New Tank - in Evercold

*Pull out double shields*


"I AM FCKING INVINCIBLE!!!!"

To play devil’s advocate, I’m still not 100% sure that we will get a norse inspired job. Yes, every expansion we have gotten jobs from the regions we go to in the main story…except Shadowbringers. Since we went to a reflection in ShB they couldn’t have the new jobs originate from there due to story reasons, and we’re once again going to a reflection. So I wouldn’t be at all surprised if once again the new jobs have nothing to do with the norse themed Fourth.

That being said, just because the new jobs can’t be from the Fourth lore wise, doesn’t mean one or both couldn’t be norse themed. My understanding is that the Sea Wolf homeland of Aerslaent is supposed to be norse inspired, so we could get a sea wolf job and then still have a norse inspired job in the expansion.

It also fails for e.g. Dawntrail. Yes they tried to work it in there, but Viper is as japanese-coded as they could possibly do it so it naturally fits Stormblood not Dawntrail, being the near-archetypical anime dude-DWing-swords type. Picto meanwhile exemplified absolutely nothing about the areas we're in, and in fact its specific mix of colours fit the previous expansion more than anything else, particularly around Radz as they used a lot of primary strong colours and mixes between them.

They can say the jobs are from that region, but by that logic they could add a Turali royal guard as the trainer for the new shield+mace job, and just place him in Evercold because he randomly got drawn into the portal with us and tuhdaaaaah, lore explanation.

I mean sure, there isn’t anything stereotypically “native american” about Viper. But they wrote the lore for the job as being a fighting style developed by monster hunters in Tural, so that’s what Viper is. I see no reason to interpret Viper as anything other than a Turali job.

As for Pictomancer, ya, it has nothing to do with anything in Dawntrail. And as much as I liked the job quests, I do wish they were a little more integrated into some culture in the world.

But I think we’re both agreeing on the same thing, which is that the new jobs aren’t necessarily from the new regions we go to in an expansion. I just don’t want people to be disappointed if none of the new jobs are norse themed, because there’s certainly precedent for this happening.

ShB is the one expac that doesn't have jobs themed around the expansion we visit in the MSQ, however GNB is relevant to one of the pieces of side content: that being Bozja. DNC you're right on, though, since DNC is from Thavnair and we don't go there until EW. So, really, it mainly depends on what stuff we get to do during EC outside of the MSQ, since one of the jobs (or both) could get tied in with side content regions we (re)visit.

Edit: DT as well with PCT, but that's because they actively refused to tie it to any location, just saying that Archon Relm invented it, which I guess potentially could tie it to Sharlayan, but also not really.

I know that, but specifically in the context of FF14, PCT isn't really tied down to any place and just references Relm by it being made by Archon Relm. That's really all there was to that, since a lot of other jobs are tied to places we actively visit during expansions. See DRK, AST and MCH being all from Ishgard for Heavensward, SAM and RDM being tied to Hingashi and Gyr Abania respectively for Stormblood, GNB being tied to Bozja for Shadowbringers (again, DNC is an odd duck here), RPR and SGE being tied to Garlemald and Sharlayan respectively for Endwalker and VPR being tied to Tural for Dawntrail.

Now that, I'm down for. It really just depends on whether they care to tie it into a region we are going towards in the expac (likely for side content, since I'd imagine the MSQ completely takes place on the Fourth), but I'm definitely down for an elemental themed tank with a shield. Mystic Knight is still my biggest want for the game, so getting something close? Yes please c:
