ = BLM

Edit: Alkel beat me to it!

Have you guys thought that maybe the sub class works similar to ffxi in that the job gets to use the cross class abilities from the sub class required to unlock? The only mention about cross class abilities in relation to jobs is that they would be limited, not completely restricted.

I guess it's related to stats; INT affects both Attack Magic Potency (BLM) and Damage dealt by pugilist arms.

That's how it works. Yoshi stated in an earlier interview the job gets it's main class abilities, and it's sub class abilities up to 15. So don't knock Mnk/Lnc, we get Blood for Blood AND Invigorate

[Colino]

All of these complaints would be perfectly valid if it didn't take less than an hour to get to 15 anyway.

Seriously go do some leves and you'll be passed 15 before you even remember why you're levelling that class in the first place... However I do agree some of these requirements are bollocks. I mean, for BLM you need THM and... PUG? So you need to punch shit in the face to become a better mage? How does that make any sense?
