Advanced Jobs Idea Again

[Rufalus]

Since Yoshida is pondering what to do after the lv100 cap.
I've been replaying some classics and I'm reminded that the concept of advancing into direct upgrade jobs has been used in multiple FF games since the very first one.

White Mage > Devout
Black Mage > Magus or Sorcerer
Red Mage > Red Wizard
Monk > Black Belt
Dragoon > Holy Dragoon

Those are some that have been done before. Would have to make up some new ones, like Samurai > Shogun. It's somewhat arbitrary but it can be used as a replacement for adding wholly new jobs when they run out of ideas or resources to support more.

Instead all existing jobs would upgrade into advanced versions of the same job with mostly aesthetic changes and some minor changes to battle rotations. They can start at lv1 but with a star next to it, indicating it's equivalent to lv101.

I want it because it's cool. Kain's Holy DRG set pictured.

Honestly I doubt they would run out of jobs they just need to be creative with how they input them in the game.

Final fantasy has a ton of jobs that can be added, and can add in the fantasy that some jobs we have are missing aka theievery or true bard true archery

then you have things like mystic knight, Runeblade,beastmaster,tamer,mathethic,mimic, geomancer,masocot(ff10-2),corsair and so forth so honestly they have enough jobs in final fantasy already that aren't in the game they could add such as those. Then beyond that they could add in other things like foebreaker from ff12-2 with an axe and shield. I wouldn't mind having a true Knight not a paladin but a true knight wiithout magic just specialsword work skills. But even beyond those they could add in a metamorphs jump like vincent valentine.


Could literally add in theif and add in the mixing skill so the theif steals items and mixs them which gives people their chemist and a real theif job aka Rikku from ff10


not even counting wakka could make a blitzer job out of rather easily

Truth is if they run out of jobs they arent creative enough I'm just saying if i sit down for 10mins I could write out full rotations for each of those jobs I listed that would make it way different than anything in the game already. So if they can't do it maybe they should hire me lol plus i could give them unique weapons

.... have you ever played a final fantasy game before? these are literally upgrades or advance jobs from the final fantasy series

[BRVV]

They never said that they run out of job ideas or am i wrong? They said they don't want to just increase lvl cap and they got on record claiming the class > job system was a mistake. So i doubt they will do that again. More likely we will get our levels reduced or even a mastery system.

I don't know how it would necessarily work, but it definitely wouldn't be an entirely terrible idea as an alternative to just endlessly increasing the level cap.

Also, the final level cap should definitely be 99. Because it's always been 99 with Final Fantasy games.

[SillyCrow]

Other than a fancy job title it doesn't really bring much to the table. Unless you were to add forks like Arcanist to Summoner or Scholar.

The Arcanist splitting into two jobs has been a constant source of trouble for the dev team, I doubt they want to do anymore like that.

FACTUALLY WRONG! Because of FFVIII ;P

So basically there's no point in adding advanced jobs at all.
