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

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

You'd have to largely change the storyline to involve GLD, that at the moment have absolutely *nothing* to do with BLM, story-wise.

Yoshida is looking to all games for improvements. I can mention pac man I 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.

Too bad that nothing of the current system says that they HAVE to have new jobs attached to a class. There's no ghetto rigging to be done. Also, new jobs can alternatively simply be attached to older classes, adding further flexibility to the system.

As a matter of fact, I believe Yoshida already said that they're going one of those two ways.

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

And you would lose the balancing factor that you can either be specialized or flexible, depending on you equipping class or job.

Opinion. I disagree with.

Again, try asking someone if you can tank Garuda as a gladiator or a marauder. Lemme know how it works for you.
