Why did SE decide to make the three new classes not require base classes?

[Ghishlain]

I like that the new jobs are jobs only, it gives S-E more quests to help flesh out the story for that particular job instead of having two separate sets of stories needed to complete the job (one for classes, the second for the job). I will admit though, I found the class stories are better than the job stories from what I've seen so far so I hope the new job storyline will be equally as enjoyable. Here's hoping.

Off-topic, there's a little bit of delicious irony involved here knowing that Fran Seara is a "Pro-Class / Anti-Job" player, yet has finished a Zodiac weapon that can only be equipped by a JOB and not the class itself. Based on post history, I'm beginning to think Fran is just a troll though @.@

That would certainly explain a lot...

No troll. promise Be it would be nice if ES would fix that to read ARH/BRD
