[dev1033] Class name changes

[CSLionheart]

Generally, I am in support of this. I would love to see some classic Final Fantasy classes in the mix. And, out of the two ideas Yoshi-P mentioned in his recent interview on eorzeapedia, I prefer the advanced job option, similar to FFXI. Make the classic FF jobs available when certain conditions are met. Possibly a Final Fantasy Tactics-like system. For example, in order to unlock Paladin, you need Gladiator 30 and Conjurer 20. Then maybe you would be able to flag a quest to finally unlock the job.

Edit: Sorry, I should have made this more clear, I'm not for changing the current class names to classic Final Fantasy class names. What I'm asking for is the addition of classic FF classes to the ones we have now.

[Gath]

Meh, i am sort of on a toss up of this, though, the familiarities help distinct what is similar to what from FFXI.

[Aramil]

I completely support advance classes and a FFT like system to unlock them. That would make the game more interesting imo. As for the names, it's too late for the current classes to change but making advanced classes with old ff names would help to bring a FF feeling to FFXIV.

[Madrox]

I am open to suggestions, just keep the names already in place as the base classes.

[Betelgeuzah]

There is no reason to toss out the existing classes, which have their own lore and naming system already.

If they don't replace the old with the 'new', bring it on.

I strongly support FFT-based advanced classes. The Paladin being 30 GLA 20 CON thing as mentioned.

Edit: And you could do a quest to unlock them after you reach that point.

[Grundy]

No, no, no, no NO!

A Marauder is not a warrior, a Conjurer is not a White Mage. If you want traditional classes, have them introduced additionally to the game in one of the two suggestions outlined in Letter V. Changing the current classes is not required and -I think- would be like an admission of defeat. I love that the Devs are listening to the community for game suggestions, but I also want them to retain the ability to think for themselves!

A thousand times THIS.

[Zamiel]

I agree with Advance Job idea with FFT system to unlock them.

Sorry, I titled this thread incorrectly. I am not in support of SE changing class names at all. Rather, I am interested in the implementation of classic FF classes in addition to what we have now. Sorry for the confusion.
