No More Classes?

[Jandor]

I think (ok, hope) job crystals might get there own levels that overwrite the base classes levels in the expansion.


Jobs with base classes will level the class in parallel with the crystal. Jobs without wouldn't.
So for instance putting one level on Bard would also automatically put an extra level on Archer. However putting Dark Knight on a level 30 Archer will overwrite your class abilities and gaining a level on it wouldn't advance you as an Archer.

Would also work well for Arcanist/Summoner/Scholar. They could finally have distinct stats, you could also have Summoner or Scholar alter the base class much more drastically.


Edit: The old 2.0 jobs should be signposted much more clearly, under this system getting an archer to level 34 then getting your job stone would reset you to level 30 bard, which would be annoying.

Still holding out some hope for this sort of thing .
