2 things on this part. Yoshi P said a million times to "please speculate" about other things brought up in that article so why not speculate on them all! But also Feedback is only as good as the sincerity behind it. I am FULLY aware we need more details. I stated this from the beginning. But to think people, when given super limited information, won't think about where things could lead is incredibly short sighted. And there is a chance it can let the community team if not the dev team know about people's concerns IN CASE that is in fact the path they were considering.

As far as your spell caster skills costing mana, Nope never said they would. And BLM and SMN have access to BRD skills? Yup they sure do and from the casters I've played with that and swiftcast is the only things they've felt were worth a damn as cross class skills, so that said not sure how that helps BRD and MCH because THAT"S my concern. What does BLM and SMN offer to BRD and MCH? There was another post about the famitsu article that claimed Yoshi P said skills like Bio and Miasma. That does not thrill me.

I can agree with this part of your statement and believe this is more the idea then the "general consensus" someone else spoke of. I do not believe they are in anyway keeping the current cross class skill system or rather the "additional skill system" and it is being replaced with the shared role system. I could of course be wrong but as someone else pointed out this would "bloat" our skills not prune them as would seem to be the desire.
