Concern about "Branching Classes"

[Volsung]

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

If a job was different enough from a base class to warrant leveling all over again, I'd agree with you. Like back in the old ragnarok online days after you leveled up thf, you leveld up assassin.

I know you understand so I think we'll just have to disagree here. I'm ok with a job being a more focused role of a class, and letting a class have maybe 2 roles. It lets you fit into a party that much easier imho. They'll always be adding more base classes btw, dont think we'll never have other things to level from 1

lol yea I just really trying to say over all from multiple post lol that if they do come out with a new job to do it like they did arc/smn/sch and not branch it off of anything we have already lvl up. so we can enjoy the new class and not alrdy have it at lvl 50. that's really what I was just trying to say. as you can see im not really good at wording or explaining things ^^; lol

To make it simple, what you want is new classes, and lots of them. I believe we all want that in the end. But you want jobs to be classes too, and that's just not something they want to do in this game, for better or worse. Jobs, for lack of a better way of putting it, are just equipping a piece of gear that gives you special abilities. Kind of like a relic weapon/mythic weapon/empyrean weapon from FFXI, you got your special weaponskills, but you were still playing the same way as before. A Paladin is still a Gladiator at it's core, most of your abilities come from it after all. But your gladiator has a nice shiny toy that made him all boss at tanking at specific times (Like an Aegis).

Quite honestly I would have preferred it be 1 job per class too, because then they would have had to add even more classes instead of just tacking on jobs, but Que Sera, Sera~
