What 1.0 and Tanaka did good

[Soukyuu]

I agree on physical levels and cross class skills. The system was unique in this combination because it allowed for more interesting combinations than the job system.

Allowing us to move stat points after a certain timespan gave us the opportunity to actually experiment with our builds.

Once they removed physical levels, the whole stat system died because now you don't think about how you distribute your points beyond being optimal in only one way - your job. Or is there someone putting any stat other than required by the job?

There could have been multiple combinations of classes, and while cookie cutter builds would certainly appear, other builds could still be viable. As it stands now, whether you put your stats "right" or "wrong" doesn't really change anything.

As it is now, the only advantage to armory (= all jobs on one class) over the classic system is not having to switch between characters.
