Current Class/Job System Curiosities

[Nalien]

In my opinion, secondary Jobs should come alongside a Merit type system. That would mean that, even if you have Warrior at 50, for example, if they release Dark Knight off Marauder you would still have leveling to do on the Job.

They could make it "fix" Bard, as well. Let it alter existing Class Skills, lets say Merits on Bard allow you to change Bloodletter so it restores MP, or change Raging Strikes to a Song that increases party members Attack. Meanwhile Ranger, coming off Archer as well, could have Merits that change Swiftsong into something which combos off Heavy Shot. Scholar could turn Virus into a buff which eats an enfeebling spell before it lands. Lots they could do with such a system.

While people might hate this, I think it should also go alongside having to pick attributes; so you can give Bard more Songs, but then Ranger misses out on such Merits. I enjoy Scholar and Summoner, so I'd definitely hate it, but it's better than them half-assing the concept of branching Jobs. Would be nice for individuals to be different rather than every Job being exactly the same.
