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

[Jinko]

Ok so with more thought heres what my ideal system would be

Jobs: You DO NOT level them seperately

Lets take Thm and Conj for example as what you can do.


At rank 1(in either) You unlock "Black Mage", and "White Mage", depending on which job you use, your get bonus's and penalties in the specialties of them.
At rank 20, you unlock "red mage" doing this allows you to get bonus's in everything, but not as high as if you stayed as a black or white mage job(you still have the option to switch at will)
At 50 you unlock X job(dont wanna think something up) which will have its own specializations tooe

I'm hoping its something like this also, I hope that say for example you specialise as a black mage you no longer can equip white mage spells at all.

As a drk I definitely tanked, depended on the mob, and it was only in merit parties and from lvl 15-25, but it could be done. And I'm back to ignoring people just trying to pick fights and being excited again.

It probably means they're going to scale up the size of the class names, to make them more prominent in menus and such.

A title system that has no major level grinding system is simple enough and requires no overbalancing in the long run because the bonuses it gave would be based on the skills you equipped which you would still learn from the weapons.

Not that I want to get involved in that other discussion but I think you guys are both overlooking the thing that made it overpowered/viable/etc.

Ninja sub.

Ninja sub.

Shhh, he may realize he's getting trolled.

*cough* I mean, paladin needed ninja sub to tank too anyways. Bad argument.

At least you admit it.

"need" is a big, big word my friend.

It's not a matter of arguing or opinion. Defense was useless in that game. You got hit like a truck and there was nothing you could do about it besides casting shadows.

So you say
The cases in which I needed utsusemi were extremely limited. Ninja sub (which was nothing else than a legalized exploit, and one of the main flaws of FFXI) doesn't make your main class a tank if it's not a tank to begin with. Otherwise everyone could be defined a tank.

Hopefully not "talent trees" that's for sure.

[Cairdeas]

Hopefully not "talent trees" that's for sure.

Please god I hope not, Talent Trees would not be necessary in a Armoury/Job System.

Now that something i can agree with you. Talent tree would kill the game for me.
