They're reducing the price of the hymm from 10,000 to 250 so if that is still an issue... ..quit?

**Sho** · 2014-10-25 05:28

Imo, it might be something even totally unexpected.

I still go with Mediator (Orator), but now with this entire semi-reveal, it could be something else completely different.

Btw, I find it comedy that Yoshi-P bought that dude's batman shirt and incorporated it into his entire show. Yoshi-P, showman for all times.

Well if they're getting rid of classes I'm not sure how that answers my question.

My comment might have been confusing. I was only referring to DRK. DRK will be the first Job w/o class. They're not removing past classes.

**Skai** · 2014-10-25 05:32

They're probably going to leave classes in for the jobs we have now and from 3.0 on, every new jobs will be without a class.

**Alkar** · 2014-10-25 05:32

Oh I know that. However what's stopping them from removing classes altogether? What's the point in keeping Lancer and Dragoon separate (or any other class that isn't Arcanist) if they're never going to implement new jobs for them?

**Skai** · 2014-10-25 05:32

Maybe story?

**Alkar** · 2014-10-25 05:34

Yeah but that's not good enough...

Edit: The story can be preserved by upgrading Lancer to Dragoon, nothing would really change. Except for Arcanist obviously.

Just because they have the option to make new classless jobs doesn't mean every new job will not have a class.
Just means we now have some classes that branch and some that are straight forward.

How will it be presented in game though? You go to the guild, join to become lancer and at 30, quest into dragoon and stay as dragoon forever?

**Sho** · 2014-10-25 05:40

I don't even think they will go with the branching idea anymore. It's too limited.

**Woozer** · 2014-10-25 05:40

Honestly, as a SMN the Arcanist story really bothered me and never really made much sense. They shoehorn carbuncle into it and barely take two seconds to even try to justify it with the quests or story. I felt like the actual summoner story was interesting, but it could've been a lot better if they actually had more than like five quests to develop it. I would love nothing more than for them to just remove the entire class system together and just run with jobs like they should've just done in the 1.0 -> 2.0 shift. But alas, it probably won't happen.

Or they remove Lancer altogether and treat those 30 levels as Dragoon training. The story will clearly suffer from it and won't be as developed as DRK's I guess but it doesn't really matter. As it is the class system only makes sense for 1 of them (and even that's a stretch) and they're already moving away from it because it's way too limiting and creating completely new jobs from it is a pain. DRK is a tank just like PLD so they could've made it a secondary job, they didn't.
I suppose we'll see how Rogue>Ninja plays out but I assume those quests were already far into development when this decision was made for the expansion.

First thing I thought seeing gnath is

**Woozer** · 2014-10-25 06:06

I insantly thought of FFXII: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Urutan-Yensa

God I fucking loathed the Sandsea.

**Alkar** · 2014-10-25 06:28

Seems like a mix of Antica and Urutan-Yensa.
