Preparing for Battle/Job system

[Cairdeas]

I just can't understand why anyone would want to play a white mage with an axe, you are asking them to destroy the very foundation of the armoury system on a whimsical idea.

Surely we should be looking more towards the idea of restricting class armour (just look at the latest NM drops) and not a class that can equip any old thing.

This game require class diversity otherwise its just 8 people in a party smacking a monster to death.

Actually that idea supports the Armoury system more then restricting it. Right now I CAN play as a Marauder White Mage, it just doesn't give me that title when I do.

They can easily add in armor that is restricted to Jobs and not class, or vis versa.

So they could implement AF's from XI limited to the job they came from but any weapon class can be used with it as well. Which is how XI was in the first place. No job is tied to a certain weapon.
