Marauder: WAR (tank) DKN (dps)

The subclasses needed will change. for the second job...

Anyone care to contribute for the rest?

Ninja, Tank, No

Considering Dark Knights in previous incarnations of Final Fantasy has wielded different weapons depending on the game entry (Usually a Great Sword, Scythe, or Great Axe), Maurader will probably be the base job for DRK. They will probably have a job specific ability that is the exact opposite of Warrior's Definace, increasing attack power at the cost of health or defense. They may also get abilities that lower enmity (since marauder generates a lot of enmity), and, since Marauder has bloodbath, Storm's Path and Mercy Stroke, change these to take health from the DRK and inflict it as damage on the target.

The most likely next CLASS with either be the musketeer that Yoshi has actually talked about conceptually, or a class that will grow into a thief (Called pickpocket or something similar). Of course they can also add jobs without adding classes, though this brings up other questions about how people are going to learn to play the new jobs.

Evade based tank with shadow cast or Jutsus!
Yes please.

Also, the idea of having a

Soldier class (2h swords) with: Drk (soldier + thmt) and Samurai (tank) (soldier + pugilist)

Would be great...

bottom line, give me a 2h dps class!!!

Dragoon is a 2H dps class

Ninja shouldnt be a tank. OP could be right.

DPS based axe class stemming for MRD would be called Berzerker obviously. The job does exist ya know.

No need to be a heavy armor dps.rather an all out dps job.our producers r crazy with ff 7 so it wouldnt surprise me if we see soldier class.anw se u have my money gimme buster sword now :p

Thm / Cnj- Twin Mage - Black
Cnj / Thm - Twin Mage - White.

Make it so.

I'd be more inclined to see this:

Pugilist: Monk (dps), Berserker (tank)
Lancer: Dragoon (DPS), Samurai (tank)
Gladiator: Paladin (tank), Dark Knight (DPS)
Marauder: Warrior (tank), Viking (DPS)
Archer: Bard (DPS)
Musketeer: Corsair (DPS)
Villain: Ninja (DPS)
Thaumaturge: Black Mage (DPS), Time Mage (healer)
Conjurer: White Mage (healer), Geomancer (DPS)
Arcanist: Scholar (healer), Summoner (DPS)

Tanks (4): Paladin, Warrior, Samurai, Berserker
Healers (3): White Mage, Scholar, Time Mage
Damagers (10): Ninja, Corsair, Bard, Viking, Black Mage, Dragoon, Monk, Dark Knight, Summoner, Geomancer

Missing out on 1 healing type role but that's what I'd like

The only thing about this list I would change is the placement of berzerker and samurai. Ive never seen that class use anything but an axe, and if Square makes Samurai use spears there would be an unproar. Monk could easily split into blackbelt as an evade tank with a few added skills.
