Is FFXIV hinting Berserker, Necromancer, and Chemist next expansion?

From those three I'd say Chemist is the most likely. Necro wouldn't really fit into current story as something we can spin as a goodguy job. Berserker is basically warrior, inkmage is sumoner, thief is rogue, so those are all out.

That said Geomancer was also "hinted" last xpac and that was a bust lol. I hope for a healer, don't really care much for the theme at this point lol

5.5 limited job please look forward to it XD.

I'm a little jelly of the real theif,necromancer. But God id kill for a real berserker .. not a warrior with a berserk trait.

Chemist is the only one that COULD work. We already have Warrior, so Berserker becomes something pointless. And Necromancy is not exactly something that would look nice on the Warrior of Light, at all.

I think that is why they won't add the Job. If I remember correctly, they even went with Rogue rather than the iconic Thief for the Class, because we can't have the good hero be a thief.

There are two other threads that talked about upcoming jobs, the second one below I went into a lot of reasoning..but to save you time of searching, this my relevant quote to the above question:

I am 99.9% sure the new jobs will not be any of those to appear in The Heroes Gauntlet. Rather, I thought it was a nod to “jobs you keep asking for that aren’t even on the table for consideration”.

Seemed like an inside joke to me.

If I was a betting man, I would say a healer seems a solid possibility for 6.0, but probably a name to avoid confusion with alCHEMIST like Apothecary, Herbalist or Medic.

Beyond that I would bet a Maiming or Scouting DPS. Either something very predictable like Mystic Knight based on past FF games..or a wildcard new job like dual handguns or some craziness.

Chemist as a Healer would be a reasonable way to go about it, though I'd prefer the name Salve-maker or Apothecary to distinguish from the crafters.

The other two just seemed like fanservice. Marauder already has Berserk (or was it Warrior?), so a full on Berserker class would be a touch redundant, especially with the way the Inner Beast is set up.

What you talking about theifs have been ff main heros for years.. and we can Literally play dark knight so...

Lock from ff6-zidane from ff9-rikku/yuffie, ff10-2 its a sphere. Vaan starts out as a basic theif.
