Preparing for Battle/Job system

[Kallera]

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.

Umm... well the only thing they've said is that they won't reset your levels IIRC but the system you are suggesting is not even close to what Yoshi-P said he was going to do in that. He said they were going to do a specialization system or make them advanced jobs.

Thats sounds pretty awful, this games class diversity is already so watered down they may as well all be the same class what you are suggesting would make classes even less specific.

If im a black mage I only want to be able to cast black magic, no more do I want to hear you can heal because you are a conjurer.

So what I would like to see is something like:-

CON - White Mage = Can only cast party buffs and healing magic
CON - Black Mage = Can only cast Destructive and DOT magic.

THM - Red Mage = Can only cast Healing and enfeebling magic
THM - Star Mage = Can only Cast Astral/Umbral Destruction and DOT magic.

This sounds more like what they will do.

His description is exactly what I was talking about *facepalm*

Class specialization, key word "class." I highly doubt you can be whatever job you want to be on any class,
Conjurer/dragoon here we go! Makes no sense.

Where exactly did you get this info from? Could you like the quote/article?

Sorry, Everything after the first line is speculation. The first line though was said multiple times by both Yoshida, Komoto and Tanaka.

Ah, gotchya. I'm foresee a similar system as well, but hadn't seen any confirmation. Would be great to see an outline of the new systems!
