    Classes & Jobs

    Do we need both a class and job system? Why not just ditch classes and have the job system like FFXI. I honestly don't see the need or the attraction to have both. Anyway that is just my opinion. I'd really like to know what others think on the subject.

    Because a Job is designed for a specific task (WHM = healer, BLM = nuker) and a class is designed to be mixture and use abilities for other classes.

    Class = Solo
    Job = Group specific role

    Because it's FF XIV. The FF XI job system would not work with the armory system. It would be like changing the materia system from FF VII to the job system from FF III.
    I honestly don't see the need or the attraction to have both.
    One is for solo play with all skills you have learned, the other is for specialized roles in a party

    Because there might be multiple jobs per class. Imagine Gla -> Paladin/DK/Samurai.

    Ok thanks Mariya, that makes things a bit clearer for me.

    Because while the community whined that the armory system and its classes weren't Final Fantasy enough, they don't want it gone for some reason.

    Not only that but there may also be jobs that require multiple classes. The layered system works fine. Classes = weapon styles, jobs = specializations.

    A job is an extension of a class so, I just hope it dosent come down to, no job? No party for you puny class user. If something is going to kill classes is the community demanding jobs to party, not SE
