So much character customization involved in V's system. Gotta love it.

The job system in Final Fantasy Tactics was great: plenty of customization with the ability to mix and match skillsets. Although FFV and FFX-2 had some nice flexibility as well.
I'd also like to mention even though i didnt like the esper/accesory system so much, i really liked the whole -each job gets its own character system-. Which is really what the VI poll should say, as the espers/ accesories dont determine class.
You do have a valid point, and I would fix it if I could...:cry:Quote:

I really love VIII system to bits. Sure, the system is as broken as hell, but because of that, it allowed you to focus on the storyline,rather then having to mico-manage your abilities every time you entr a new area.
I think a new take on FFII's system could be interesting. I mean, people complained, but it wasn't that bad, it allowed for finely tuned development, stopped button hammering (mainly) and I think it'd a breath of fresh air.
You know, outside of the the MP and HP differences, I never noticed a real difference in my stats for the characters. I always felt it was so minor its more of an after thought really... Guess that's me though ;)Quote:

From what i got from Weapon Ability System was the system in FFTA and i think FFT?
So it gets my vote
I vote for VIII system , Because I think it's cool and I am not much magic user so I prefer elemental and status attack to using elemental and status magic .
I'd say the job system in FFXI, but it's not a freakin option, so I'm going with FF5's job system.
Like story, I think gameplay system should be different in each FF, but I would definatley like to see an updated version of FFV's system (technically this means an updated version of FFT's system) in a game. Like maybe you could sacrifice some aspects of your primary job for support abilities from other jobs.
IX was the first to use the Weapon Ability System. FF Tactics used an uber improved version of the FFV Job Class system. Personally I dislike the Weapon Ability system the most cause I hate my party being completely restricted by my equipment. It was balanced in IX to a point but not in FFTA IMO.Quote:

Since most Westerner's got screwed out of FFXII International, I do agree that a new Job Class system is needed in the series. Sadly, I don't feel XIII is going to supply us with it.:cry:Quote:

I said VI, but I like the system that IX had. XII and X were okay, but could do with a little more improvement. It just makes each character a clone
