1.22a Patch Notes

[Isaveron]

I'm seeing a lot of hatred for the inclusion of class specific gear, especially since the community has done nothing but whine whenever someone brings up the suggestion of abolishing classes so Square Enix can focus on balancing Jobs better. So you want classes to remain, despite the fact they aren't Final Fantasy enough for you (leading to the creation of the Job system) nor do you want them to have armor tailored for them like Jobs have JSE. It seems like complaining just for the sake of complaining.

I think SE just needs to explain their thoughts behind classes at this point. Even in light parties jobs tend to be better than classes. Heck, even some jobs solo as well as their classes.

I think people are just confused about the role of classes in this game and why they need things like specific gear.
