The classes in the game right now are fairly bland. You have a few different classes that do melee damage, but the only real difference between them is the type of weapon they use. You can use abilities from other classes (of course, with some form of penalty) which would be like FFXI's support job system if the subs were the same level as the mains - which I personally do not like.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and while no opinion is "right" in the sense of things, I feel that the class system needs some serious work. This game does NOT feel like a Final Fantasy to me, and one thing that plays a major role in that is the departure the classes took. I bought this game because I've owned almost every Final Fantasy since I love the feel of the genre, and I find that the different classes are one of the things that detracts from that. I'm sure many others who are Final Fantasy fans might feel the same way.
