[Eekiki]

SE, hire Carpe to your design team NOW.

Way better. :3 I'm just going to leave you guys something. I was inspired. xD

I really love that style. <3

[Nuru]

Thanks! !! And yes I find this idea very favorable. Click LIKE on all the first few posts guys! ^^

Carpe, I think you need to add reiku's idea of leveling/stat distribution to OP ^^

I'm probably missing this, but has anyone mentioned the use of Final Fantasy III names for the class "specializations"? For example, a conjurer could specialize as a Devout(FFIII upgraded WHM), a Magus(FFIII upgraded BLM), or a Sage(FFIII upgraded RDM). Gladiator could specialize as a Knight(FFIII PLD) or a Dark Knight(obvious), etc.

While I don't think there'd be specialization "levels"(or maybe there could be...), I just think that the naming scheme itself sounds nice. It's also a nice little ego trip since Tanaka was on lead for FFIII. :P

I always thought adding the names Red Mage, White Mage, and Black Mage just doesn't fit Eorzea(seems kinda plain and out of place). the name Paladin is good either way imo.

...but its final fantasy. Those names go hand in hand with the title. And besides I really think eorzea could benefit from having some plain names thrown in there. Damn near everything is unpronouncable to the average joe.

And I think if we went the specialization route of titles, with master white having the name hanged to devout, or have it just be something you can unlock as an unoffical title, like titles in ff:xi for maxing your specialization

Yea that's true which is why I would never complain about it.

Waiting to see which direction Yoshi-P takes with the jobs is killing me now. I would love some info even if it will take awhile before released.

well OP you hit the nail square on the head imo
i cant think of anythin that would make this hard to implement quickly and easily
although im sure the lack of sleep isnt helping my brain work :P

very neat, very well thought out, awesome (^.^)b

But those names are canon in Final Fantasy, as they originate in FFIII. To say otherwise is incorrect.

Of course I've also been very vocal about going back to those "standard" names like those in FFXI don't fit at all within the Eorzean(and the Hydaelyn) naming scheme.
