Let's have a bit of fun with Yoshi P shirt predictions.

Plus, there's a huge ingame clue. We have Soroban, a Kojin (VERY similar to TMNT to the point that you can even cosplay glam), who is the next Genbu (another turtle), and what job is associated with that Auspice? Geomancer.

The only thing that might attest against this idea is Krile herself if she's in fact this caster job's poster girl. Geomancers are Far Eastern in nature, and Krile is not, so it wouldn't be the most 'obvious' line of work for herself, unless we get something in 6.5/55 that clearly sets her up on this path.

I keep wondering whether the shirt didn't have much more meaning than 'TMNT are Ninjas -> Ninja uses Scouting Gear -> New Job uses Scouting Gear', and that's it.

Here is what the T-shirt might mean it:
- Time Mage aNd Thief (TMNT)
- Mayhem was a weapon name for Corsair in FFXI
- The Turtles are green for Green Mage
- All their names are those of artists so Pictomancer
- Ninjas vs Pirates, and they will use scouting gear, so Pirate
- There are 4 turtles so Beast Master
- They have different weapons and fight styles so Mime
- They are Mutants so Mutant
-One of the original creator's names sounds like Chemist (Kevin Eastman)

Hmm... How upset would people be if that shirt had nothing to do with FFXIV and was just him advertising a movie he planned to go see? XD

The first thing i honestly though, instead of all the non sense in this thread.

Same, a lot of the other theories feel to me like 'conclusions in search of evidence'. Like if someone really REALLY wanted GEO, they'd try and spin whatever the shirt was to fit GEO. Although, I thought the same about the SAM/Spiderman shirt, because I thought it couldn't possibly be anything deeper than a tease for BLU, because 'man attacked by spider learns how to do spider things' seemed so obvious to me. All the people saying it means SAM were on copium, I thought. More fool me, I guess. So while I can't discredit any outlandish theories for that same reason, I can say the ones that I feel are top 3 are 'TMNinjaT - Scouting gear', the 'renaissance painter names = Pictomancer/Artist', or some kind of tease that we're getting a BoStaff/Nunchucks user (though BoStaff is fairly similar in shape/size to DRG spears, so Nunchucks would stand out better I feel)

If it is Corsair, will they just come paired with a gun as the distinction, like the knives (though pairing up was determined not to be so distinct that they didn't need to excise all knifes from the sword weapon category), or is there something we're not seeing?

Can classify it as a different kind of sword, like Cutlasses, or Sabers. Technically RDM and SAM use 'swords' too, but they use them differently enough to qualify as a seperate fighting style. Throw in the potential for a flintlock pistol, ie a gameplay cadence similar to GNB's Continuation, where certain Saber GCDs would trigger Gun OGCDs, possibly

Oh... I just noticed that... YOU MAY HAVE CRACKED THE CODE! Next job: Melee Beast Master

adding playable kojin race

So Mr Beast is in the TMNT movie that Yoshi had on his shirt at Fanfest. Beastmaster confirmed.

It's Geomancer. It has to be or this is one hell of a coincidence: During the Stormblood questline, "The Four Lords" we learn a bit about Geomancy being in Doma from Soroban and Genbu who are both "turtles." You are later given a quest called "Tortoise in Time" that unlocks The Swallow's Compass dungeon which was built as a Geomancy temple.

Geomancer is already established in this game as being a healer class though; kinda the earthly cousin to the starry Astrologian. If they hadn’t already confirmed a caster, I may have thought Geomancer too. I’m wondering if we may get some sort of Druid-like caster dps though…

Crazy stretch but then so was the Spiderman shirt for Samurai:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - turtles

"I like turtles" live TV interview with "Zombie kid"

Zombies - undead summoned by Necromancers

Necromancer

A test of how far NA memes infiltrate JP social media.

This is too crazy, to the point that it only makes sense if you go out of your way just to find Necromancer.

And it has nothing to do with the Samurai shirt, cause that at least makes sense and it had a believable foundation. Showing a completely unrelated thing, like TMNT to make the connection to a dead meme is some impressive mental gymnastics.
I would sooner believe that it was hinting at Corsair because in FFXI one of the weapons the Corsairs used was named "Mayhem".

How humorless you are in a thread titled "Let's have a bit of fun".

And no, the Spiderman shirt didn't have a believable foundation. It was also very much a stretch.

You may be right that the shirt is supposed to be hinting at Corsair but if that's all it's hinting at it would be a disappointment when the trailer had already shown enough for people to be saying Corsair before the shirt was even revealed.

Ninja Turtles like pizza...so obviously the new class is going to Pizza Delivery.

Plot twist pirate job will be the caster, with a gameplay based on a gun infused with ether bullet.

Lmao, talk about a crazy twist. I remember in X-2, there's a 'gun-mage' job but it's a version of Blue Mage there.

If this would happen... It would defintely be the "Dancer of the casters" as in a job with an specific aesthetic that is rarely catered when getting caster items.

What I think the shirt means? Geomancer because of the turtles > kojin.
What I want the shirt to end up meaning? Pictomancer because of the renaissance artists
Shirt aside, what I - really - wanted the job to be? Puppetmaster, curse/hex caster with puppet weapon. Alas there's zero clues to the TMNT pointing to this, the only chance would be that the shirt refers to the melee dps instead.

Im still in time mage camp, but a pretty convincing argument I saw for Corsair/pirate had:

1) Ninja turtles, with the pirates vs ninjas theme
2) Mayhem was a Corsair weapon in ffxi
3) the region where the Kojin are found in game is overrun by pirates
4) the trailer video; somebody clearly has been playing Assassins Creed Black Flag. The leather cross straps under the overcoat are likely holding guns; his hand is resting on an invisible cutlass.

Which reminds me, I'm still waiting on that pizza you promised me. No tip for you. :D

(Wise man say, "forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza." ;))

(Okay I admit I kind of am to blame for that myself, due to not being on much lately.)

Oh right, Yoshi-P's tshirt - who knows - generally the hint is only obvous after the event, but is as clear as Ul'dahn mud otherwise, and this is very much the case here (I'm not going to even try and guess, as it's probably going to be wrong either way).

Necro bump, but…
Just wanted to say, props to this guy. He called it back in July and not many people believed.

That’s right.. today, I am the Necromancer!
