Let's put an end to this class/job debate HERE!

[Irzibe]

Since we know now that classes are here to stay, this is what should happen to them:

The way I see classes being expanded upon is if they make jobs branch out from them. For example:

Gladiator in the future can wield both a sword and a mace/morning stars, which then makes the Gladiator class branch to PLD and DRK.

It's really simple going forth with other classes:

- Archer >> BRD or RNG or Musketeer or other ranged job
- Thaumaturge >> BLM or BLU or whatever other nuking job
- Conjurer >> WHM or SCH or whatever other mage support job
- Lancer >> DRG or SAM
- A new pet class >> SMN or BST or PUP
- A new assassin class that wields daggers etc >> NIN or THF

What would be really crazy is if they make it so that your character gets locked to that one job (EDIT: PER CLASS) that you decide to branch to! I think that will be awesome. You would still be able to go say Katana or Polearm with Lancer class, but specialize and become either a SAM or DRG.

EDIT: For example: For the Lancer class, you'll be specializing in it as a DRG, and for the Archer class, you decide to do RNG. For the Conjurer class you do WHM. Etc!

And that's just me coming up with that stuff in 5 min.
