[dev 1032] What's wrong with job/subjob again?

[Kimahri]

The Job/sub job did not create unique characters at all. "a paladin is a paladin is a paladin" is how that old job went. If you werent Pld/War you were crap. You really want that old "Bland" system back.

I say bland because people are calling this newer system bland, even though you can fully customize your character with various skills and spells, to create something far beyond your basic jobs. You can turn your gladiator into a paladin, or turn your gladiator into a dark knight (still 1-h but the spells are still there).

I suggest those who are complaining about the class skill system try ranking up more than 1 or 2 jobs and you will see.

So how exactly will this system be any different as far as being unique from FFXI? Down the road you're still going to have people who desire certain abilities to be used for the classes and shun those who don't cope with the norm. Your view on FFXI & FFXIV is irrelevent at best with your topics. Like someone said up above. "If this game's class system was perfect, why would people be complaining about it?"

And just so you know. Look down at my card down below this. If you'll notice, I've leveled every job. So far? Boring. The only reason why I like Lancer over the rest right now is because of Speed Surge being a class specific(Really it's weapon specific) trait that really shakes it apart from the others in my opinion.

What needs to happen is that abilities need to be turned into class specific rather than you being able to use it on whatever class you want.

Fact: A Marauder shouldn't have MP to use for Cure, Protect, Shell, etc.

Fact: A Pugilist shouldn't be able to use weaponskill's from another class whose weaponskills base off being slashing or piercing when their weapons are blunt based.

Fact: The current system needs drastic changes to improve upon so a much more pleased crowd can be obtained. (I believe ~80% approved in the questionaire?)

False: This game is better than FFXI in terms of being unique to a certain degree.

You can not be unique if you have a hall pass to every ability with minimal consequences.
