Classes & Jobs

[Fiosha_Maureiba]

I think I see where the OP was coming from.

Where say in 2.0, all gladiators are just paladins from the start. And setting a Paladin Stone ability on your action bar locks out cross class abilities. Still the armory system, with job names instead of class + job names.

I wonder if we'll reach a point where we just change classes via stones/drop downmenu, then wield more types of weapons on a class. Favor, required, and exclusive traits still influencing how we lean.

The Armory system is not that much different from XI's system. Stuff the moogle, Burn down the moghouse, and add the jobs to the weapons instead.

there's no Reason why XIV's Warrior Couldn't equip every weapon under the sun....just tag the weapons you wanted Warrior to have as (Required: GLA MRD WAR PLD)

Yet every XI humping fanboy fails to realize this. Nope, it has to be EXACTLY like FFXI or it's not worth trying.

Better yet, just allow a job stone to be equipped on different classes. Same effect, but logically within the system they are building.

Little problem with your base there: Weapon defines class, and each weapon can only be tied to one class (nothing stops a BOW that is a Pugilist's Arm, mind, HOWEVER that would be counter-intuitive) since that is a given of the system So a Warrior could only, in fact, equip the armament of the classes that can equip the Warrior Job Stone. Which could be 1, 2 or even 8, who nows what'll be done.

I think this is more of a nitpick and less of arguing your actual point, though, feel free to ignore.

that would be true if i were talking about a Class, however i was referring to a job. as far as we know there isn't an armory weapon associated to any job aside from the obvious Parent class weapons. the Warrior job could be given/or learn a trait(s) that allows it to equip any weapon. Skill Manuals immediately come to mind.
