Dev Suggestion: Unrestricting all cross class action

[Kio]

Eh, how you stated was how the game was originally designed in the early ages of 1.0. It didn't work out like you imagine, it was just a mess. The restrictions were put in place because it made the game a lot better for it. I know people like the illusion of free range choice and customization but its never actually utilized and kind of a waste of dev time balancing options that no one will use. What I'm hoping for is for the situation of, "Hey my buddy and I want to duo a dungeon but neither of us can heal" would be the introduction of venturing buddy NPC's (similar to chocobo companion). That's an idea which has been mentioned more than once by the dev team and might be the better solution than completely reverting and re-balancing the class system.

Actually I and many others enjoyed that part of 1.0. And it wasn't really a "mess" as you call it. I was able to go do stuff with a buddy of mine instead of waiting for a specific person to fit that role.

Right now White Mage is the only job that retained this ability since White mage get both arcanist and thau's abilities.

And I don't think there is any reason to re-balance this system and for that matter, it will bring balance to the current system. For example, Astrologist will be able to use Virus and Eye for an eye which will be a nice.
