4Gamer Interview with Yoshi-P!

[Kaurie]

Honestly the armory system can do just that with some limitations, it's just s matter of making those jobs different (brd and mch being the offender here). They could stand to do a bit more synergy between different jobs to encourage different compositions, rather than make drg and warrior optimal for any and all set ups.

I feel the Armoury system could work beautifully to provide the customization aspect we'd like. That said, I think that two things need to accompany that:
1. Less restrictions on gearing multiple jobs
2. More flavour in secondary stats, more horizontal gear choices and more reason to choose something other than your base stat with your 35 attribute points (I don't even see why give us this choice in the current design)
