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

[solracht]

Gladiator is basically just sword, however, which is what I've been going on for a while.

Also, all that's needed to join a guild is to use the appropiate weapon. The Colisseum welcomes fighters who use sword - anyone that uses a sword (this would include paladins, dark knights, warriors, red mages, etc). The Astalacia considers a pirate those that use axes, etc.

I thought it was clear from the pictures, but current classes aren't left behind - they're leveled up along. Jobs take the place of physical levels, and classes keep the place of rank. When you level your red mage, you do so alongside your gladiator (your sword skill), your conjurer (conjury skill) or thaumaturge (thaumaturgy skill) depending on which weapon you're using to level up as your Red Mage.

When you use your red mage, you're using thaumaturge's skills (Slow, Slow II), conjurer's skills (Cure, Fire, etc) and others. These skills and others are boosted and Red Mage itself has a list of passive and active bonuses (as shown by the templates).

I'd like to make clear that I am not pitting this system against yours, just clarifying what was in the picture. Personally I'll be happy as long as they move away from what we currently have, no matter the outcome.
