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

I love this suggestion.

Way I see it would be

Gla: Dark Knight, Paladin, (maybe Thief(Dual Wield daggers))
Pug: Monk DD, Monk Tank (maybe eva tank), Dancer even
Lancer: Tp builder spec with lance, Defence spec with short lance and shield.
Mrd: no idea. maybe viking/warrior. more increase att at loss of def abils
Arc: Sharpshooter (high power single shots), Ranger Varied debuffs and maybe even a companion

Con: Healer, Blm, RDM! (simply allow em to use weapons and en spells!
Thm: Scholar, Death mage

Obviously just some off the cuff ideas but the OP certainly has a point here.

How do you get Samurai from Lancer, thats just odd.

This sounds better, or, Dragoon (obviously) and I dunno Lancer Knight (w/shield)?

Actually, Samurai were adept in the use of the nodachi as well as the spear. You could think of it in this way; the spear is a training weapon for a character until they reach Rank 20 (or whatever). Once they reach that milestone, they can then pick up a nodachi and learn the ways of the sword. Something like that you know? Attach some nice little lore onto that and voila, you have your advanced class of Samurai.

When you talk to the NPC he/she would say something like; "I see you've become pretty good with that spear, but if you want to be even better perhaps you should do my quest and I'll teach you how to use a great katana? Accept my quest?" ^_^
