How a Dual Spec System will affect releasing new Classes/Jobs. (Implementing SAM/NIN)

[Brightshadow]

Depending on what the job Red Mage gets. I'm waiting to see how that pans out, but my concern stems from the fact that if you're giving part of the magic fencer aspect of Red Mage to the Vagrant weapon class, I'm afraid to see what's left over in terms of design. Considering nukes and cure are covered by CON, enfeebles are in part from THM, and enspells and magic melee (Magic Sword, Spellblade, or however else you want to call it) would be covered by VNT, that kind of leaves Refresh... >.>

Edit: Maybe I misunderstood idea behind the dual system of class/job. Looking over the OP again, is the intention to distribute the main abilities through the weapon classes with the jobs enhancing those abilities depending the role of the job?

I think that SE will use the job system more like a Bonus title system rather then unlocking of skill type of system, but who knows. I like the idea heck I also had a idea for the aoe what if you needed to hit the mob to gain the enspell, but it would only be AOE by Vargard or w/e you call it.

Wow o_O' ! You got a lot to say

I didn't read everything sry.
So just a small post to support the dual weild request =)

I would love to use 2 pistols at a time.
Sadly at the beginning of the game in Limsa, they all use one gun only.
But in her description, it's saying that Merlwyb uses 2 guns, more than 2 guns, two relics
I wonder if this can be a hope for use, or if it's only to show her uniqueness.

Trying to appease to the Final Fantasy traditionalists is such a handicap.

Your character's class when equipped with no weapons is called "Adventurer" in the game.

Just throwing that out there.

I wouldn't expect those to be added the armory system is set up completely dofferent then the job system was. The system they put in will prob be similar to DCUO roll system where you select tank role, dd role, healer role or controler role.


I would highly suggest people stop assuming the ffxiv system was anything like ffxi system and they adding say red mage. They would have to rework the whole system to have such jobs.

We will most likely see fencer arcanist, stuff that is tied to weapon/ attack styles.

I don't really like the armory system that much either, but it can be revamped to be better, and if it really is a problem, a new system can be developed.

A lot of us enjoy the Armoury system, but we realize some players need the restricted role development which is why some of us really support the Job system being implemented ontop of the armoury system and not in replacement of.

To me the armoury system does not seem bad, it seems incomplete. Like the first step of an unfinished project
