It feels silly needing to alienate the community in that fashion, the population is small enough as is. I tend to do solo, small group, and full party play. Jobs just seem like they'll tell me that I could only do one thing or another, and are just going make the game convoluted. Allowing classes to evolve into jobs? Fine. However, the archetypes of Final Fantasy jobs will just make things that already work in FFXIV seem really off. The whole point of FFXIV was to allow customization in your character and play style. Why bog that down with a traditional job system.

in before people say that FFXI had subjobs and FFT allowed you to use abilities from other jobs. It's nowhere near as flexible as FFXIV has been.

Again, I am indifferent about Jobs at the moment, as I do not know enough about them. Maybe Yoshida can sway my opinion, maybe not. This is pure speculation on my end. I'm just stating problems that may arise.
