Please do not lock Jobs to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.

No idea if it has been answered or asked in here, but will DoL and DoH get a jobsystem or is it for Dow and DoM only?

They never said.

[Lerris]

Dragoon in III could use daggers and swords.
Cid Highwind was a set character you had no control over his weapons or his job (Which while is described as dragoon by most people is never said in game as such)
And Freya was using a Racial Weapon All the Burmecians used Spears.

And no It doesnt.

Dragoon in FFIII can use Daggers, swords and Spears.
Dragoon in FFIV can use Swords, Axes, and Spears
Dragoon in FFV can use all kinds of weapons
Dragoon in FFT, FFTA, FFTA2, can use all kinds of weapons
Dragoon in FFXI can use all kinds of weapons.

Wrong:

Sorry I mixed them up a bit. I always do that with 5 and 3.

Ideally each class should eventually have 3 roles available: DD, tank and support, whether this is accomplished by mixing-and-matching jobs to classes or by having a unique set of jobs for each class.

I say that it would make sense for certain jobs to have multiple roles available. Dark Knight being tank or DPS, Red Mage being melee DPS or healer, Samurai being tank or DPS, Ninja being ranged DPS or melee DPS, and so on. I don't think it's something that can be done with all jobs. Using the weapon classes for that makes things a bit awkward, IMO.

To try and stave off the coming flood of "So if gladiator becomes paladin, then what will xyz class unlock?" You'll have to stay tuned for more details in the future!

I missed this part earlier.

You're such a tease, Bayohne.

I don't know...

The Jobs are, seemingly, only really meant to expand on or specialize the capabilities of the Class that they work with, so to me, it seems like it would make more sense for each Class to be capable of the different roles by way of different Jobs attached to them.

The downside to that, of course, would be that it would pretty much just be a spec system at that point, with each Class having three available Jobs, each working for a different role. So in the end, what started out looking really flexible, actually leads to very few options.

I say just give all Classes/Jobs abilities that enable them to perform the different roles, and from there just restrict them in such a way as to not allow omnipotence . High price point abilities or 'if you take this, you can't take that' setup's are very minor examples.

Where's my summoner then

[Ookami]

The current thinking is to have one job for one class. So for example, if you are a gladiator, the job you could unlock would be paladin, etc. Right now, we can't give any further details about the possibility of having multiple jobs per class.

For me, i'd like to see job as the following of the existing class with two paths which part of each for specializing : like gladiator give dps job like warrior and a tank job like knight.

An interesting thing could be mixing some classes : example : gladiator 30 + conjurer 30 = paladin.
it could be very fun and motivate people to up some jobs ^^
