I love it & think it's amazing, quite frankly. It gives you the opportunity to change & customize your favorites' stats/appearance. Skill-fishing is fun too, since you can make some creative combinations with it. Characters that're mediocre in their base class are no longer doomed to failure. Want to make gimped characters like Odin better? Turn him into a Samurai! Want an archer in Conquest? Make Mozu into one! Want to experiment & see how a character would do in another class, or just how cool they'd look? You can! It's fun, brings diversity to the game, & adds replayability, as others have said. Fates' iteration of the reclass system even gives marriage a purpose other than shipping, allowing you to put your favorite characters in classes better suited for their inherent stats. I think the "it takes away from their uniqueness" argument is absurd... They're still characters with a name, appearance, personality, & voice. Even then, you can just put them back into their "canon" classline after spending time in another class if it bothers you so much. Don't like the stat advantages of reclassing? Ok, then DON'T DO IT. Nobody's forcing you to play the game in a way you don't want to. You can choose for yourself. That's the best part about it, it's optional. Completely avoidable. No need to take away a choice which others love just because a few don't like it.
