just came up with a theory after reading several posts and playing different games. This thoery came from playing Aion .... its not that bad of a game....anyways

theres 5 Melee classes and only 2 Mage classes but....

its could be like ff11 where at a certain level you can do quests to unlock more jobs....

or my thoery is at a certain level you have to choose another path summit like

Conjurer

WHM type BLM Type

just a theory while i was bored and thinkin bout things i might get shot down easy or a couple people might agree at the momoent we have nothing else to go on lol =D

Would you be able to get both though? Because their main focus is letting you use everything and by putting that restriction there it sort of reverses that statement.

Although the theory comes from Aion for you, FFXI essentially offers the same idea. At level 30 you can unlock advanced jobs like Ninja, Paladin, Summoner, Puppetmaster, Bluemage and so on. They further develp the basic class roles into usually more complex and demanding gameplay. Keeping my Shadows, managing more Mana, controlling pets. However instead of, as you siggest developing <i>into</i> these roles you simply pick up the skill.s and styart from scratch. FFXIV, froma ll accounts will be a fact of keeping your physical level and progression your skill levels from the start when you activate them.\

I would bet money that we will have to quest for advanced job flags just like FFXIV and I love that. Work your butt off to be a PLD

from what i know from beta players you have points based on your skill level and you put down skills to use based on how many points you have. so most likely the healer will be a conjurer who has spent some time leveling thaumaturge to get all their buffs and heals and places them on the hot bar. this also begs the question how will the other core group roles play out. will tanks typically be gladiators with marauder skills splashed in ? what would control be, a thaumaturge with archer skills?
