That's cool, it just that the badge thingie seemed kinda vague to me.
Druckbare Version
I'm not sure why there are people desperately trying to claim this does not mean we're getting new classes when YoshiP himself explicitly confirmed their existence in the last live letter and said they would be announced at E3... Hell he even said we'd see them shortly after 2.3 which would indicate 2.4 at the latest.
I'm more interested in the mention of 'new areas'. We've speculated for a while that Shiva is going to need a new region added specifically for her since there's nothing in the game related to her yet (not even a tribe). That new gate in Rev Toll is a pretty big hint I think. :P
Lies. Photo-shopped. Have you no compassion?!?
My thought:
Musketeer > Chemist (healer) & Corsair (dps)
Thief > Ninja (dps) & Samurai (tank)
We don't know for sure if we're even getting new jobs at this time, we were only told about new classes so far. Even at launch we were only supposed to get Arcanist with SMN coming in 2.1. They apparently were ahead of schedule because not only did we get SMN at launch, but we got SCH too which came as a huge surprise (well... it was leaked info before that Yoshida himself said he was very disappointed with). What I'm getting at is that We have confirmed 2 new classes, HOWEVER based on how ahead/behind schedule SE is, we may get anywhere from 0 to 4 jobs, which is why I said "X jobs" in my post
Oh also, the classes don't have to have anything to do with Final Fantasy. As far as I know there's no Thaumaturge, Gladiator or Arcanist names in FF yet. It's the jobs that are made to be iconic.
I totally forgot about this, but to be fair he is an apprentice of the ALC guild so he'd know a thing or 2 about potions. Still not ruling out the possibilities of potion-like abilities to be used by a new class/job
Wouldn't make sense since SAM is an iconic Great Katana class (both in Final Fantasy and history itself) and Thief/Ninja as shown by Thancred and Yugiri are dual dagger wielding classes/jobs.
