I sort of wish players could only choose one job.

Class consolidation is what makes this game unique. They are going with 6 slots in AAR? That's more for RP and immersion I think. I have 3 from 1.00 and they each have a personality. It's less to do with their jobs, more to do with just playing them. I tend to define based on their craft though or their peace time vocation. What they would be if the world wasn't going to hell in a hand cart. If I were to request a uniqueness of character from Squenix, it might be to have us spec a certain crafting job. We could level them all but to have us decide one as our vocation.

well you have the option to create another character if you want u can get 1 class to lv50 and go create a new character and pick another job. Enix wont care if you do so you have the option there you dont want to do it is ur problem please put better threads!

exactly. they say they want to play that way, but i'm betting their main has multiple classes they play on it. this is just a thread made to get attention that serves no purpose other than to cause a stir.

If you want to have only one job, restrict Y O U R S E L F to only one job.

Doesn't work like that when the game forces you to level almost every other job for cross class abilities, to even play your class optimally.

better do it like thousand other MMorpgs? hell no!

then you have again your thousand anonymous twink chars to which you cant identify yourself anymore... cant believe that anyone is against a jobchange system... really..


its the best what FF14 offers. some people are insane ^^

That doesn't make any sense. Why would having an alt have anything to do with the identity of your main?

In having only one job, you could focus purely on building your character around that job, and excel at it without the distractions of having to level and learn other jobs. And if anything it would only serve to cater to your identity because people wouldn't always be asking you "do you have so-and-so job leveled?" you would be needed for the job YOU want to main. People would know you as Tonkra, the white mage.

And I'm not against it, I know why the game has the job changing feature and I'm glad it has it but in terms of immersion I don't like.

This is a good point. On a concept level alts don't take anything from your main character. Sure, on a gameplay level there are elements you'd have to do over on separate characters. I mean, if you don't care for any dimension of lolRP, then yeah switching hats and all that comes with it is win. When you become attached to your character concepts, switching hats goes entirely against what you write for your characters and can be a bit of an annoyance, especially when the game in questions is entirely niche-based.

We could swing this the other way though in terms of immersion.

In real life, I have many talents.
I'm a wizard in the kitchen, you name it I can bake it.
I can ride horses, play instruments and even a mean game of tennis.

Why does it ruin immersion to have many talents ingame too? o_o.
It would suck if my life was defined by one of the things I do well, hell I'd be stuck in the kitchen forever. (inb4 sexist 'well you shouldn't be out of it jokes' lol)

If anything I find it flattering to your character's prowess if they can master many things without being forced into one little pidgeonhole D:

As for changing hats or whatever and suddenly having a different skillset:

Do you ride horses with scuba gear on?

Do you bake cookies while wearing plate armor? D:

Dressing for the occasion never hurt !

You level up two class to a point that does not seem hard. Then spam content finder to get a seal then do the relic quest and get yourself a relic. Then do that 7 more time then you can level up other job on the same 8 char or make 8 more char on other world. It much more easy to level and do content in ffxiv then ffxi every was so i don't see the issue there.

But why does that sound like a waste of time when you can enjoy everything in one char? oh because it does sound pretty dumb. I dislike that in every wow-clone i every played that why i only level up 1 char because i don't see the point of level up other one just to get best armor for him when i have to do it again on other char.

While in FFXI/FFXIV i can get armor all at the same time for the few jobs i enjoy. In FFXI i only play as samurai then during my last few month i play monk and got him black belt. In FFXIV it was DRG,MNK,BLM and the only reason BLM was there due to the fact that players forced you to play a BLM for CC/AV it was that or whm or tank which i dislike. While doing that i could get Darklight and primal weps for all my jobs at the same time. Even work on getting relic for BLM,MNK,DRG.

I don't know why people like to pretty much start over each time to level a job but you could pretty much do that in FFXIV. Seeing how it not as hard to get things done as it was in FFXI. In FFXI you had to do COP,SKY just to do endgame in FFXIV we don't have that so you can go ahead and do it if you guys want.
