Why not abolish the Class system entirely in favor of Jobs? [@ Devs]

[Yoji]

Yes do this and release ARR in 2020. It's to late for that now, it would require changing the whole game.

I disagree, jobs could be separated from classes. It's not like classes get any love anyway and doesn't seem like they will any time soon.

It's pointless to have something useless in game, especially when it prevents positive changes. They could merge current classes with the jobs and remove the ability for cross ability selection.

Is there really that much difference between Conjurer and White Mage?

I'd just like to know what benefit linking Thief to say Gladiator (dagger user) would be ability/stat-wise. Dark Knight would be more likely Marauder, but Dark Knight uses great sword or scythe, not great axe.
