    I could have sworn they actually mentioned ( and I think teased) this in one of the live letters... Could be wrong though

    There's no solo content (and never will be at this rate), that's why we don't have class AF, there's no reason to use classes after lvl30.

    Yeah, honestly the idea that you'd ever switch back to your class after level 30 is kinda silly when you consider the fact that even if you are missing some kind of "diversity" ability (Which almost always means self-healing because you're soloing), you can actually gain that by calling your Companion Chocobo.

    Almost all the customization in this game is illusionary and only there to make you think your choices affect your character. If I swapped back to Archer from by Bard I'd have 0 new DPS abilities. I could set maybe a couple defensive moves and if I tried to set Cure I'd never use it because it heals for something like 60 HP.

    It's crazy to put your 30 stat points into anything other than your primary stat. A BRD that specs all Piety for instance, will be laughed out of a room. It's been found that STR scales very, very poorly defensively (Something along the lines of 30 STR for +1% parry reduction) so that MRD/WARs picking STR over VIT will only be better for speed runs because of more damage, etc.

    Still, I wouldn't say that the OP's suggestion is a bad one, because they could fix these problems pretty easily with a bit of work. If you made it so that, say, Archer has higher MND than Bard and gave it AF that increases both DEX and MND, it would actually make some sort of sense to be self-curing with magic.

    honestly I dont believe Yoshi-P has lied to us, he has tried to keep each of his promises the best he could and still plans to deliver each of the things he talked about in his letters so no your assumption is just arrogant. especially since the ARR is not even 3 months out of official release. and even during his time in 1.0 before the shut down he was pretty open with us with what they intended to do. so your assumption that they wont make the classes up to par with the jobs is full of holes.

    this is part of what I mean. them making it so the classes are still a viable option past 30 if you want to solo should be there. . there should be some way to make up for the things the soul crystals give the jobs even if its a quest you have to do for it


    as for SMN pets being better than ACN pets, they have more abilities but other than that Garuda-Egi isnt that much better than Emerald Carbuncle and Titan-Egi isnt that much better than Topaz.

    I'm not suggesting they just give us things to make the classes more viable. I'm quite okay with quests that do this so that it is still something you EARN
