Job Leveling / Separate Idenity

[Shougun]

I would prefer the old method, where you had to purchase your spell scrolls in a shop, or get them via quest. I loved going to the FF11 shop to buy new spells and see which spells I could buy on which levels.

I think you can do that either way (for classes and jobs) :P


This system is more then just getting new abilities though its about changing old abilities and giving a large amount of freedom to the devs to follow a tight thematic view of each job rather then having the classes stifle the job (imo, which is why I and at least most people I see dislike the current system).

@Shougun ya i understand what you mean but at the end not even half of the spells unlock would be used. People would find the best setup and only use that too SE update then they make a new set up. That my point i love for a system like that but it just going to be end up being pointless no one going to use it to the fullest.

There is always maxing, but giving more options particularly weapons and making all stats useful will add more max options. You'll never escape maxing, but you can make many fun maxing options.

This system is just a way to stem away from classes and letting jobs logically break away. A, the leveling system is different giving to the idea they are different, B, its jobs / classes so we know they are different, C, the leveling system provides ways to modify farther then a normal system (auto leveling) allows.

So its more like a suggestion to give more tools to the dev to get away from being locked into classes. Since I dont play FF games for the armory I honestly give two shits about the armory lol - I love jobs and I will be sad to see Jobs stifled in their natural creativity and thematic views because of the armory system (classes).

But I understand your fear of maxing and not getting to play the fun style you like.
