    Multiple jobs is the way to go, no question. It is one of the selling points to the FF series.

    That being said, for personal preference, there are times where I wish FF was a single class system. I am one of those people who really stick to one job, and don't really like to play much else often. In FF where you have the ability to have multiple jobs leveled, people will always gravitate towards class stacking and such, and it tends to force people into roles that they would not want to play. Even if I were to want to play Job X, but a fight was easier to win with Job A B and C, people will expect you to have Job A B or C leveled to do that fight because it is more convenient/efficient. I'm not saying all the time, but the majority of the time that is the case. It's annoying, and maybe ARR will do something to fix that problem, but that really is the main problem with the multiple job system that I can see anyway.

    I'm not sure if being limited to one class would solve that. Probably it would just mean that if you are not the desired job, you get left out completely and just sit in town waiting for something to do.

    It wouldn't solve it completely, you are right, but it there would content creators would probably be way more inclined to create job balance, so jobs would not get excluded, and the general population would probably try out different combinations for the sheer fact that it would be way harder to put together the "ideal" setup. Again, I support having multiple jobs, but it does create a situation where people will be more inclined to go with the ideal route because it is a lot easier to put together the ideal setup when everyone has every job leveled. Not that doing something with the route of least resistance is bad or anything, it's just that if you want to play a particular job, and it doesn't fit in line with that mentality, tough luck. Hopefully I'm explaining myself well enough, lack of sleep, brain dieing~.

    That does raise another point. Being able to switch classes/jobs on the fly only gives them a reason to have class and job imbalance. "Don't like that you cant do this content on your favorite Class or Job? Well switch to another! /trollface". If people would have only 1 job option per character, they would definantly not be able to get away with this.

    I do wish they would like, grow some improved service, integrity, and excellence and just do the right thing with what we have tho....
