[dev1033] Class name changes -> Specialization/Talent Trees Into Classic FF Classes

[solracht]

The new letter mentioned both the armory system and job system, scrapping the old system seems unlikely.

[Betelgeuzah]

Scrapping anything is a bad move if it can be avoided imo.

It's either jobs on top of classes (specs) or starting as classes and then proceeding to jobs. Latter sounds odd.

[Kurokikaze]

It could also be titles. We don't know because the it such a vague comment. lol

What we do know:

Yoshida-san is between two possible plans at this time. The first idea is that the traditional names would be introduced as “higher” or “advanced” classes. The traditional classes would thus be something of a goal for players. The second idea is that the traditional names would be more of a subset or specialization within the existing classes.

Unless they found an alternate route.

Physical levels changed into... job levels!

Then we'd have Class Levels and Job Levels >_>

[Kurokikaze]

Oh dear god. -_-;;;

Confusion for the sake of confusion.

[Corrderio]

I hope to god when he says "soon enough" in that letter he doesn't mean Valve time "soon enough" or we'll be waiting a LOOOOOOOOOONG time.

[Kurokikaze]

I hope hes aware of the can of worms he just popped open... lol

Something like that was actually what I thought they'd do, forever ago. The picture I made to show the idea should still be floating around.

Considering how much people complain every patch, I think he's well aware.

Seriously tough, SE time or Valve time, which is longer?

[Kurokikaze]

Should add Blizzard time in there too. But their approach is more blatant "It's ready when its ready. Don't bother us."

SE time during XI felt longer imo. lol
