[dev1058] how do i know which class to level if i want a job later?

Why are we even assuming certain jobs will only be made available to certain classes. They state "...playing as a particular job will render you unable to equip certain actions of other classes..." which to me implies that all jobs will be available to all classes, and that as such each job will simply offer an additional set of spells/abilities. It makes sense - we're currently able to equip "Cure" on any class, so what would stop any class having access to all jobs?

Actually, to me that part you quoted indicates that there will be a class-lock. Read it again. "Playing as a particular job will render you unable to equip certain actions of other classes" Sounds like you can still equip some (but not all) abilities of classes other than the job's own one. Could be something lost in translation, but the wording in no way indicates to me that you'd be able to use any job on any class.
