Class System Blues

FFI is looking to you
Btw a pure buffing class is boring like hell. Yes, ffxi's bard war uber-useful, but ultra-boring. What's fun in running like a dog doing nothing else but toss 2 buff ?

I understand what you mean, I will admit I never got too far into bard. Corsair looked fun, and seemed to sort of bridge a gap between total buff and some DPS assuming them had marksmanship leveled and bought / crafted bullets.

I just really don't like that every job is made up of two classes.

I never really had a problem with boring. I enjoyed playing as a DPS at times, but I was a main healer for years and thats just how it was. Every job can be boring if you just break it down. I mean, in a good merit I was haste x5, protect, shell, refresh and a cure here and there.

I feel like every job we have currently, job's and classes just feel like "standard" ones. Non advanced jobs, the ones you can start with, and barely have to earn. Yes they have added an absolutely ton of great flavor to job's, its a good start and direction, but what I really miss is everyone truly looking unique and performing as such.

--edit:

I guess whats really bugging me when I look at the sea of people in Ul'dah is how non-spread out the jobs seem to be. Everyone seems to have WHM/BLM/WAR/DRG. I miss how much variety XI offered. You had so many options, you could be the lone dancer, or that one dark knight. I know more jobs will come and all, but as it stands, everyone has just leveled everything up and it just makes it look bland on the hole.
