So Why assume removal of Classes?

[Drivont]

They are not jumping the gun. They are Yoshi's words. They were looking into a solution for the attribute points (SCH and SMN for now) since you now have to gimp one. He then also mention that they might change the whole system.

The classes are a 1.0 remnant. They should just remove it.

I would personally love to see our job stones become a vessel like the animus spheres, (maybe a quest to "etch" multiple ones?) where we can put abilities into certain "roles" and equip them to sort of tweak the classes we're playing. It'd be really cool for a PLD to be tankish all around, but put attack style abilities into a job stone, with some double attk, or fight or flight style boosts or sword oath with a %based increase to auto-attacks or something, and equip that to sorta fill in a DPS role, or with white magic, like more ways of curing and buffing a party for defense, and have it spec'd as a healer styled role.... I dunno how that would exactly work, but the jobs right now need something to set them all apart...

essentially if you played FFXI, you'd be playing with meritable job stones
