Players need job/class combo info ASAP to have time to prepare.

Out of the choices we currently have maybe but MRD would be better suited for WAR. If MRD was DRK where is it's Scythe or G. Sword.

Maybe Botanist unlocks DRK O.O

This is why I think we will see them move away from who the class system as we know it currently works and make the classes stand on their own not defined by the weapon as they are now. Or maybe they will stay the same but the Job might unlock new weapon choices, who knows.

I'm sad... there's not gonna has summoner at the first release anyway

DRK had ok Great Axe skill too, but yes Warrior was better at that.

Botanist as DRK... maybe they went mad because they don't have grade 6 or higher nodes?

Yes I can see the story now, a bunch of renegade Botanists angry at not having Grade 6 nodes went emo and started to use there Scythes in battle to release the pent up anger they carried by not being able to harvest higher tier flowers ^^

Hell I'd just like to know! Throw us a bone SE damnit we've waiting this long.

I think it's about time they tell us. I haven't played in over a month because I don't want to waste my time leveling a class that leads to a job I don't want. If they would tell us which class lead to which job then I would start playing again and level whatever job leads to DRK, if that job is implemented. And we can speculate all day but it doesn't matter because none of it is confirmed unless SE says so, so far all we have is gladiator to paladin.

Well if they don't know, they don't know. They very well may not know the initial 1-class-1-job roster yet. It's going to be a tough call any way you cut it thanks to drk all but being confirmed (who gets it?) and thm throwing a wrench into the system (what is it really?)

If they know, it shouldn't be too hard to get the answer from Mr. Matsui. They like to keep him in a locked closet, but from his few words and demanding that Yoshi-P tellus certain things, sounds like he'd like to spill the beans too. There would be little point in holding that information for a big surprise. The big surprise could end up being a ragequit event. I know if either of those mages turn out to be white mage, which I really doubt will happen but who knows... people are going to drop it like a bad habit.

Can you imagine the rage if conjurer, the red-headed stepchild of magic, gets whm and thaumaturge, the broken big brother, gets blm for damage or rdm for haste and party benefits? There would be riots. Just pure insanity that we might as well get out of the way ASAP.

Whatever's gonna happen is going to happen. No point in delaying the reaction.

I'd like to see SE just go ahead and finish the intended classes from Limsa that never got done in time (each town was supposed to have 3 classes, limsa never got done), and go ahead and not only announce that those two classes are coming, but to announce what jobs they will become as well.

I'm thinking we'll see jobs at the end of August, but those two extra classes would be nice september or october additions.

Surely you jest.

They have actually done a good job. Yoshida's checkboxes are actually adhered to. Even with the usual Square Enix speak that lets them retrospectively fudge their release timing and say NUH UH IT WAS TECHNICALLY ON TIME...they're giving people heads up.

But this is just a heads up that once it leavs the dev table, it should go straight up here. Yoshida-approved to everyone knows in 48 hours or less, once they know those initial jobs, everyone should.

I think we got a long way to go in any event to even care right now.

Not so. These things are due to be introduced and in the game by the end of summer. We need all of summer to prepare if possible.
