Mimes

[Wibbly]

I think this is very interesting, would have to be some limitation to it though. To better organize it:

[Job Ability]
Mimic Ability
LV.5 Mime
Duration: Instant Recast: 1:00
Mimics the most recent(or as an alternate option; One of the 3 most recent) Job Abilities performed by selected target.


[Job Ability]
Mimic Cast
LV.15 Mime
Duration: Instant Recast: 1:00
Mimics the most recent(or as an alternate option; One of the 3 most recent) Magic Spell performed by selected target.

[Job Ability]
Mimic Special
LV.30 Mime
Duration: Instant Recast: 2:00
Mimics the most recent(or as an alternate option; One of the 3 most recent) TP Abilities performed by selected target.

[Job Ability]
Mimic Pet
LV.50 Mime
Duration: 3:00 Recast: 10:00
Mimics the most recent(or as an alternate option; One of the 3 most recent) Pet summoned by selected target.

[Job Ability]
Impersonation
LV.1 Mime
Duration: 5:00 Recast: 2:00:00
Allows you to gain full benefit of selected target.
{Example}Say can use on an HNM such as Fafnir. Your Character will change into a MiniFafnir and you will gain full access to all of it's traits, abilities, and special attacks for 5 minutes.

This requires more thinking, but this is a rough idea of how the job "Mime" could be made. Please leave feedback or feel free to discuss how to alter these examples. Thanks!

Already thought of the idea of mimicking a monster. Trouble being than you mimick Shinryu and use his powers and everything get's out of whack.

That's why I think the Impersonation trait would have to apply to party members, activate their two-hour ability and skills.
A mime without something to mimic mimics nothing! o-o

And let's not forget mimicking the buffs or states of whatever you're targeting. It would need serious thought just to toss abilities out there..

I wonder how a Mime burn would work...

...probably a whole lot of mimicry followed by death.

You know, this would actual be kinda fun. You would be able to FCB Manaburn etc using Mimes as long as you had at least 1 war or 1 blm. A complete all-around job that is dependant on the jobs of other members in the party. Solo would suck though. I have read bad idea after bad idea for new jobs, but this is one job I would actually be for. Not to mention it is a job that can add without having to add much data, since it would mimic all of the others.

Also, I'm a huge believer in the Gogo is Daryl theory. *High fives to other believers*

We all know Emperor Gesthal is Gogo

[KorPoni]

I know! o-o The 60 gear should be GOGO's getup, the 75 gear should be the sweatered getup in my link. It'd be hilariously awesome.

It's like... the job I was meant to play... D: that we're all meant to play...

Well, if you look at the FFT mime, the Artifact Armor would end up being a really plain outfit with a bag over their head.

One job I'd love to see added to XI would be MIMES. (You know, besides chemists, geomancers and time mages)


They'd be able to mimic the buffs of enemies and friends alike, and spread them among the party. they'd be able to mimic and repeat weapon skills or abilities used by the party.

I think their two hour (I think True/Ancient Mimicry) would be to fully mimic one person in the party by mimicing everything about them, stats, gear, wyvern or automoton, abilities and magics, skill levels... (All level appropriate) Then activating the two hour of that class for the duration. Dancer's Trance and dance skills. Corsair's Wild Card. Summoner's astral flow and a random avatar spell. Or, if without a party perhaps a random out of all of them. Or even more fitting, a Mime without something to mimic cannot use it.

As for the look, I think the classic still stands as a great example of how they would look:

The rest, is up to the imagination!

hey guess what, they already have that! its called blue mage! it copys monster abilities, and can mimic other jobs job traits via magic combonations! try it!

[Vortex]

Let's just ask them to change the game title to: Final Fantasy 11 Tactics.

Let's just ask them to change the game title to: Final Fantasy 11 Tactics.

Name one job in XI that doesn't have it's origins in Tactics.

SOMEONE is uncultured. <3 It isn't about mimicking only your enemies.

IT IS UNDERSTANDING LIFE ITSELF! *Explosion in background, dramatic wind*

Mimicking a monster has a name, and it's BLU.

Mimicking a monster has a name, and it's BLU.

no with blu you're mimicing enemy techniques, mime mimics party members techniques

[Dallas]

I understand the difference. Someone else did not.
