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

[Kurokikaze]

Well since you put it that way I'll just say this;

Think of GLA specced into PLD as the PLD/WAR and GLA specced into DRK as a PLD/NIN in meleeburns (er only stronger). It's sorta the same thing its just that I'm using very cut and dry names for them. You hear a DRK or PLD and you immediately know what they do/roles they fill because you cannot accept/comprehend otherwise. We've been getting fed this for 20 years now and I feel its something they need to go back to for those players that felt they couldn't relate with the current classes and left.

They could use the spec system and use completely different names and it'll be the same thing. But they intend to introduce regular FF classes so I figured why not do it in a way that gives our current progress a purpose. Hey... maybe they could throw people a curveball and DRK isn't even a damage dealer and is actually a sort of blood-tank. They could do whatever they want with these specs but its important to keep that "FF branding" on it.

Maybe you're right and there should be some sort of extra progression but trust me - another grind is not one.
