Has the development team decided on Class vs Job relationship/progression?

[AceofRains]

The best option is clearly multiple jobs from one class. Theres no reason to make a new class every time you make a job, it just is a waste of efforts.

The job system was made for horizontal growth and that means... multiple jobs from one class

Above that, there is no 'advanced' jobs wtf would be the point? every jobs is exactly that a job. Maybe future jobs should require you to beat your guild storyline first so its harder to obtain than the first ones released and in that sense you can consider then advanced.

They could go down the route of Advanced Jobs.

Which require 2 Jobs at a certain level to unlock (rather than classes).
Example: PLD 50 and BLM 50 (or some other levels 30:30?) to unlock Dark Knight. And Dark Knight Advanced job starts at level 1 and needs to be leveled?

I know some would disagree, but I do prefer starting new jobs from level 1 as its nice to start again and level up through the old stomping grounds.

The main problem with the "requirements" is that would just be a programming step and not a design step. Would you be able to switch to DRK if you were on your THM/GLA? what about your BLM/PLD? What weapon would it use? They limit the jobs currently to only using the weapons of it's class, so would it make sense for DRK to use a club/staff?

What I think you are implying is it would be a whole new class but you need specific requirements to unlock it?

SE did talk about having an "Advanced Job" so it's up in the air whether they decide to do that or not. Honestly I think it would be cool way to raise the level cap. But overall, SE just let's us speculate and doesn't really give us a foundation to build our ideas on.
