dont really know what to make of this but if it is true i dont know how i feel about it. Part of me can wrap my mind around the idea the other part absolutely hates it. i dunno, what do you all think?

The level cap is not going to stay at level 50 forever you know ... so sooner or later you have to level up your job anyway.

People will whine anyway.

true the more i wrap my mind around it the more it makes sense. It is their way of making jobs specialized without making classes obsolete, i think it may actually work out well.

To be honest this is what I expected on the one hand but I am still wondering how THM and CON are going to be affected by this. Other classes fit into a 1 class 1 job system pretty well but those 2 are not so clear cut.

They said they were rebuilding the classes from the ground up and these 2 I think will be getting the biggest changes. One class will be BLM and the other WHM. Now with the current lore in the game THM would make a more suitable BLM but CON has the elemental nukes and ancient magic. Also THM's AOE is more suited for the role of WHM for casting heals and buffs though the class doesn't really offer them. CON is clearly a mish mash of WHM and BLM but if it is only one job per class then it can't have both meaning one set of it't spells will have to be adjusted.

If THM goes the way of WHM and gains cures and buffs like protect/shell then I wonder if they will remove it's Dark magic to place them on a new class down the line like DRK for example.

Really can't wait to get more info on the class adjustments as that will give us a clearer picture on the way things are heading.

Yes lets get all excited and run amok about reactions to a interview we haven't seen. Totally logical

nobody is getting overly excited i just think its something interesting people might wanna see. and as for conj and thm i kind of hope they each have 2 branches as opposed to one. It would make more sense. Conjurers can choose to specialize in to either black or white magic, and say THM can go in to redmage (A THM that learns how to wield a sword) or a Time mage( alot of the skills are already there)

You will continue leveling your class and along the way unlock new abilities for your `job` which is more a specialization than it is something totally new.

I am not sure how I feel about it, the level cap doesnt really mean much to me cuse then you could just do Gladiator to 75 then unlock Paladin and bam 75 Paladin. Unless you're forced to specialize at 50.

So far I am not impressed at all and very disappointed.

Yeah, cause I'm gonna be pretty sad if I find out that the only battle class I've spent time on (Conjurer) doesn't unlock White Mage. A WHM is all I ever wanted to be. :/

I've realized that this is a potential issue ever since the dev post said that they were thinking one class to one job. So I've put leveling my CON on hiatus until I get some more information.

Does anyone else get the felling this could be the beginning of the end for the weapon=class system they have? I just think they could make you change class by adding a new option to the menu and when you select that class you auto equip all gear/equipment and skills. I know the whole point of the current system is that you are a certain weapon specialist but maybe that might change.

Maybe they will just keep the system as is but give Job's unique weapons of different types. Say for example a RDM that can use a sword, stave or wand/shield combo or a DRK that can wield a G. Sword or Scythe. I just hope we don't get locked to one weapon forever on our jobs and we have a few types to choose from.
