I really hope they do ditch classes. They are leftovers from 1.0 and were something Tanaka made. Now they serve no purpose.

In 1.0, we used to bring THM to Ifrit, and could trio gold key bosses on classes. Now..after level 30, they are 100% useless. To change the lore would be easy, they'd just have to change some of the text. Meh.

AND PLEASE for the love of god..separate SCH and SMN. I do recall them saying they will finally do this, crossing fingers for it being the expansion!
