can we have 2nd raise ability via item ?

So let's always use classes for content, so just in case the game breaks, everything glitches, and basically all hell breaks loose we can attempt to make use of 4 extra raises and recover from it. Let's give up all the benefits of jobs to make sure we've got a better safety net for the inconceivable.

Because, as we all know, when shit goes so horribly wrong and we wipe, we can't just go back in and try again.

Damn, I'm not saying that. In fact, I too will hardly use classes at all after getting the job. I'm just trying to tell you that sometimes, due to certain circustances, it MAY be useful for a few party members to still use a class, be it for a certain strategy or whatever, and that is not "against the design" as you claim. Then, I provided one single example to illustrate my point. That's all.

I'm not saying Jobs are useless, that everyone should use classes, Job-using sheeps should be kicked from parties, or anything of the sort.

Also, the fact that they are going to add class specific gear is a good indication that not only this isn't "against the design", but that the developers themselfs are considering that possibility.
