Now... interestingly you can see Bard and Archer were originally different classes... or so it leaves us to believe.
But, as always take anything pre 2.0 with a grain of salt as it may have changed concept more then once ^^
I was always intrigued by that chart. They obviously aren't sticking to it now, but it's cool to see the ideas that the 1.0 team had back then.

If they had stuck with the classes only, the abilities might be a nightmare to balance. I don't think the job system was ever part of the original plan -- at least from what Yoshi-P said about the 1.0 team trying to be as different as possible from FFXI.

Makes you wonder why they chose the Vana'diel races if they were trying to make something so different...
