When I first heard about stigma, I thought the idea of having a plate wearing mage running around or a ranger using an elementalist pet might be pretty cool, but then I read this
interview which said that the stigma system was like the materia system FF7. It's kinda weird how he didn't mention the class mixing at all, I wonder if the class skill dealie is just something that's endgame that he didn't quite get to. :S
