I dont see why ppl say using a FFT system would mean that the "basic" classes we have now would be left behind......

if as a Black Mage (or whatever) i am a specialist, i can only use "Black magic", a White Mage can only use "White Magic", but as a CON i can use both, just not as well. So for low man stuff (like groups of 4) might it not be best to have someone doing damage and healing instead of just a healer or DD? Say im running a group dungeon or instance, that doesnt really require a fully dedicated healer (bc my PLD tank can heal himself, and i have a MRD that can use bloodbath to regen his HP) so i could run as a WHM and sit on my thumb inbetween heals or i could run as a CON and throw some tier III nukes or something.

can just bc Black mage or White mage becomes an advanced job, does not mean that CON cant get a new identity with the implementation of the "FFT" system..... they could get some class-specific items/abilities that make them unique as well, specialization =/= better, just different people need to remember that
