Job Titles Not Class Renaming

[AreeyaJaidee]

Classes are jobs. Different words which describe the same idea. Is that too incomprehensible for some people?

I'd rather see a Black Mage, who casts black magic and not a Smukeltigloopagloppinwimwang who has no defined role.

On the topic of "Openness": the skill sets define the openness not the name of the classes.

I am all for SE swapping the skills around to make the jobs more specific or play more like their original FF series counterparts. We all play FF for our own reasons, but the majority of FF players I know love FF for its staple consistencies.

If you don't like that then go play another game dude.

Square Enix themselves, Both Hiromichi Tanaka (Former Producer) Nobuaki Komoto (Former Director) stated multiple times that Classes are NOT Jobs and that Jobs could be built Out of Classes.

Conjurers are Direct cast magic users while Thaumaturges are Over Time Magic Users.

You can make a Black Mage or White Mage out of either of them.

They just need to define that in game and my system does that.


A Job is a very specific item Almost a Role but not that deep.

A Class is a very generic item that encompasses multiple jobs and multiple roles.

Character > Class > Job > role

Even WoW has the same architecture.

Character > Class > Tree > Role

As much as I agree with you, sadly, Tanaka has no control over the direction of this game anymore. Which is a shame, because all of the games he's designed are fantastic! Even FFXIV during it's initial design and concept was great! It just wasn't finished.

It's funny because Tanaka did FFXI as well, which is what everyone wants this game to be. And yet many blame him for the outcome of this game.

Nobuaki Komoto is still the lead designer though. and If I remember correctly I believe it might have been him that said it in an interview on Eorzeapedia I'm looking into it right now.
