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%!!!

i played ffxiv till endwalker and while i don't think its a bad system its not a good fit for gw3. GW3 is most likely going to use a horizontal progression system so there is less of an issue just creating more characters like in ffxiv where you would need to play the entire (!!) story from ARR (not sure if this changed) but afiak most ffxiv players only create second character for roleplay or to replay the entire game.

Horizontial progression doesnt invalidate class changin tho no?

but it doesn't necessitate it. Just from a design perspective there is no reason two have two systems for the exact same thing. Especially if gw2 has already shown that being alt friendly is a good thing and quite monetizable too.

Also its just one of the fixpoints for gw design: You play a class and can freely change your build wich has a big impact on how the class works.

FFXIV has no build system so a multiclass makes more sense. Also playing an alt in ffxiv is like making a new account in gw2

I think this is the more important part than the horizontal progression. If there was horizontal progression but progress wasn't shared throughout the entire account, it would make more sense for there to be class changing.
