[dev 1032] Alternative to Specialization, a FFT based system

[Kimahri]

I like where you're going with this. You thought this out and are trying to come up with an alternative to a better classification system. The only thing I see is that is a hell of a lot of Advanced Ranks. I mean, are you saying you can combine Gladiator with any other class to make a completely new one? If so we're looking at one hell of a list of Advanced Ranks.

It's some damn good thinking, though. Let me make a suggestion to you. Someone made a thread relating to this. What if you can take Gladiator and turn him into either one of two advanced ranks? What I'm trying to say is let's say you get Gladiator to Rank 30. You get a quest that either let's him go down the holy path of a Paladin, or the destructive path of a Dark Knight. You could even stay as Gladiator. That to me seems like a pretty good solution, too.

I wholeheartedly agree with this system of classes. Not only does it fix the terrible class system we have now, but it also returns it to traditional FF classes and allows a VAST range of improvement on the classes.

I've wanted a FFT: Online forever, I simply wish that they will follow this and make it happen.

Good post.

Sorry if u misunderstood me, i didnt mean there should be limitless possibilities or that it was practically possible, i was just saying that it leaves the development team a wide range of area they can play with.

In practice, i would imagine there only being 2-3 advanced classes for every basic (ie, GLD would unlock, in part, PLD and Berserker and maybe one). Yes, the system does make a lot of theoritical room for classes, but there is no need for SE to implement them all at once or even at all

Nah. I still think that Gladiator's choices just seem a bit better as Paladin or Dark Knight. Marauder should turn into the Berserker......I want my Samurai so I'm not sure where the hell that'll fit in the categories, though....

While i disagree w that, MRD seems more DRK to me than GLD, the actual combos dont really matter so much. Its the principles of the system that matter the most.
