Scrap classes altogether...or make jobs the master classes

[Belial]

if you are glad you are always tank or a waste of a spot. you are never dps.

Only an example here

Why so serious?

I am sure this thread has been done to death (but I havent seen one that I can remember) but who would be in favor of SE either just scrapping the class system all together instead of giving us jobs or changing the way they describe they are handling the jobs?

The whole class + job system they describe just seems like it could possibly be more complicated than it should be and wont really add much to the game. Unless they have something really fancy lore/quest wise in store for us.

If they scrap classes I do not mean to erase our lvls, but just convert con to whm, thm to blm, gld to pld and so on. I personally wouldnt mind them doing something of the sort. I wouldnt even mind brd overtaking arc if we got rng at some point.

The only way I could see them keeping the class/job combo system as it has been so far described, is if they would make the jobs an advancment of the classes like in ff1 and instead of us equipping the new job when we feel like it, the whm would be the grown up version of con and once you capped con at 50 you do your job quests and your con was renamed whm, and we could go off on our merry way.

It could make for interesting story. Your lvl and strength in a class gets tested at a certain point and you then become a master which is accompanied by a title change.

I understand we dont know what they have in store for us yet but I personally feel this would be a better system then what has been described so far.

Very bad idea.

The current armoury system with classes and, now, jobs is much more better. It's obvious you haven't thoroughly done your homework on the classes-jobs relation before posting this thread.
My suggestion to you, wait for the actual information to get officially released. Then, wait for 1.21 and play the jobs for a while to get a good grasp of the dynamic. Only when all that is done should you re-write your thread, because right now it's not looking good.

This isn't going to happen. Time to move on.

We have not seen how jobs come into play yet. Wait another couple of weeks before complaining.

All I know is...

....that it's been very amusing reading some peoples' posts; acting like they know 100% of all the "granularities" of how the class/job system will work come 1.21 - that they can identify with nearly absolute certainty the good, bad, and so-so aspects of the system - despite the fact that we all only have fairly minimal/basic/surface information about it.

So, a very humble thank you for starting my Friday night with many good laughs!

~YE-YEAH!~
