Job System

[SirThesd]

I can live with no personal spaces (Houses),
I can live with no mail (Barely...),
I COULD live with the job system again after XI...
I COULDN'T live with having to go back to town just to switch from Archer to Pugilist!

Has ANYONE got any info on this? got a feeling I just missed out a Lodestone post or 2, my Anima sucks as it is and I don't fancy having to call a chocobo (assuming we'll be able to call them...) just to go get a change of job...

Hopefully it'll just be a Menu option but I doubt I'll get that lucky...

Thanks in advance, to anyone posting useful information anyway...

Honestly i wish they would have had just a menu right from the start instead of making the weapon the way we change, that way it would be easy to let people use multiple weapons and not worry about it if they did change the classes around or add the job system.

Im gonna go ahead and assume its either 1) a menu thing, you choose when you equip 2) weapons will be specific to jobs or 3) if you equip a say "PLD" skill it will make you PLD and lock out w/e stuff you cant use.

I'm liking the sound of No.3 if im honest

Really not any info that we can go off of yet... We will just have to wait until after 1.19 releases.

I don't even...

where did you get any idea that the coming job system in any way even suggested having to use a city hub to change classes?

you dont read the producer letters then? and i'm going on the basis of XI (since this is starting to feel like an upgraded XI)

For the record the current class change is called the "Armory system" to the best of my knowledge... or it was in the beta anyway...

Actually I read them all quite carefully. I could ask you the same thing.

FFXIV is, with these latest changes, taking quite a lot of inspiration from XI - however it is most clearly not going in the same direction or becoming an upgraded XI. Even so, don't confuse your assumptions for facts.

Right, doing this properly now instead of cutting corners like my last post...

Through the lack of information I've seen/stress/and people refering it to the job system rather than Armory (Stick it with confusion)

I never said it WAS going to be an upgraded XI I said it was starting to FEEL like it.
Fair enough I didn't exactly word my opening post very well, I'm not trying to go for a "Strawman" here... but did you even read the entire post? Because I asked for information, and the way your post reads it seems as though your assuming I'm demanding that I'm right, But please, Correct me if I'm wrong.

That aside, guess I'll just reword my original question since people lower down in the thread don't seem to know what it was,

Does anyone have Detailed information on the updates to the current Job system?
I'm NOT asking how the current system works, which some people seem to think...
Although I will say thank you for the refresher since you took the time.

The confusion is no doubt due to your use of the term 'Job System.'

In FFXIV, the Armoury System is what refers to the classes we have available among other things. That system, in essence, is not changing other than some skill rearrangements and such. The classes are remaining as they are. In fact new classes, such as Musketeer and Archanist are to be implemented quite a while down the road.

The Job System is an entirely new system being added on top of the Armoury System. The details are unknown, as to how one will be able to utilize this system, but there are some known facts:

• Jobs will be separate from classes. They do no overwrite them, nor are they simply advanced forms of classes.
• Jobs will be unlocked via quests with requirements of having certain classes at certain ranks.
• Jobs will not have their own level - they will match the level of the class they stem from 9if you have a Lv. 45 GLA, upon switching to Paladin it will be a Lv. 45 Paladin.
• Once a Job is unlocked, you are not always on that job - you can chose to play as any class or any job (based on them saying classes will be better suited to solo play while jobs better for party play.)
• Initially there will be one job unlocked per class currently in game, but more will be made available in future patches.

I hope that clarifies the system and answers some of your questions.

From what I understand.


You change your Class using weapons like Normal, If you have a job unlocked for that class you select it as active in your Skills Menu.
