We then asked Yoshida whether other classes will have access to multiple jobs, much as Arcanists can dabble in Summoner skills. He said that we'll probably see more of that in the future. There will likely be existing classes made able to branch off into other jobs, and he does consider it highly important to have variety and lots of flexibility in the game's class system. Also under consideration is the possibility of combining two jobs to form a third, such as White and Black Mages combining to form a Red Mage.

He also laughed and mentioned that there's a "high possibility" of new jobs debuting prior to future expansions.

I'm actually curious how they will handle the leveling of a class/Job that requires the unlock and level required (most likely you'll need to be lvl 50 on class and complete the last Job quest) of 2 Jobs.

If Red Mage requires Black Mage and White Mage will it have a separate level system like a Rank level system being a Level system separate from basic class levels.

Example: basic Level is set on class.

When leveling Rank system you will be given exp for Rank and Class Exp. However, Rank and Class level are separate so if Red Mage requires Black Mage and White Mage then Red Mage will be set at lvl 50 for class level but Rank lvl will be level 1 because you only gain Red Mage Skills through leveling Rank instead of Class level (which class and 1st Jobs focus on for unlocking their skills)

I want that new Allegan Tanking set -drools-

Dark Knight can't be a tank, he would be too similar to Warrior. I hope that Dark Knight is the other Marauder job, and that it's a DPS Job.

actually DarkKnight=Gladiator+Black mage

Considering SE works at less than a snail's pace (with everything, not just mmos), I wouldn't hold your breath on new classes or jobs anytime soon.

Check back in a few years, see if we get lucky.
