It's like PLD and DRK bith coming from gladiator, sounds good on paper until you fealize that unless DRK is going to also be a tanky class gladiator lends nothing to any other roll than tanking. Boom, brick wall...not only that drk would be limited to single handed swords due to once again the class system being counter productive. This scenario plays out with bard as well making them need to focus on dps as well instead of being able to focus as a full buffer they need to juggle and make archer skills integral to the job.

What happens when or if they introduce a new job like blue mage who uses a whip or some weapon not i the armory system? We need to introduce a class for that job spending twice the ammount of time and effort and also need to make sure the class can balance with all the skills they can grab from others while still making Blue mage not feel like a upgrade from that class and be unique somehow. Forthe most parts jobs act as just a slight more ficused class without the freedom of choice but all the kimitations that came with it.

Classes really need to go or be further seperated from the job system, makenthe jobs wholy unique and not tied down to their origin class with half their skills originating from their class cunterparts.
PROBLEM? classes ain't going anywhere
