Yes, the Bravely Default class was a substitute for the Blue Mage class there.

You may be surprised to learn that vampires have had a rich history before recent films and tv series made them stock romance characters. That history includes literary classics and video games. In fact a vampire worked as an important storyline boss in Final Fantasy (1987) and female vampires turned up as enemies in Final Fantasy II (1988) and IV (1991).

The original vampire diaries book series began in 1991, two months after the release of FFIV and the tv series began airing in 2009.

So what's your point?

I dont think it should be a race neither a class, it should be a permenent buff gaind by doing a sidequest line or something for vamparism and to remove the buff one should do another quest for removing it or talking to a npc for services on vamparism

samurai is next in my opinion

sounds like so much fun i'm all for it not my cup of tea i'm a lightning master but they are so cool in elder scrolls online

Here's why this won't work, having your HP lower to make your skills hit harder won't work. Have a SCH healer? Eos/Selene is going to absolutely ruin your dps.
Aspected Helios, Medica II, any aoe heals going out is going to screw you over.

There was a blood mage in Vanguard... it was actually fun.

You obviously don't know how Souleater works then.

Only one Genome Ability relies on your HP lower...

Forsaken World made the vampire class kinda great, the cross weapon and all.

no thanks. I rather want to see blue mage, beast master, red mage, dancer, puppet master, samurai (YEAH) before anything. Also, Vampire doesn't seems go well with final fantasy. DRK is pretty much as close as it can get.

I'm impressed by how much thought you put into this.....

That being said.................



No.

Vampire would be a race, not a class or job.

And no, we do not need this in the game. It would stick out like a sore thumb given FF's lore. Plenty of FF races to draw from.

actually vampire is a class from bravely default, it's the one remplacing the blue mage, that said. i dunno...

Sounds like a lot of people missed out on bravely default, what a shame, its a great game!

Yeah, but its not a FF game. If we are gonna start throwing the doors open to stuff from non-FF SE games then thats a big can of worms. An awesome can of worms, but big.

Its more a "FF game" than some in the main number series :x just cause it doesnt have
FF in its title means very little.

I hope they keep thinking outside the box for jobs. thats how we get awesome fun stuff
and new jobs into the series.

At some point in FFXIV's life, I'm expecting this fellow to show up. His race is 'Vampyr' (yes, that's a y) in FFXI and most of his attacks are what you'd expect of a vampire. One of which actually charms players as well as turn them into bats.

In FFXIV's world, I can't see Vampire being a Job, but rather a higher ranked species of voidsent... or a part of the Spoken races like the siren, tonberry, etc (Beastmen are a part of this, but I focused on the two that have traits vampires have. The charm from sirens and the "disease" of tonberrys).

Look guys, the full title of the game is Bravely Default: Flying Fairy (Where the Fairy Flies). It has FF in the name. It's a spinoff (Spiritual Successor) to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light. It's a FF game.

By that logic, Fallen, that would remove Bravely Second: End Layer from being a Final Fantasy game (yes, I'm being pedantic).

The two F words are also the only words I can think of that can work well together. I can not be any more vague.

I'm going to continue to believe that if vampires were in FFXIV, they would either be a Voidsent race OR a spoken race (like the siren and tonberry).

Interesting, but I don't think a Vampire Job will see the light of day. <cough>

So very much this. Bravely Default was SE's throwback to the older FF games and it's fantastic. It's not a perfect game by any means, it has more than a few flaws in places, but it "feels" like more of a Final Fantasy than a lot of the games in the series. It's definitely in my top 5 of all the RPG's I've played, but I still don't think any RPG will top Chrono Trigger, my favorite RPG and favorite game of all time. ;)

OP, I appreciate you taking the time out to make present your ideas in a well thought-out post. I do like the job idea... but, unfortunately, a job called "Vampire" doesn't feel like a good fit for this game. Your ideas can work for Blue Mage, though.

If you replace the Whip weapon with a Fork, and you replace anything referencing "blood" to "Gourmand", you basically get Blue Mage from Final Fantasy 9: http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/B..._Fantasy_IX%29

This is what that title's particular Blue Mage looks like (cosply pic, not mine, but accurate):

Blue Mage in Final Fantasy 9 did not regain HP from eating enemies... so those type of abilities you presented may need to change... but overall your main idea is still in tact.

Expect we already have the Valerian equipment, which is based off of Vagrant Story (which isn't a Final Fantasy but is considered part of the Ivalice Alliance).
We're also getting Lord VerMinion, which is a playful pun on SE's cardgame, Lord Vermillion. That's an FF either (even though it does have allusions to the series in it).
To add even more, Rowena even mentions "Flying Faires" in a conversation, which refers to Bravely Default's Japanese name, Bravely Default: Flying Fairy.

And what is this can of worms that will open? Old Squaresoft and Enix games being put in the limelight? Oh-no, the horror! D:
Fans are going to demand their favorite non-FF games get some recognition? They're already doing it and are probably going to continue doing that.
