Hmmm....you make a good point there. However, you can have jobs/classes without enforcing the Job System.

I'm all about old school FFs, but I also like the new styles as well. The problem with having a constant or even somewhat constant flow of FFIX's is that it will become just that, old school. People will get tired of playing them, sales will go down, CEOs will be mad. So they have to mix it up, keep everyone on their toes. FFX-2 brought back the Job System, and I hear FFXII is going to be FFT-ish. They can't just keep doing them the same way everytime, because, well, it gets old.
