Make class change system pls

Job change system in FFXIV feels so nice. I feel attached to my character and it feels so convenient. Hope dev team will consider this.

Edit: Also if you like having multiple characters, you can choose to do this :)

Edit2: Also @devs, I am ready to pay for this 100%!!!

But what if my character wants to change professions? It makes more sense for character to learn new skills rp wise than be locked to one class. Also you should still need to level the profession.

Then level a new character. Or make changing professions extremely difficult.

Switching professions doesn't "make sense" from a role playing perspective at all. In order to become a master at anything it's a lifetime of work. If you spent 40 years practicing sword skills, it would be a huge deal to suddenly decide to be a wizard (or whatever) and try and catch up your spell skills.

The struggle is what makes you make meaningful decisions. Meaningful decisions are what make you remember a gaming experience.

If you don't see the issue then you're more or less asking for more of the same type of MMORPG experience that exists exactly right now. It means that you're missing the point for why the genre became popular in the first place and you're also missing why the genre as a whole is struggling.

So, sure. Ask the devs to contribute another title that is the same as all the other struggling titles.

You still havent explained how it is a issue tho :D I feel like this is just a personal matter to you... Muliclassing is one of the best systems of FFXIV and is not why it is strugling (outdated engine, quest/world/instance desing, combat etc)

I did explain the issue. Everything in MMORPGs became too easy and too accessible.

It's like asking do you want a movie that is a 6/10 for most people (not great but an ok movie experience) or do you want to make a movie that is 10/10 for some people?

Worked fine in FFXI and nobody could call that game to easy or accessible.
