I've always wished they would drop the class system and just stick with the new job system. Classes are pointless now except for the odd fact that you can do more dmg on archer than on bard... But what ever, all I can hope is they will stick to adding traditional jobs instead trying to reinvent the wheel all the time. Red Mage, yes please.

Gladiator 剣術士 Ken-jutsu-shi
Pugilist 格闘士 Kaku-tou-shi
Marauder 斧術士 Fu-jutsu-shi (also read ono-jutsu-shi)
Lancer 槍術士 Sou-jutsu-shi (also read yari-jutsu-shi)
Archer 弓術士 Kyuu-jutsu-shi
Musketeer 銃術士 Jyuu-jutsu-shi
Conjurer 幻術士 Gen-jutsu-shi
Thaumaturge 呪術士 Jyu-jutsu-shi
Arcanist 巴術士 Ha-jutsu-shi

The Japanese names are a bit... lazy. I think we got the better deal with the English class names.

ugh, i was hoping they would kill the class and keep the jobs XD

tbh with the current set up, we would benifit more from a sub job system vs what we have now,

1 it would for otherwise overly rounded jobs to become more role specific

2 would allow jobs that would normaly not be seen as strickly singularly aspected to become more diverse by strongly adjusting its abilities , given there would be no limitations on all available abilities for both job and sub job, not unlike ffxi
example: PLD can now become more offensive with a subjob like mnk or drg or war, giving a strong boost in offensive ablities, however if one wanted to focus on the defensive traits of tanking they could use war as a sub job , but if they wanted to focus on the self reginative traits of tanking they could sub job whm. There would be a new type of limitation to ability useage but would re open that customizable aspect to jobs I strongly enjoyed in ffxi.

maybe a compromise between the two, how bout if they are gona limit us to two jobs in wich we can pull abilities maybe make more abilities in the jobs we can select from , actually usefull to the current job set. Just makes sense. If i am subbing war on my pld , would be realy nice to have vengance or rampart lol.

Dear everyone complaining about the fact that there are both classes and jobs: it'll make a -lot- more sense once there's more than one job associated with each class. Hang tight.
