Thread: Requesting Information on Jobs: Preparing for 1.21

Yup but they said that you will probably need 2 classes (main at 30 and sub at 15) to unlock jobs, so it will be interesting to see the class combinations in question (mar-gla already confirmed for paladin) and if you can freely access the abilities of both corresponding class, or maybe, say, all the abilities from your "main" and only cross-classable abilities from your "sub"

My guess stat wise is that they will be as good as 2-slot materia, could be wrong however. They want crafted gear to ultimately be better, but you have to get a lot slotted in the piece of gear to make it the best. At least that is what they are aiming for.

Stats wise I don't expect them to be the top gear available, but I expect traits and set bonuses that will boost your efficiency in particular aspects related to the core of the job. There are tons of possible useful traits or bonuses that cannot be achieved with materia at the moment (think haste, double attack, bonus to weaponskill, store tp, conserve mp etc.)

True no need to request it but i agree with the op, always nice for a little sneak peak.

Pay attention. It's my thread, and considering it got a rep post just today it's far from being dead.

lol... ok

Didn't know that was a thing.

I thought they talked a bit about how jobs will work. Like Pld i think they said will have lower HP but higher Def, and Drg high crit but low acc. Im sure someone will link to all this at some point. As far as cross class skills i would think that you would b able to use SOME skills from the 2nd class u need to unlock said Job.

I'm hoping they allow multiple branches from a main class in the future.

Ex:
Archer(Main) + Conjurer(Sub) = Bard
Archer(Main) + Musketeer(Sub) = Ranger
Gladiator(Main) + Conjurer(Sub) = Paladin
Gladiator(Main) + Thaumaturge(Sub) = Dark Knight
etc...

Nice discussion going on here guys. Don't hesitate to include some questions you may have as well and I don't mind updating the OP.

@ Velhart
Thanks for the input man.

@TheVedis
Yea, but the point is mainly discussion on the forums really. Also a nice, convenient thread for the reps to drop info on when they feel like sharing.
