    People are still in the mind set that a job is something other then a directed skill set with in a Class. Funny.

    It's not. It's a replacement to the class system. Just look around. Every GLA will be a PLD now. So why even have a GLA? Answer me that?

    Why is everyone so content to let the new development team destroy the game?

    SE, at least destroy it properly if you're going to destroy it instead of leaving half-completed residual systems from the old development team.

    Food for thought, though I'm sure I won't be changing your mind.
    Lets say Gladiator is my favorite class, because I love DDing and its pretty good at it.
    Oh now I can be a Paladin..But Paladin will most likely get restricted to Tanking..
    Guess I won't switch to Paladin.(..and hope that jobs don't completely make classes obsolete for party play.)

    You will be obsolete because everyone will want DRK for DD.

    This is why they need jobs to be interdisciplinary. In other words, they need to make any job accessible from any class. Otherwise the armory system is a pointless, convoluted intermediate and they might as well just scrap it.

    Guess I will be the only one using Monk, and Dragoon, and Black Mage in my parties.

    I officially put in my vote that all parties should be Paladin, White Mage, Dark Knight x6. Let it be done.

    Everyone can want DRK for DD, but they might not be able to get it:

    And yet some people seem to know everything about the mechanics of the job system that has been just slightly touched upon in conversations. Funny.

    Anyway, to the people who think PUP was a cop out, screeeeew you. (Kidding, sorta). Puppetmaster was my favorite job.

    Anyway, yes. I do believe the Lamia race were indeed necromancers for all intensive purposes. I suppose they might have been hard to add in ffxi, but the skies the limit with 14. I could totally see them maybe adding in(if they do indeed start requiring more than 1 class for certain jobs) THM and perhaps a pet-based job that will come in the future creating Necromancer.

    ...I..really don't care now, I just want Puppetmaster again! /cry

    I have never claimed to know the ins and outs of the system, I just have my expectations of it set firmly on what we know. Based on everything we have heard and have been told about the system expecting any thing other then focused sub sets of skills wrapped up in lore and fancy equipment is, and to be frank about this hilarious.

    Then again seeing people froth at the mouth with interweb rage when reality does not match up to there fantasy world is quite entertaining.

    Should I bold the irony, or...?
