yes but this is final fantasy not if SE really want to piss people who enjoy bard then go for it. This is why we need tanaka or someone else who really know about final fantasy.

Bard as ranger fails and i hope that does not happen even tho i like samurai and not in to bard i just feel that bard should have it's own class. top of that we still missing mrd what do they become?

Knight hmm i though that was for PLD? seeing how knight in japan is PLD in NA at least that what i read in one of the interviews. I was thinking marauder would get something like Warrior or something like that.

@MattyWS yep that what am thinking that would get warrior it be cool to see how jobs are in a party then class i hope there good enough to play as a job that people would play them more then class in a party type event.

I would really get a kick out of the "not fainul fantsy" people getting all butthurt over gaxe drk.

Thats not the problem. Dark Knights have used axes in the past. The problem is they've never been restricted to ONRY AXUSEU!

It really is going to be sad when some jobs that are supposed to technically be masters of more then one weapon can't even do that thing thats part of their Final Fantasy History and lore. (Looking at Fighter/Warrior, Thief, Monk, Dark Knight, Dragoon, Ninja, Knight, Paladin, etc.)


Also Knight is not always "Paladin" Knight in FFT was simply the user who had access to special weapon and armor destroying abilities. They were a more advanced form of Squire. You could turn them into Paladins by equipping white magic as a sub skill.

I don't know about you, but except in FFXII, I always keep my characters using one type of weapon >.>

FF1, 2, 3, 5 and T are among my favorite FF's, In all three you have almost free range to chose what ever weapons you really want to equip except some minor cases.

For instance in FF1, White Mages can equip Staffs, Maces, and Two handed Hammers.

Thats right HAMMERS. Epics right there.

In FF2, Any character can equip ANY WEAPON as long as its in the inventory.

In FF3 some jobs had limitations, but most had atleast 3 weapon style choices each so you were never weaponless should you change jobs.

FF5 was the same.

In FFT, You could equip White Mages with Axes, Dragoons with Swords, Mathematicians with Katanas, etc.

I know, but I always kept my warrior using axes, monk using nunchakus (when available), thief using daggers, and mages using staffs.

Except in FFXII because sometimes a better weapon is available for your characters before you can get the weapon you want (grrrrrr, no katanas for a while).
