    We should be able to swap jobs within the same category in first minute of instance

    Sometimes I queue as sage and then in trial the other guy is also sage. In this case I might want to swap to astro to avoid shields overwriting each other and optimize healing.

    I think the game should only lock you into the job category not the specific job you queued as. Tank, healer, melee physical dps, ranged physical dps, magic dps

    I think having the option to swap jobs in the same category throughout the whole instance would be cool.

    It would certainly be interesting if I could swap between MCH/DNC/BRD while going through a dungeon/alliance raid, and I say that as someone who doesn't normally play DNC & BRD.

    would love that.

    a game where you can play all jobs on one character should use the possibilities of that aspect way more than ff14 currently is!

    without fun jobs none of the content is fun!
    jobs should have their full rotations on lvl 60 or 70! for a better low lvl experience.
    for satisfying glam builduing we need 5 basic glamplates + 2 more for each class / job
    pls give us a proper glam collection like every other mmo has.
    pls upgrade the gear from normal raid and also alliance-raid by 10 ilvl each.
    pls add old glowy ex trial weapons for new jobs!
    and for gods sake pls give as the ability to preview any hairstyle on our own character!

    Agreed. It is possible in some other MMORPGs (usually by changing spec). It is even possible in Variant dungeons I think? It would instantly solve problems with "the healer left" or "the tank left" or "that player isn't doing the job well enough".

    At the very least, being able to switch to jobs within the same role would help, then you could switch to RDM and be a rezzer/healer if one left for example.

    YES YES YES, I fully agree

    Heck, if they aren't going to give us full max-level rotation for Alliance Roulette, then this would be the next best thing. CT would be a heck of a lot more bearable (and I'd be significantly less inclined to drop out) if I could queue as BLM but swap out to literally anything else if a CT instance popped up.

    Wish they would do something about the lost rotation on level downsync. It's so counter productive to building muscle memory when you have to play a different way in each dungeon. It's also boring af in the very low level dungeons since you only have like 2 buttons to use most of the time. I want my full rotation with downscaled potency.

    It would certainly be helpful in situations where there are duplicated jobs and such.

    Though here are few things come to mind that might make this harder to implement than imagine:

    ・Gearing: Many duties have item level requirements, and if they let you switch between jobs within the same role/category, it needs to be able to keep track of the information for other jobs that can be switched to, otherwise we might end up not clearing duties due to someone switching to a job forgetting the weapon item level is unsuitable (let say it is accidentally since intentional would be reportable).

    ・EXP: From what we can observe from Frontline, the EXP reward would most likely be going into the job that players queued with, which lead to players having easy access to levelling a job without actually playing the job, although it is already possible with Frontline right now, it would be much quicker for players to level in such way if it applies to all the other duties (not necessarily be a bad thing but might not be what SE wants).

    ・Glamour: A sillier one but if you have jobs that share gear but are linked to different glamour plates, switching between them in a duty instance would obviously break the portrait, at least the glam breaking on the character itself is sloved by the restriction lift in 7.4.

    このままではまるでエナジードレイン用のフロー補充じゃないですか!
    Please change the "increases healing magic potency by 20%" of Dissipation into "increases HP recovery via healing actions by 20%"!
    As is, doesn't it look like it's just replenishing flows for Energy Drain!?

    It would sure be handy to have when healer or tank dies.

    For Roulettes, it would definitely be helpful to be able to change Jobs at the start within your role (Tank, Healer, Melee, Caster or Ranged), if you have the ilvl requirements on the Job you want to swap to. Being able to swap until someone enters combat for the first time would be reasonable to me.

    It'd mostly be useful on Healers since SCH and SGE don't really work well with each other or with duplicates because you can't stack Adloquim or Eukrasia.
