Class => Job => ???

[Gravton]

I'm in favor of removing classes, but my only concern would be my lvl. Only drk, mch, ast, rdm, and sam are jobs. The rest was spent lvling a class I.e. Always getting gladiator xp and never getting pld xp. I don't want to re-lvl anything so if the Xp can be transferred I'd be ok with it.

They'll simply change the names and nothing else. Think of it like how the job tab in our character menu now lists actually jobs once unlocked instead of the classes.

Anywho, they will never implement branching jobs/classes because it's essentially developing a whole new job. Why have a Machinist who can be a healer when you can just design an actual Chemist to be said healer? That is how FFXIV handles class deviation. You simply switch to another one entirely.

It's only renaming classes as job for most, except arcanist. With slight work editing the job quests.
I'm okay with removing too. Maybe they can work out solution for SMN and SCH separate someday.
