In addition to just work, the classes and jobs are often very different thematically.

You could argue a warrior is a marauder getting in touch with their inner beast…but stuff like going from gladiator to a noble Paladin is a bit of a stretch (which are more like the Sultana’s honor guard and definitely not shoehorned in because Paladin didn’t really fit elsewhere).

Not to mention the jump from thief to ninja.

They made it work..and it could be better but at this point it’s better to just let it be.

Personally, I’d just say remove job crystals. Once you unlock Paladin, you can no longer be a gladiator. It just full on replaces it.
