but as of now there is no trees, everyones classes play almost the exact same. materia's effect is unnoticable without a parser and so many of the classes are stuck in flawed gameplay loops *cough* every single healer *cough*, and some are even approaching this cliff quickly (samurai) , and SE forces a 1 size fits all gameplay style...
TL;DR , no , there is no talent trees....personaly i wouldnt mind if there were.
Other mmos force you to play one job per character. Here you choose your characters direction by playing different jobs. All talent trees will just end up at whatever does the most damage and anything else will get you kicked from parties. Saves the trouble as you can't not have access to the most optimal skills.
