Thread: What new classes would you like to see in FFXIV?

    You can change classes in passive mode, anywhere in the world.

    Also thought I'd add again; you can use any job abilities that you've learnt from previous job leveling. You also have two types of levels; physical and weapon (job).

    What's passive mode? Does that mean you can only change weapons (jobs) outside of battle?

    Depends how much they are going to be changing.

    Basically you have passive and active mode. Active is for battle and passive is for out of battle. You can freely change between either mode whenever.

    I suggest looking at Eorzeapedia and FFXIV Core, as there's a lot of this information that has been out there for a long time.

    If I recall correctly, to enter active mode is to draw your weapon, and to enter passive mode is to put it away. With this in mind, I imagine that changing to passive mode to switch job mid-battle would be doable but not advisable as it could lead to you getting pretty badly hurt. Sort of like giving the enemy a few free hits?

    But then, I can't check Eozepedia at work so I can't verify that.

    Someone .dat mined the alpha client and found this. Not sure if it is legit, but something interesting to look at and hope for:

    Oooh interesting. Assassin wielding 'dark arts' sounds pretty cool.
