FF Jobs not in FFXI

Re: FF Jobs not in FFXI

Why are character-specific jobs not valid as possible new jobs for FFXI?

Because they're character-specific. They represent uniqueness within a job. Aside from the fact that many character-specific "jobs" occur in games without a clean-cut job system.

You say it not a job, its a profession. Does that even make sense?

Do you consider Blacksmithing, Woodworking, Alchemy, and all the other crafting skills jobs? No, they're stuff you do for money. Same as being a "SOLDIER" in the FFVII universe. Sephiroth was a SOLDIER, he used a huge Katana. Cloud was a SOLDIER, he uses a 200 lb two-handed sword. And if S-E felt like it, there could've been a SOLDIER that uses a pole.

I don't think that should be any reason to make the job invalid. So, SE can just expand on the idea and evolve it a little. They've done it before... And, its not like they care if jobs are SIMILAR anyway. How about COR/BRD/DANCER, WAR/MNK/SAM, or DRG/PUP?

True, they can take the name of Soldier, and slap some abilities with it. But currently, it is not a job. There were hundreds of soldiers in FFVII, Cloud was only one. His abilities represented his character, not his job.

The only way to determine the actual classes of characters in games like FFVII with no real job systems is to look at their natural abilities. And with Cloud, he used special sword techniques and attacks...similar to Samurai.

(Off Topic)
Soldier: Maybe have the ability to increase TP to 100% (5 or 10 minute ability)
Dancer: The new healer (to seperate them from COR/BRD)
Vehicle Job/Engineer/Choco Knight?: A job that can summon a vehicle to use during a battle

(ripped from www.ffcompendium.com/ as soon as i remembered they have a big ass jobs section)

Yes Soldier is like fighter, though as FFTA had several Knight like classes they all are in that same old plain DD category.... but oh wait... yes that’s right, half the melee DD in FFXI could be classes as a fighter from FFI so why don't we get into semantics!

Re: FF Jobs not in FFXI

Bam! LOL. So, any jobs we missed on that site?

Re: FF Jobs not in FFXI

A few probably, I'm looking it over, I realy should go have a shower though.

FFTA i think has every job you could call a FF job, but did it have Dancer and Gambler? I realy can;t remember. I think only a few jobs wern;t included.

I should knowe they on that website class WAR as a KNIGHT not a FIGHTER, and Soldier was classed in Fighter

Re: FF Jobs not in FFXI

Chocobo Knight is lame since it's just a normal Paladin on a chocobo. Even if it weren't, what's the point of the chocobo?

That aside, Squire shouldn't even be on that list. It's a gimp job - it's a noob fighter. It's not supposed to be good or on par with all the others. Hell, it's even below the other job you get at the beginning of FFT (Chemist.) And Holy Knight = Paladin.
