I think 7.0 should focus on reworking old job designs instead of adding new jobs

[ZeraSkiratea]

Now would be a good time to ditch the ARR class->job system entirely. Add the old 1-30 class quests as optional quest lines so we don't lose them entirely, but ditch the 1-30 class system. They've entirely ditched it as a concept in HW and beyond, and it has held them back in some design cases so just clean it up and make the entire job system uniform across all jobs.

they "ditched" it because you cant very well have a endwalker class start at LVL1 without some VERY jarring problems(like how current RDM gets dual cast trait at LVL 1, but his first spell is learned at level 2. which makes the first enemy in POTD always interesting to fight because i always forget it and try to cast jolt when i have to use my melee attack)


The Class=>job System dosnt really hold ANYTHING back given of how it works with the potential exception of scholar/summoner as that one is just an odd case.
Please tell me where the Class system held them back?


1-30 are meant to introduce the very most basic of basics, Dragoon/lancer learns 8 skills, 7 of which are iirc straight up DMG skills, one is a HP regen on attacks.
WHM/CNJ learns 7 skills up to 30, one is just an upgrade to stone so 6 unique skills, 4 of them are specific healing/raising skills


The ONLY weird thing about the class/job system is that iirc all ARR classes gain a skill at least at lvl50.. whitemage iirc even at 46(via trait dont remember if the trait is WHM speciifc, the Skill is listed under class tho)(not talking about role Abilitys btw but straight up class abilitys)


EDIT:
There is also the situation that in lore non of the new jobs technicaly have a "base class"
EXAMPLES:

a whm must have been a conjurer to evne be able to wield white magic in a fashion required for a whitemage
a BLM must have been a thaumaturge (or at least similiar) to have the affinity to wield black magic.


a MCN gets a gun and a generator and shoots things(oversimplified obviously) there is no prerequisite then the ability to manipulate aether(which most people can do to some capacity)
