Hm Square enix dev please take a look at this

Yes they are very similar.

What I'm saying is lets give GLA:

a) 5 unique abilities.

b) 2 sub classes to choose abilities from.

c) AF gear and weapon.

And make it "not" the same thing as PLD, but its own identity not just something from a broken system the current dev team is too afraid to scrap in fear of QQing.

Maybe make its focus be slowly bleeding the mob's HP/MP/TP instead of a right out DD or something.

i'm sorry but i don't think we should give them 5 unique abilities or give them AF there just class the reason we have jobs is for that reason so if you want AF unique abilities play PLD not GLA.
