Ask Your Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE, Part V!

[Zetsumei_Tsunarashi]

Can you describe your plans for the class/job system in the future ?

Will you always add a new class and a job that is associated with that class, or will you stop implementing new classes at some point and only add new jobs to existing classes ?

If the latter, how will you distinguish jobs from one another when their base classes are the same ? Won't they have mostly the same abilities ? What about weapons ? It would be silly to have 3 or 4 jobs that all use the same weapon.

If the former, then classes seem unnecessary. In 1.0, players already proved that jobs can be just as effective at soloing as classes can, if not more effective. So this justification for classes has become invalid. How will you validate the need for classes if they will inevitably upgrade to a more powerful job ?
