Are classes needed? POLL

[Firon]

That right there is something players should get use to not having. With jobs players need to be more mindful of what is going on, class is easy mode, jobs actually add a challenge and some strategy. Learn to play without raise on every damn job, becareful of hate, again be mindful of whats going on around you. You can solo while useing jobs so there really isnt a need to have a class as well.

Yes jobs can solo but they run out of steam fast.

I think my biggest problem with this debate is that people are still thinking in FFXI terms. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as certain core mechanics of FFXI were fine, but FF is a series that reinvents itself iteration to iteration.

Why does GLD have to lead to DRK in the first place? Why does it need to have a great sword or a scythe? Why can't classes be your standard "freelance" loadout? You don't need to worry about what's in the game. You just need to worry about whether it's fun or not. Otherwise, you're putting a nice big collar and chain on creativity, and that ruins it for everyone.
