How would you feel if they scrapped the current "classes"?

[Kimahri]

I would like them to scrap the current class names and go with the traditional FF names. Gladiator is more fitting for Lineage, and rift, but seem out of place to me, being a long time FF player.

Before I continue, my resume includes, FF 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 11, 12, 13, 14, mystic quest(go ahead laugh), tactics and advanced 1/2, Dissidia if you count that.

If they do add the traditional classes I hope abilities and traits are something like this.

1. Weapon skills are tied to weapon, and there are some ws's that can only be used by certain classes.

2. Weapons are no longer tied to classes. Let people just change classes now with the same prerequisite, i.e. in passive mode, and no one in party is engaging the enemy.

3. Some abilities are tied to certain classes, likely being the staple abilities of each class, while the rest can be accessed by every class in the same manner as they are now.

4. Traits are treated like abilities, except they are passive, of course.

I really like how SE are being more vocal, and more importantly, I like how they are trying different things. I think this "catastrophe" may for them to stop and brain storm, maybe returning them to their forward glory, and if not, well, I guess I'll be gaming a lot less.

Although I agree with your points of view, I hardly care about the renaming of the classes. Only one's I would consider would be the Conjurer & Thaumaturge.

With your points to the weapons, I'm game. I really loved the skill point system on weapon's from XI.
