remember, that alot of people played war, thf, mnk in ff:xi rather than go advanced job.
No that wont be possible. The devs are planning to make the base class more or less irrelevant. It's just a starting point to a classic FF class. Future content is balanced under the assumption that everyone is playing an advanced class.

Also, in the OP I said that calling FFXI's PLD/DRK/NIN/SAM/etc an "Advanced Job" was incorrect. They are not advanced; they are just an extra job that needed to be unlocked. If FFXI's initial jobs were the base and they had Advanced jobs then the Warrior would have turned into a Knight; think FFI.
