RIP Samurai DPS dream.

A Melee/Ranged magic hybrid with "high-speed positioning", eh? Interesting if it works.

Well that depends if SAM is even in this expansion. Also weird...he just moved to the next section without a t-shirt teaser or anything...

spiderman shirt!!!! wtf? 0.o

Oh, there is the T-shirt Teaser. Its spider-man. Puppetmaster?

RIP Sam 2016-2017

Spiderman??

*stumped*

GG Yoshi, you completely lost me w/ the Spiderman T-Shirt

He also mentioned the main color of the expansion is Red, so that may be another hint with the Spider-Man shirt. Or I'm over thinking.

Swimming and diving confirmed!!

Crawl = Doggie paddle lol?

Spider-Man: human who takes on the traits of a spider to fight

AKA Blue Mage

On Reddit they're saying either Puppetmaster or SAM because of Sam Raimi //also BLU as speculation
Swimming hype tho~

Oooooh, that's a good point. Didn't they mention blue mage during the last in game anniversary thing?

That was the theory I was on board with, but then someone pointed out that Spiderman was played by (among others) Sam Raimi.

Now I can't get Sam Raimi = SAMURAI out of my head.

No idea since he also made the point of hint at the red but I'm possibly just going insane 8D

Time for Blitzball

My friend told me "Spiders dance along the web" is a saying... which could hint to Dancer. FFS Yoshi, you've stumped us all.

WOOOOO UNDERWATER EXPLORATION!

I AM SO EXCITE!

I dunno, when I think of Spiderman I think of Acrobatics so kinda lean on Dancer still.

But the "got bite and got his powers" does make more sense :( So maybe BLU, but what role tho? lol

Spider-Man was not played by Sam Raimi, Sam Raimi was the director of the movies Toby Mcguire was in as Spider-Man.

Well now I am beyond confused

Ah, must have read it wrong.

Theory still works, though.

I guess a Mega Man T-shirt would have been a dead giveaway for BLU.

OMEGA IS COME

They really like reaching for this stuff

I don't think it does, the shirt teases are normally rather subtle. We'll have to wait and see I guess. But it looks like they aren't showing more job stuff...sad panda.

Good job SE! You did one of the few things that could've caused me to reconsider my sub. Red Mage confirmed caster range dps... I don't see how this could ever even remotely still be a red mage.

Wow they must really hate 8-man no special people doing the story for that?

If it casts Black and White, it's Red. It even has a sword. EZ

KEITA AMAMIYA! AMAMIYA DOING BOSS DESIGNS! I'm fainting! FAINTING HARD!

Woah, so they're actually brining "the" ivalice to FFXIV outside of random mobs???

It's both melee and ranged caster, looks like you have to dance between close and mid range positions, but we know too little, i want it to be as close as possible to the oldshool RDM.

Final 24 man raid boss for SB maybe? Maybe?!

Watching the video Red Mages will be bouncing between long range Magic Attacks and short ranged Melee attacks to build up chain spells to unleash a finisher. They seem to have both a gap closer and a gap creator.

I feel for people who play this as their first FF

The new lamia-type beast tribe is called the Ananta. (as in "Ananta Shesha")
