Concern about "Branching Classes"

[Alerith]

lol. But if its anything like 1.0 you can enter the instance and change job. so just doing the job quest storyline means nothing about learning your job. And I understand what everybody is saying about this class/job branching stuff. and I think its nice and its new. Im just saying what I like. And I like the idea of lvling your job and partying. ( Old School) starting from lvl 1 lol that's Just Me. Not a fan of having a 1 lvl 50 that branches into 2 jobs and I lvl 1 class and get 3 50's that's if it even like that in the game. everybody got their likes and don't likes about any game. this is just one of mine. Im old school all about lvling your job from 1-?? and learning your job. Like I said its just me and what I like. lol

Im stuck in my FFXI way that's all lol

I really don't think you get it. There is no point to leveling a job from level 1. The difference between Gladiator and Paladin for example, isn't big enough to mean you should level Paladin from level 1.

In fact, if you got Gladiator and Conjurer to a certain level and unlocked Paladin, leveling it from level 1 would be exactly like leveling Gladiator all over again, and you would learn nothing new. When you finally got to level 30, you would get your first actual Paladin ability, which didn't require you to start from level 1. It doesn't even mean you should start from level 30. It's one new ability at that level.

You say you get it, but I really don't think you do. You're still saying you want to level the job from level 1 when the job doesn't have anything new for you to learn at level 1.

OMG! I understand it. It is a skill tree. One is a healing and the other is attacking. (talking about smn and sch. now)Arc is more for soloing and the smn and sch is more party types. Its a skill tree. like WoW, Rift, and GW2 I understand. I also understand that gld and pld are not that different. what im try to say overall is that when they bring in new jobs I like for them to do it like they did arc/smn/sch. to where you play it from 1. and not branch it off of anything else or its a job on its own and no classes like in FFXI. and when you unlock the job you start from one. Because its not branching off of anything.

That's been the main distinction between classes and jobs.. classes = solo play while jobs = party play, roughly.

Sort of skill tree sort of not.. it'd be a very stripped down tree. ^^;
