Arcanist and Summoner artwork

[Renala]

So you want that everybody who haven't choosed the arcanist in the char creation menu should do first a quest to get the permission to use a book (like in FF XII)? Everyone who have choosed Arcanist during char creation would have the permission from the start.
But don't do it only for Arcanist, but for every class. You begin as THM and then you need to get a permission (buy it or quest it) to use another weapon type. Each weapon type get a own permission key item.

The first seven - the old seven - are normal jobs. They're common and not special in there own right. The new two can be closed door guilds - as they have been - and therefor you need to get accepted in. (Therefor getting your first book to level.) Thats what I want. The quest to get your first book doesn't even need to be extravagant. Just something.

I don't want people to first buy the game, then see the two new classes and select them at the same time the mass media of old 50's do. New players - not to be mean to them - should have to use the old ones to be able to play jobs we already know everything about. Set X skills, level X subs to level, these are the stat forumla's, ext.

Also, think about it in FFXI terms. Would you like to see someone start a character and BAM I'm a summoner! Oh hey they gave me every summon too! Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Or, like samurai. They made your level 1 weapon integrated into the quest. Now I'm not saying I want something as complex, but similar. You need to earn your first weapon. But buy it for 840 gil like all the others.

No.
