Lets have class only abilities and spells

[Kiote]

You mean like all the other countless MMO's out there that alienate people based on a forced role?

That is exactly right. There is a large number of Gamer's who do not play MMO's because they cannot play the way they want to. MMO's have always been overly restrictive. FFXI was a hit because you could play every way without starting over. The current class system build on that and draws in a larger Fan Base. This is especially true of the Final Fantasy fan base who has grown used to being able to develop character in any direction they want.

Final Fantasy has not been a game with forced Roles for a very long time.
