    I agree with Hiruke. The class system is useless. we should start as the JOB, as the level 1 class; at 30 we take the new questline by proving we have a grasp at our secondary skillset. So as a level 30 paladin, we take the quest that proves we have a grasp of white magic; gaining our Soul Crystal which increases our stats and allows us to continue the Paladin Storyline; leading us into our Artifact Gear.

    "Welcome to the ranks of the blue mages. However, at this moment you are but an empty vessel--a base creature, weaker than the most ordinary mortal. A blue mage must wrest her strength and vitality from her enemies. Show me your hunger for unrivaled power! This is the only guidance I shall give you."

    To me the big advantage comes from versatility, you level one class and you can fulfill 2 roles. I also like that it gives weight to the Bonus Point allocation system in the first place, there doesn't seem to be much point if everyone does it the exact same way. This way it forces you to make a decision, not like you couldn't change it later if you wanted to. To me the purpose of the class isn't to use it independent of Jobs but to serve as the foundation to how you approach a given role. That's why I was really hoping to see more classes get a 2nd Job attached since in most every case, the class is indeed useless.
