So Why assume removal of Classes?

[Starlord]

Let me ask you this OP according to the Keynote, they said that Dark knight will not have any prerequisite ( meaning no class or job at a certain level to get DRK), You just get DRK at level 1 and level it up. I don't have any more evidence as you do atm. However considering that fact that the first job they announce ( in which other future job will follow this new formula most likely) has no base class/no Prereq, other jobs will follow suit.

So why have two entirely different systems? Class system ( that won't even be used anymore, kinda pointless to have since FFXIV seems to be heading into the direction of FFXI ( Jobs only). And a No class system in 3.0? That will just confuse the player. It's either 1 or the other.

No bass class/No Prereq makes it pretty clear in their stance on what they want to do with the class system, but I will hold my judgement on that call till we get confirmation from Yoshi.
