Lets have class only abilities and spells

You can still restrict weapons to a job

No, you can't. Because what'll end up happening is people will whine about their job having only one weapon and then we'll have FFXI all over again.

The problem is there is no need to have a subsystem behind a class system, when we get AF weapons Yoshi said you will have to have a class weapon equipped first > equip the soul crystal > equip AF weapon.

How is this different than current AF gear? It works within the systems in place.

Because I don't have to equip a felt robe to equip a healers robe .. hmmm

My point is why do they not make it so that when you try to equip a BLM staff it looks for the blm soul crystal, if it find the player in possession of said item it will automatically equip both.

That being said it doesn't even need to go to this extent, the quest to obtain the BLM staff will require the job anyway so you can't obtain the staff without the job.

Player equips staff .. switch to blm .. simple.

My other point was that if classes were jobs we wouldn't have any of this, because it would use the current system to switch class, THM weapon would becomes BLM weapon.

It's completely bizarre how SE think.

Interestingly if we only have jobs the quests could act as road blocks to the levelling system, similar to Genkai in FF11.
