New Job System Incoming!!! - But what does this mean??

[solracht]

Dragoon are not Weapon Specialized to Polearms. Yes that is their favored weapon but they can use a wide variety of weapons as seen in games like Tactics and XI.

Notice I never said polearms only, rather I mentioned the "silly" ones. I'm well aware of all of the weapons they could use.

Either way, the Crown+Talent system still works even if the weapon freedom went over my head. The job talent trees would not be about a weapon, but rather about role. If your Paladin wanted to use 2 swords, axe, lance.... bow or hand to hand, odds are he'd want to spec into the Offensive tree. If he wanted to tank (any one-handed+shield), he'd want to spec into the Defensive tree.

He could still use any weapon, but the trees would define how the job interacts with them even more, beyond what the job itself already did.
