Given how light and short should a lance be to be used effectively with one hand, you'd end up using basically a pointy sword.
Hey look, you're a paladin now!

And ninjas!! ....... >.>

They designed themselves in a corner with the armoury

/sadface commiseration, I was hoping they redesigned this section further at ARR.

Who knows maybe they have..

Hey, Lady, see what I meant with "sterile discussions with both parts unwilling to listen?"

considering you tore down my post without even fully understanding.. I didn't bother entertaining your rant.

This. There's damn near 30+ jobs FF has to offer and variants on each other, it doesn't need to branch, they simply just need to add more.

They designed themselves in a corner with the armoury system however.

what's wrong with the armory system?

Truth to be told, Lady, Jobs are already the branching of Classes. Gotta keep in mind that in the future there will be more than one job per class, and then it will look more like they are what they really are

I was wondering about that, and still not 100 percent sure how Yoshi will be implementing more jobs. Because let's say they implement a thief job, and if a thief will come from an existing class like PUG or something, by than everyone's PUG would be 50, there for once you unlock your thief job and do the 5 quests to get your new thief abilities, than your thief would now be 50 as your PUG is already 50.

I always assumed they would always add new classes for each job, like maybe a Rogue class that turns to a thief at 30.

Like some of you already said: We have branches to classes and they're called jobs. In future we will hopefully get more jobs per class. That's how it works in FFXIV and it is good that way. And the way how classes and jobs are levelled are fine too.

Costumizing classes and jobs and adding more jobs per class is the way to go. Especially make the difference between classes and jobs more noticable (and classes more useful).

Never thought about that, but now that you force me to think about it... you're absolutely right.

that was already the case when they added jobs. lv50 lancers got lv 50 DRG. It's only those 5 skills that make the difference anyways. And there wasn't much point in using DRG until lv 40-45 anyways; with more ability slots, and once you could use some DRG skills.

Ya they'd need to add new classes for some Jobs i guess. Making Thief from PUG doesn't make much sense.
