I don't see why people have this huge problem with 2 class = 1 job system. It's basically how FFT/A/A2 worked. You gained abilities in multiple jobs to unlock the advanced jobs. The system has been used before, it works and it's actually pretty great. If anything it enforces the spirit of the armoury system. You're supposed to level multiple classes, not just one.

I agree, I'm not seeing the problem with it. If anything, it gives you more things to do.

Wasn't that what everyone was wanting in the first place?

I think they are having some troubles with investors abit reason patches are moving slowly and other games are being made that may bring a profit. I think sony lost something like 8 billion this year. Which is alot... so idk. But in any case i like this game and hope something happens.

That was made in Japan, but just geared for the US, with the idea that Westerners weren't good enough for hardcore console RPGs. Which is ironic since Wizardry came from here and the Japanese luuuuuurv Wizardry.

I think you're thinking of Secret of Evermore.

There are other exceptions but for the most part you're right. I used to know a number of people in Konami's US operations, and they were generally treated like the redheaded stepchildren.

Agree here. Evermore was Squaresoft US' baby. It is also seen as one of the most underrated games of all time, but there you have it.

Glad to hear a bit more about the planned changes. Sadly of course timelines are absent. I am hoping for a mid July release to kick things off but who knows. I do hope we get more info everyday till the patch comes outs.

Thank you, Kristina! Very much appreciate the translation
