Why not abolish the Class system entirely in favor of Jobs? [@ Devs]

It matters when the stoyline states clearly that you're just being given a new title and you're discovering some new powers.

Yep and you can do that in a FFT system too. OooOooh THM and GLD make BLM now go have fun. :/

Can even auto level your BLM to the level 35 point and then make you level it separately then THM as if it is a forking path.

This is not FFXI, as much as some seem obsessed with it. And suggesting slowing down ARR's release in the current conditions is nothing short of nonsensical, to be completely honest, especially over a technicality.

Yoshida is looking to all games for improvements. I can mention pac man if want, not that I need Yoshida's permission to mention another game. Technicalities can become destruction over long periods of time as a small chip turns into a crack. That I can see the future.. no.. but I dont see it being helpful when Yoshida wants to create unique and completely separate job classes like a blue mage and not have to "ghetto rig" the system just to make it work.

Nope. The flexibility is given by the fact that classes are flexible. Jobs are specialized. The balance is in the factor that you can have one or the other, but not both at the same time.

Classes are flexible, agreed. And in the suggested system it would remain so.

And they are.

Opinion. I disagree with.
