Who here thought we would be able to play any Job on any Class?

I thought there was a good chance they would have let us play any Job (Role) on any Class (Weapon-user) we wanted.

This would have fit with the concept of the armory system and would also still have given definition to roles in party-play situations.

Sure it would have made some weird/pointless combinations, but the freedom to be weird and pointless would have been there.

Wasn't one of the problems with FFXI how elitist and formulaic it was? Now we are going back to that?

I thought it would be nice but I never thought that's how they were going to do it.

PS: FFXI was elitist and formulaic because of that -- any weapon/job combo that wasn't 00ber tier 1 was not "fit" for party play.

They never alluded to this at any point in time. If you want universal freedom where everything is the same, play Rift.

You can keep thinking it, though.

At first I thought it was cool.

Until it sucked horrendously.

Now I want the specialized roles back like in FFXI and the rest of the FF series, which is one of the things that makes the FF series stand out. You know, since this is an FF game and all.

[Malakhim]

I definitely did, but I guess more than that I wanted variety. Even if the future only holds maybe up to 3 jobs per class, it'd still be better than a 1 to 1 ratio in my mind, although they did mention that FFT-esque system of leveling multiple classes to gain a new job might be in the works.

Regardless, I've yet to try it so maybe I won't mind as much.

[Seirra_Lanzce]

i never thought it that way ever. so im not surprise on the decision they made.

[Eekiki]

The weapon of choice for Dragoons is a lance or polearm.

In FFXI, Dragoons could also use swords and staves.

That don't make no sense!

I thought it would have been great if any class could pick any job, but i've never thought SE was ever gonna make it that way >.>

[Speeral]

Ive never read anything from the dev team stating or even hinting at us being able to play any job on amy class. From all the letters its always been one job to one class and as the sytem is developed it will be flushed out more.

[AlexNiculaie]

Never thought Jobs would be open to any Class; however, I thought it would be nice if Jobs could apply to more than one Class. Honestly, last we heard it still wasn't set in stone. They've only stated that at start it would be one Job per Class, but they were open to change. Hopefully they will.
