fun fact: There were no jobs when FFXIV 1.0 launched. They were added in patch 1.18 iirc. (When Yoshi-P took over)
Yeah I know, but that's what I'm referring to: why 1.0 tried to make an MMO out of classes that have not existed in the FF franchise (save for Archer) just seems strange in hindsight. What ties the FF metaseries together are the iterations of common aspects of the world and themes - the apeparance of jobs is a well established tradition in that respect, and particularly suited for use in an MMO
