Some of those are pretty strange combos. However really excited for Mnk/Lnc

I was able to sneak a peek at the documents regarding the upcoming job system announcement coming next week and I smuggled out a lil' morsel that you might be interested in. I figure, if you all knew what classes were required for each job, you could set a goal to raise them up over the weekend (if you're like Camate who was all "omg Bayohne, help me level up my lancer tomorrow!"...).

Take a gander at the requirements to begin the quests to unlock the jobs... (don't tell Yoshi-P I showed you!)

This is just what I was waiting for. Thanks Bayohne!

So after talking to some LS friends I ran into some confusion about the new jobs, they say that the job stone will act more like a title? Say you're a lvl 50 GLD and you go PLD, do you start over over or do you have all your lvl 50 GLD stats and can just flythrough the PLD quest line? I was anticipating this patch was a whole lot of new content but if the later is the case I see all the people with all DoW/DoM @50 breezing through the content in less then a week? And for say someone with a GLD/MRD @30 switching to PLD does this mean I still have to lvl GLD to 50 for the stats/skills anyways?

Jobs are sort of a declaration of a role you will be playing, primarily for a large party. Essentially it limits your ability to cross class skills but in return gives you access to new job skills as well as job-specific armor that will very likely enhance the role the job represents even further. It's a specialization, if you will.

The level of the job is not independent, but rather identical to the level of the class it belongs to. Thus, if you are on a Lv 30 GLA, and happen to have CNJ leveled to 15 as well, you can access the first PLD job quest which will be a lv 30 quest. Completing it likely will unlock the job. There are job quests every 5 levels from then on: 35, 40, 45, 50. This makes 5 quests per job, each quest granting you access to another job skill. Therefore your job isn't fully unlockable until the class it belongs to is level 50.

Anyone who has their battle classes at 50 will likely breeze through the earlier quests, provided they are battle based, but I've got my fingers crossed for the final quest being challenging and meaningful for each job.

So i was reading this post yoshi did awhile ago, in producer letter XX i believe. I am wondering is there going to be stats on the jse that is exclusive in nature? "Haste,regen,ect.." Thats the example im giving, just a hunch.

"Crafter motivation and repairs
Crafters should place creating items as their highest priorities. Crafters should earn their respect through developing their skills to a high level. This is why we are spending a lot of time to implement the materia craft system.

I think that repairs should be easily accomplished through using a small part of the skills that crafters have spent so long to develop. Crafters should receive the most satisfaction out of creating challenging weapons and armor and exploring the materia craft system." http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...471#post318471 this is the link for refrence.

I hope that Topics post Bayohne hinted at next week comes with a more in-depth video showing animations for all of the job skills. At least the BRD's songs.

I know, I know. May as well wait for the end of the week. Still want it though lol

So now the bigger question is if @30 I complete the PLD job quest and join a party would I get GLD skills unlocked as I lvl as a PLD or would I have to stay GLD and just do the PLD quests to unlock job skills and not party as PLD till 50?
Lmao, seams the more info we get the more questions I have ><

Gladiator and Paladin are the same thing... Paladin uses Gladiator Skills and IS for all intents and purposes Gladiator so leveling up as Paladin and Gladiator is exactly the same thing, you learn the same Gladiator skills. You just have to quest for the Paladin skills later.

It is easy to understand. PLD and GLA levels up in parallel with each other. The only difference is that you have to quest to unlock pld gear, abilities and spells.

The simple and direct answer to your question is:

When on a job, any experience points earned go directly to the class the job belongs to (ie. when playing as a PLD in a large grind party, all the experience you earn will go to GLA.)
