New Job System Incoming!!! - But what does this mean??

[AlexiaKidd]

Somewhere on here someone said something along the lines of stripping away the abilities from the weapons and making it so with weapon ranks you're only learning weapon skills, and putting the abilities into the jobs that you'd need to rank to obtain. I can see how something such as "Ferocity" doesn't make sense to be a skill that someone learns by gaining experience with a polearm... Mesh them together the way physical rank and class rank are now. That sounds good.

It also sounds extremely similar to ffxi. Oops.

Yes that was me I also feel it is incredibly stupid how everything is tied to weapons. I want them separated. Weapons skill's learnt by weapon, Skill's, Traits and Abilities learnt by Job. If they do away with the Physical Level system and replace it with Job Level they could probably do it.

Also yes it is very similar to FFXI, which is what I want it to be ^^

No shit it's the same system. Everyone knows that. The problem is... that not everyone wants XI-2.

Which is why they should keep all the skills learned from Weapons and Job titles only give traits/stat bonuses/efficiency with skills equipped.

Surely, content can be balanced and designed better the more the developers can control us..

But a line must be drawn somewhere. How well balanced and designed content do we want?

I hope they consult with Tanaka on this new job system. I feel like he should be involved to preserve what's good about the current system.

Because he mentioned changes to the Armory system AND a job system I'm gonna assume the current CLASSES will stay and you will be able to choose JOBS within those CLASSES. This also makes sense lore-wise because each CLASS already has an established guild and lore in its city, so if they replaced CLASSES with JOBS they'd have to deal with lore and such too.

My 2 cents.
