Limited job concept: Adventurer

[Saraide]

That seems like a fun thought experiment and a bit of a headache to actually implement.

What happens with job gauges, actions that cant be asigned to a hotbar (dance steps for example), role actions, intentionally similar abilities like invulns, attack potencies?

If we get an Adventurer job, I hope it has Deneb's outfit from 4HoL and the Bravely games as Artifact Gear.

The problem about the adventurer class is that it simply can't fit into FFXIV leveling progression, tying adventurer progression to other classes level makes the leveling experience for the freelancer to hugely vary depending on player. For someone with all classes at 90 it would be as simple as grind the adventurer levels while for some newly arrived to 90 it would take the massive undertaking of grinding other classes besides freelancer, giving a very skewed experience that makes the limited class pretty much irrelevant for veterans and a slog for newcomers.

Freelancer in FFV hinged on the fact that job progression was not dependent on the character level due to the JP system, meaning players could change jobs while they progressed with the game and not only would they not have to start leveling again like in FFXIV (unless you count farming JP from Skull Eaters as such), but they would also benefit from the passive abilities and an additional action among those you unlocked from previous jobs. The game was built for players to progress by leveling several jobs. FFXIV is built so you play it by leveling one job. One you can freely swap with another leveled job, but one nonetheless.
