Multiple Jobs from a Single Class (confirmed by Yoshi-P)?

I think DRK should come from Mrd personaly, 2h wepons and all.

And to zell, Im pritty sure that smn will be a class not a job, i sure hope so. i want a pet class not have all classes get a pet. just my view tho.

People didn't see BRD coming from ARC either at first. I actually like them making combos like that work.

There are so many jobs accessible to chose form as well. We're probably going to get a few curve balls like Templar and Sorcerer that we don't expect as well.

Maybe Beastmaster will be the Class and Summoner the Job. Beastmaster solos and needs access to all the other class spells/abilities... where as Summoner can be specialized with conjurer/thau as it's two subclasses.

I'm hoping that the jobs aren't far fetched like pgl to thief and more related towards the class. Like how in FFTA2 there was a white monk and a master monk. Since Thief and Ninja are also one of those well-known jobs in the FF-series it could also work for them. Make something like a scout class and give it the option to go either Ninja or Thief as a job.

No, grinding was one of the worst parts about FFXI.

DID YOU KNOW...

That if you had a Thaumaturge 50 when the Jobs system was released...

that you'd immediately* have Black Mage 50 without any effort**?!?

*: after doing all the, you know, Black Mage storyline and quests.

**: Haha, not really. See above footnote.

True kind of, but it all depends on what the SMN pets do, if you controll then like in FFXI having their DPS + Your BLM dps will be stupidly insane and very hard to balance. Its either over kill or the pets are worthless, the whole reason they didnt give DRG his pet wyvern.

[Psion]

I doubt they'd call beastmaster a class, since it's a classic FF job. it would more likely be the new classes having non traditional names like the current ones, with jobs staying as classic names.

Lancer --> Samurai
Pug --> Thief

Please remember that jobs are able to wear class equips and weapons (except class specific), so, assuming you're right, the samurai would use spears instead of katanas and the thief would use katars/hooks/fists/etc (that is possible however)

Can think more about

Lancer -> Dark Knight
Gladiator -> Red Mage/Magic warrior (Fencer)
Thm -> Blue Mage

Dark Knight could use scytes, and also the way drg is now is very close to drk in ff11.

My speculations is theyre gonna get rid of the musketeer and arcanist guilds in 2.0 and introduce them as jobs for archer and thaumaturge later on.

Id be happy with that.
