Final Fantasy XIV

FFXIV Armoury System

Final Fantasy XIV merges the ideas of jobs and crafts into a single Armoury system. The system works like this: when you equip a weapon or a tool, your role changes — and so to does your appearance, and the skills available to you.

The classes of the Armoury system are divided into four disciplines: you become a disciple of war, of magic, of the land or of the hand, depending on what you equip.

Using this system, the player’s skills are entirely dependant on the weapon that he or she is holding at any given time. Weapons can be changed at will, so players are able to change their role in the field. Character advancement is done based on weapon types, which in turn corresponds to certain roles.
