Given how light and short should a lance be to be used effectively with one hand, you'd end up using basically a pointy sword.
Hey look, you're a paladin now!

Like some of you already said: We have branches to classes and they're called jobs. In future we will hopefully get more jobs per class. That's how it works in FFXIV and it is good that way. And the way how classes and jobs are levelled are fine too.

Costumizing classes and jobs and adding more jobs per class is the way to go. Especially make the difference between classes and jobs more noticable (and classes more useful).

i would be happy with the Jobs starting at level one instead of just an addendum to your class.

Sure, but then they'd need to redesign every job, and add 10 new skills to each. Otherwise nothing would really change; you'd just need to lv up *same class* again to 30, to learn any skill for it...That'd just be stupid time sink.

Hmm. I don't recall anyone complaining about it in FFXI. I might be alone on this one then.

Cause apparently time sink was the feature of the game, that everyone seemed to like about it ^^ which is why XIites complain on XIV, that everything is to fast
Jobs are progressions of base class anyways, so it seems weird, you'd be a weaker version of base class suddenly, just for the sake of leveling it up again. Would only make sense if Job used another weapon, or had it's own set of skills.

Nah, it was the journey I think we liked in ffxi, everything seemed epic because it did take time to get it done. And there were things you had to do, you couldn't just grind to lvl cap. Had to stop around lvl 15-20 to get your subjob items, had to stop around 23-25 to get the 3 keys to take the airship to Kazham (heck I made life long friends getting my keys), had to stop at lvl 30 to get the job you actually want to lvl. Always had to go back a get a few lvls for your SJ. Had to stop at 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 to do your lvl cap quests. It was an adventure just to get to lvl cap.
