What is Final Fantasy XIV : A Realm Reborn?
Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn is the "re-launch" version of the September 2010 Launched MMORPG, which was an uber and epic failure of a MMORPG. Despite being known as the worst launched MMORPG, they have admitted at fault, apologize and reshuffle the Development Team, with a brand new Director, Naoki Yoshida or known as Yoshi-P. Thus the first Final Fantasy XIV is reknown as Version 1.x. During his duration of overseeing and responsible to fix the mess that the old Development Team produce, SquareEnix CEO Yoichi Wada (Now former CEO) announce that the game will be free till it is fixed. So it begun the day where true fans of the game sticking to the game like glue and await the miracle patch that we thought it will come. The change to the game begin to see some significant enjoyment up to patch 1.21 where they announce that they are reinstating the Pay 2 Play for a the period of time, also announce... the version 2.0, where the whole game is being rebuild and was said to have already begun prior to patch 1.16. Meaning that they were doing Parallel Development where there not only keep updating the 1.X servers with Contents but also secretly building a whole new client, new engine behind our backs! The best thing about it that we are able to see the change that were made in 1.0, the storyline that lead to the epic ending of the server shutting down. And long story short. Here we are now.. entering the new age of A Realm Reborn.

In the Armoury System, changing your adventuring style—or class—is as simple as changing what you hold in your hand.
Each class is capable of performing unique actions which are learned as you gain experience and your level rises. Furthermore, achieving a certain level of mastery in multiple classes will unlock jobs, which feature even greater specialization.
Classes are suited to those who desire versatility, as they allow the use of actions that belong to other disciplines. In contrast, jobs grant access to exclusive actions and are ideal for situations that demand well-defined roles. Which fighting style you adopt is entirely up to you.
Classes System
Eorzea is home to myriad disciplines─professions that adventurers can take up. So as to be better prepared to brave the wilds, all adventurers begin their journey as either a Disciple of War—a master of arms who lives for the call of battle—or a Disciple of Magic—an erudite researcher of all things esoteric.
Experienced adventurers can take up other martial classes to diversify their skills. If you seek more peaceful pursuits, you may consider becoming a Disciple of the Land—one who gathers and harvests Eorzea’s natural resources—or a Disciple of the Hand—one who uses these resources to craft wares and turn a profit.
Jobs System
Jobs refer to those martial paths that thrived in former times but have since fallen into disuse. Recent developments, however, have occasioned something of a revival in their popularity.
By achieving sufficient mastery in a certain class, adventurers will be able to begin undertaking the mantle of a related job. For instance, gladiators may rise up as paladins, stout swordsmen who shield comrades from harm; thaumaturges may aspire to become black mages, masters of offensive magic; while conjurers may find a new calling as white mages, masters of healing.
The foremost appeal of jobs is the unparalleled degree of specialization they offer. Their potential is best realized in party situations, where having well-defined roles is the key to success. There can be no doubt that jobs shine the brightest in the company of others.
