They specifically stated in Vegas that they're doing Classes to have two roles via Jobs like ACN, and it wasn't a special case. Not buying it till there is citation on it, and unless it was post Vegas Fan Fest, that live streamed panel trumps the information, sorry. =/(12-26-2014, 04:17 PM)Darkfae Wrote: Greetings, all.They actually stated that the current classes were not going away, but that there would be no future classes. Yoshida said back during the development of 2.0 that he didn't like the Class to Job transition and if he could he would have removed classes entirely. The reason we have ROG/NIN is probably because they started development on it pretty early on (considering how long ago Yugiri was revealed initially), and the decision to switch to their original idea for classless jobs probably came too late in its development to change it.
I updated my Heavensward Keynote Gallery with info from the Tokyo Fan Fest. That link goes right to where it starts. I skipped getting the repeat panels. Some of the slides I didn't get because they cut away way to fast to get them.
As for the whole Classless Job stones, here's my prediction on that, based on one of the panels that was streamed from the Vegas Fan Fest: we are not entirely losing the Class coupled with Jobs system. I believe that how they will run it is that there will be "Limited Edition Jobs" they bring out in this fashion, likely with expansions, that have no classes. These will likely be Jobs that just are too unique to have a base Class and second Job type, or just Jobs they don't really feel like having be dualistic because they want them to be iconic as "Limited Editions".
They will continue to release Class coupled Jobs like Rogue in patches, and add in the additional Jobs for current Classes, because they stated that in the panel in Vegas. I don't think they're doing away with the system because of this in depth talk they had at the Fan Fest. It would be rather odd for them to do so.
Just my 2 gil on it. Enjoy the slide gallery!
I can't find a citation for this, but I also recall him stating at one point that ACN was a special case and no other class would get the dual job thing. Personally I would much rather they eliminate classes entirely, because after 30 they are no longer really viable to use except under very rare circumstances.
