Kurokikaze I gotta admit this is a well put together thought and very well explained but I don't like the idea of restricting my freedom that SE has given me in this game. I like the idea SE saying about bring back classic jobs like you are proposing but I would like the freedom of choosing my weapons, skills and class. Where I can mix Dark knight with Marauder, Lancer, or be it Archer. Its the freedom I like and its what makes it so different from FFXI. I would understand keeping Disciples of War (like Dark Knight, Dragoon, Paladin, Monk, Ninja, and Samurai) with War and Disciples of Magic (like Summoner, Black Mage, White Mage, Red Mage, Blue Mage and etc.) with Magic. I also understand the difficulty of have for example a Monk (which is a Bare fist fighter or fights with a staff job) mix with a GLA but I like some of the class unique abilities and how some of them work better with the same class. What you are proposing is another system like the Point System for attributes. Sure its a good idea but it means I can't be that flexible because I gotta go back and change choices between Paladin and Dark. Meaning for example 75% of the server choose Dark and a party is looking for an available Paladin Tank it sounds like we are out of luck til someone goes back and redo there Job quests. (Could happen some servers look pretty empty like 400 people the most)

Hopefully I read your thread wrong and I am misunderstanding something so I am gonna just as questions instead and if you wish to answer me I would be grateful.

1. If I should Dark Knight would I be able to do Paladin as well and fully level and unlock all talents at the same time?

2. Being a Dark Knight I am restricted to GLA class meaning only Sword and Shield or Great Sword? So that means no Scythe, No Great Axe, and No more mixing weapon skills or anything else? just like FFXI?

3. With the Talent Tree, we are talking like merit points? meaning you only get a limit and we cannot fully explore every option unless retaking the points we put in and reallocating them? Or make a whole new character?


Just a few questions to make up my mind. If what I understand is correct than I would be dissappointed in the choice the gaming community is trying to take because I can clearly see alot of people agree with you. Other than that if you answer my questions I appreciate it and again you did a great job in creating a impressive thread.
