Now, I didn't play much of beta. I'll put that up front. I was a long time FFXI player and moved on for a bit and tried this in 1.0 and just lost interest badly. I'm back with release and have played pretty avidly since.

One thing I was disappointed on was when I unlocked dragoon, it just didn't feel like I unlocked a job. Now I know I'm comparing FFXI too much here, and to be fair I love that game still. But when you really just unlock a class "mask" based on the crystal you hold, does that really feel like you are your new job? I'm only 32 so I'm sure things are different at 50, but I kinda liked the idea of unlocking a job and then leveling it with it's own unique abilities and feel. Does anyone else feel this way?

This isn't a flame thread just wondering if people feel the same or I'm just being too nostalgic in hopes of a FFXI-2 lol.
