Class Names in A Realm Reborn

[Galliano]

Where is third class like pet-class which also won in player's poll?

Summoner...

If we were to implement a new weapon category such as "great sword," it doesn't necessarily mean we would need to introduce a brand-new class specifically for this. We would have to discuss with the battle team on this, including the possibility of allowing gladiators to choose between one-hand swords and great swords.

Last part made my mind explode....

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.

In addition, Yoshi and his crew have already mentioned that there's plenty of content in the works that are specific to either classes or jobs. Patience, people.

I honestly would rather jobs level separately from classes. Then it wouldn't be as bad if more than 1 job branched off from 1 class.

I want to be able to use a scythe as a Dark Knight... ._.

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

Well...I heard about this somewhere before...let me check my papers here...
*rustle, rustle*
...
I do believe they stated somewhere (long, long ago) that the Japanese names are just names like Sword-user (something like sword-technique-user, translated), and Spear-user because they have less of a cultural background in different types of warriors. Most were know just as Samurai, as their caste, while in western history we know where Gladiators and Lancers (also known as "Dragoons", but we know why they can't be called that...) come from. Where Archers and Pugilism come from.
I'll try to find it, though I have a feeling it might be from around launch.

Scythe and whip class <yes, please>.

Real Whip gameplay

No random FF bondage pls.
Though making a real, viable whip class would be fun. Mid-range class like Lancer...

I don't mind a majority of class names to stay the same, but can we at least replace THM? The class was completely butchered in terms of lore for the sake of BLM. Let's just change the name to something else at this point. There's no point in keeping THM if it doesn't have any similarity to THM at release. It's just being stubborn.

I hope that if they add in "Musketeers" I want them to be called Gunners. At least I hope they will be a range specific class instead of a gun/sword hybrid...

What I'd like to see is class icons being updated. Jobs have these nice looking colorful icons while class icons are so bland, I'm sure they feel lonely because of that ;<
