Possible removal of Classes

[Ririta]

Not that I disagree the job/class system is seriously disconnected, but Tanaka's original vision was shit. Fatigue system capping your exp, anima recharge for teleports, no content, copy/paste zones, market wards with no auction house, high level mobs right outside of town a few feet from starting level mobs. Painfully slow combat, hiding everything behind two or three layers of menus. It goes on.

That's not to say there aren't a few things I didn't enjoy, like seamless zones and far better movement animations, but overall his vision was poop.

I mean his idea of the cross class system allowing you to customize your spells and being able to emulate classic jobs if you wanted to. Sadly I don't know how well this worked as I've only started playing in 2.0, but it sounds pretty "Final Fantasy-ish" to me.

It's been stated before that every FF game as their own take/ iteration of these occupations. A summoner in FFXIV is just as much as Yuna is a summoner in FFX.

Summoners summon, Bio has always been a black magic spell, Ruin has always been a black magic spell, and Shadow Flare is typically a monster only version of Flare that dealt dark aspected damage, and the only difference between our bards and older bards is that older bards attacked and did damage with their harps, as well as sing. Ah, FFT Bard is still my favorite iteration...

About all I want for BRD are the Brave/Faith up spells they had in that game and I would be beyond happy.

The point is that if you're gonna excuse FFXIV's jobs, then the dislike for classes for being "not Final Fantasy-ish" seems undeserved.
