Preparing for Battle/Job system

[snowstriker]

I know this might seem like a pointless thread, but is anyone else craving SOME sort of information on the job system so they know how to prepare and don't feel like they're wasting time?

Like, if the system works that you need to be a certain rank in a class to specialize in a job, I wanna know what jobs match up with what classes so I don't feel like I'm wasting my time!

I guess this is just me being impatient

***Bumping this now that battle system bleuprints have been posted.

Now more than ever I'd like to have a preview of what classes can unlock what jobs so I can level the correct class to play my favorite job!

Of course we are, we're all pretty anxious to hear about it.

I don't see how you're wasting your time doing anything though. It's always been stated that no ranks will ever be reset for people so you won't lose any progress.

[Eekiki]

What you've built up are physical levels and weapon skill ranks. These will be used in conjunction with the job system, so no worries about your hard-earned EXP/SP going to waste.

I really want some info, but can wait.

Thanks for the replies, but I guess what I meant is: Let's say they release Dark Knight or Blue Mage or something as job specializations "within" certain armory classes. I'm leveling Lancer now because I find every other class completely boring. But the likelihood of Lancer getting a Dark Knight or Blue Mage class is probably slim to none. So I feel like I'm leveling the wrong class for FUTURE patches in regards to a possible job system.

Get what I mean?

I know it's all speculation till we hear about the system but yeah, still has be stressed for some reason

I'm doing the same thing except I want to be either a dragoon or a black mage. I've pretty much quit for the moment because I don't want to waste my time leveling the wrong class. That's why I wish Yoshi would give us a summary of how the new job system would work, sooner the better!

Not to state the obvious, but have you tried dabbling in thaumaturge, most jobs have the benefit of that even if you don't care to main the job, you can still adopt skills into the jobs that you do like. So its not a total waste.

I know but I think they are going to do away with the ability to have every job as your subjob so I'm not going to bother with leveling anything until we get some more info.

They are not making any major changes to the armoury system they already said that.

The Job system is just another system that helps you differenciate yourself from other players and their Weapon Class.

IE A Gladiator can be a Thief, Paladin, Dragoon, Warrior, Red Mage, etc.

Or a Thief can be a Gladiator, Pugilist, Lancer, Marauder etc.

It will be similar to a Job/Subjob system from XI except instead its a Job/Weaponclass system where your Job dictates your Role your weapon dictates how you perform it.
