TBQH I believe people are looking too much into the "removal of classes" part about the expansion. I believe what they are talking about is that future jobs coming to ff14 will be just that, Jobs with no class involvement. I don't see them removing ALL classes from the game and reworking each job, unless there will be slight tweaks to the "class" skills/spells and just do away with the class system all together.

Also I would not miss the classes as they are the generic version of each job. Granted they get the access to use FAR more cross skill abilities than the Jobs that stem from them. Either way, I can't wait for the expansion. Four jobs I can't wait to see (2 already have been confirmed) but the other two will make me make my monthly sub payment in person.
