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

[Betelgeuzah]

As I keep saying, thats a story issue. How they sell this to players is whats going to either fall in line what they know of classic FF classes or what SE tells them.

But how do you assume that the lore SE feeds these people is going to overcome the stigma they have from these classes as-is? It's like SE has to change these people's views of the classes from before so that their mindset fits this game. That sounds like an impossible task, since the current mindset has been built over 20 or so years.

I don't really have a problem with DRK and PLD making it to the game.. or that GLA is suddenly inferior. But if SE tries to sell the classes as something they aren't according to everyone else's world views, they're not most likely going to succeed.

In the end it'll just feel weird to level both DRK and PLD at the same time, regardless of what the lore says. Especially when a strong "good vs. bad" stigma is attached to them, even if this game doesn't sport it that much.
