I will explain what the job system is for those who never played Final Fantasy XI. Online. Each job has unique abilities that must be activated by the player in order to come into effect, similar to World of Warcraft’s class system. However, what differentiates World of Warcraft to FFXI Online is that players are able to change their jobs any time they wish inside their “Mog House”.
Even though SquareEnix hasn’t release the details on whether the new FFXIV will feature the same job system from FFXI, from what I can tell from last month’s E3 2009 release trailer, characters (and they amour they wear) resemble extremely close to the ones in FFXI. This led me to believe that the job system will be transferred over to FFXIV.
Feel free to leave your comments here about the job system.
If you haven’t seen the E3 2009 release trailer yet, here it is:
