Holy crap, this. I am fully on board. I tried to like this, but the idea was so awesome that it broke the like button and told me to try again later.

Hunter, because Bard is trash.
Red Mage, but that's only a dream.
Samurai, because Gladiator is way too slow.
Thief, cause all MMO's got that class.
Fusilier, cause NPC's wear guns and i don't.

^^^ This guy. Mime for the win. I want the sand worms in the desert to swallow me, and inside the sand worms dungeons (his insides) I have to fight Gogo to earn my Mime Jobstone.

What ever class Wakka was from FF10. I want to throw my balls at people.

I'd love to see another healer, Calculator or Sage perhaps? I can't think of any other fitting healers, perhaps RDM could function as an off-healer.

Dancer or Corsair would be nice as full-support classes unlike BRD which is more of a semi-support/DPS.

Keyblader, pls, Keyblader master...

Samurai and a battle mage class of some sort.

We need THIEF ASAP,we need Treasure Hunting,but it can also be a problem with the goldsellers running loose.

I had a Dark Knight in XI and I really liked it. I'd love for it to make a come back.

You got it backwards. Musketeers didn't move, the Marauders did. Musketeers have always been in the Coral Tower. Marauder's Guild was on the docked pirate ship Astalicia (which is still there, but now there's nothing of interest there any more). The Musketeers were built around the Knights of the Barracuda. What happened to them? I was expecting them to take the place in the Limsa storyline that the Sultansworn had in Ul'dah and God's Quiver in Gridania, but instead I did the level 15 quest fighting beside the Yellowjackets (whom I had pegged as being the equivalent of the Brass Blades and the Wood Wailers). Looking back, I'm not sure there's been *any* mention of the Barracuda in the present day (there are references to them having been at the battle of Carteneau). Have they been written out of the story?

YES YES YES YES YES! SE! GET ON THIS!

1. Knight (gladiator/marauder or Lancer) Would be the DD version for gladiator.
2. Dark Knight (Needs a new starter class for 2 handed swords that become dark swords)
3. Thief/Ninja and/or samurai (Ninja being DD and Samurai being tank)
4. Fencer/Red Mage
5. Ascended Classes (Once in later expansions you can level up your soul stone to become an even more legendary class, Ex: Paladin=Hero, Warrior=Berserker, Samurai=Ronin, Ninja=Assassin, Black Mage=Black Wizard, etc.) I think it would be cool.

1. Dark Knight
2. Samurai
3. Time Mage

I'd like to see a Chemist for a healer disciple of war/magic class.

I'd like to see Pimp. He could summon ho's to do his bidding and if people go to close he'd do his ultimate. Pimp slap. before that at like lvl 30 he would have his pimp cane and use bludgeon. Lastly he'd yell "Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?" Oh and ultimately to solve any gil problems at lvl 50, every time your ho's land a "finishing" blow you get money. Boom farming class born.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bONBlJNt0I0 here for the video that's from.

Red Mage
And red mage.
Then red mage.
Afterward red mage.
And then maybe Blue Mage.

Everything Im going to say Ive already seen a million times which Im glad about because they really are awesome classes and the more times we mention it the better chance we have of seeing it :)

I love Puppetmaster and Blue mage, definitely top two picks

And idk about anyone else but musketeer sounds a little silly, sounds like Im going to look like a soldier in the civil war or something, I want to look like a pirate so make it corsair

Also Samurai would be great, two handed swords, definitely want a katana wielder

Id like to see Bard changed, more of a buffer and healer than dps but i dont see that ever happening, I would imagine they would add Dancer with those abilities before they do that

And last but not least, Beastmaster, no doubt

Thief.

I don't care even a little how many times it has or has not been said. Thief. Just so long as they don't bum-f**k it up like they did in XI...

Red Mage
Blue Mage
And maybe Machinist.

Thief / lvl30 Ninja jobstone

Reading all these classes/jobs everyone mentioned...THE NOSTALGIA!!! :D

Incorporate them all!

1) Dancer. I had never heard of this before this thread. But now I want it. Badly. Especially for my lalafell healer.
2) Red Mage. Because it sounds fun.
3) Thief. Because I keep getting asked what the thief class is in this game, and people are confused when I say it doesn't have one.

I can't wait to see how they butcher the AF though.

I wish I could find the interview/notes but Yoshi said Red mage would be the one class he wish he could add to the game, but due to balance reasons (no hybrids allowed), Red mage will not make it to this game. Unless they allow hybrids or completely butcher what it means to be a red mage, we won't see it.

I want to see a job that requires a DoL or DoH sub to unlock. That would be interesting. Maybe even two subs, like THF at 30, plus BTN and MRD at 15 to unlock NIN. BTN's stealth ability then becomes a Sneak Attack ability, allowing you to disappear from a mob's sight and reappear behind him for extra damage.

Edit: Had another idea on this. Convert Arbor Call to Mark for Death, which allows you to see and mark mobs blocked by objects or the environment. You get extra damage to marked mobs. And if you combine it with Brunt Force, the PT gets an exp boost that goes up 20% with every chain kill.

This has to be one of the most logical things i have yet to read in the forums.

sword master (2h sword user) > dark knight/samurai
pugilist > dancer
thief (dagger) > ninja (twin dagger)
conjurer > geomancer (dps/debuffer role)


i think redmage will be the tier 2 jobs not before we get more class that are needer like gun, 2h sword and dagger. musketeer will surely become available when we will get closer of the empire and get acces to more interesting technologie.

Yes! I have been thinking the same thing. DoL classes need to have cross role uses. I have been trying to think what would make the most sense, but I am still not sure. Miner and Pugilist maybe? Archer and Botanist? Fisher and .... I don't know. Arcanist. Hah.

Actually just last weekend at PAX Yoshi stated that they are looking to bring several classes, including Red Mage. It sounded like Red Mage would be a two tier that requires Black and White to unlock. He also said 8 months or so ago that he really was hoping to bring stealth classes like Ninja.

Dark knight of course
Time mage?
Ninja
Samurai
Thief

Also we need hybrid sword mages(Red mage/Blue mage)

Not really on topic but I think some what a valid question. With the 4 player party system with a tank, 2 dps, and healer how would a support job/hybrid be implemented? I can see how it would possibly work in larger groups, but in dungeons that rely in the 2 dps, I don't understand how a support job would be playable.

@araxierose: that a quite interesting question!
let's take the case of the dancer, a natural hybrid support class, let's say she come from pugilist for make it simple at explain. the pugilist by him combo buff himself.
let's say that every skill of the pugilist change for be dancing move, still doing damage, but instead to buff himself, the dancer will buff the other around him. one combo for physical damage and one combo for magical damage, by example.
meaning the dancer will still deal damage and buff the other. for make it reliable the dancer will need to keep "dancing" (do him/her combo like the monk need to keep him combo up for get him top dps) instead there, it will buff the group around him/her.

that a possibility of how a hybrid support class can work in a party of 4

ps: the only hard part about this idea, is make new animation for each skill, and balance the buff for make it interesting without being overpowered. outside this is maybe the best way to use the combo system of the pugilist to the max.

I'd really like to see a Holy Knight class branch off of Gladiator to be an offensive based front-liner. Give them mitigation and damage somewhere in between a PLD and DRG and class skill such as Statis Sword, Split Punch, Lightning Stab etc. Then to help define them a bit give them a skill that allows them to switch sword skills from more powerful single target to AoE.

I could see them working in a way that they would be great at picking up and burning down adds and can sit on the front lines and just eat some enemy AE damage so that they can stay on the enemies more often without having to spend time dodging out of them and not doing their damage.

Samurai. That's the only job I want to see added.

I'm all for some classics returning from the older games, like Dancer and Geomancer. I think they could really build some new lore with new classes, though, like Rancher (chocobo breeder), Aetherial Knight, Rune Caster, Gambler (like using your Triple Triad deck of cards as your weapon ala Setzer), or a class utilizing the great weather effects in the game.

Samurai: Tank-DPS-Healer/Buffer. How? Equiping diferent kind of katanas:

2 katanas for DPS
Nodachi for tanking
Banners/Fans for Healing/Buffing.

And has to have critical HP buff and some counterattack skills.

by talking about new class, did the drg around have try chaos thrust and cut them music ingame? the attack do music.
outside the effect that look like petal of sakura and this small tune... i wonder if they don't plan to add us some sort of japanese class based on a spear (naginata) maybe a miko? using the spear for fight and chant spell for buff the other around... who know.

Jobs coming off the current classes like Arcanist with SCH and SUM.

Gladiator - PAL and Dark Knight might come off here instead of WAR?
Marauder - WAR and Dark Knight!
Lancer - DRG (DD) and Im not sure what they could do with this one.
Pugilist - MNK (DD) and Dancer? Not sure what class they could put with it ATM and THIEF (please?) Ninja seems like it could come off this class too
Archer - BRD and Ranger or Musketeer could come off here though Musketeer may be a new class, and then do Corsair off it
Thaumaturge - BLM and Red Mage? though this may not have a place in FFXIV w/ the class model, maybe a Necromancer would be more viable?
Conjurer - WHM and Druid/Shaman type class would go well with their elemental damage
Arcanist - SCH and SUM

I am looking forward to Dark Knight, Thief and Samurai. I am hoping they do another class for Dark Knight and Samurai weapon wise

Puppetmaster for sure, maybe Nunchuks as their weapon!

Rainbow Mage - Totes loves everyone and is heaps stylish and supports gay marriage :) hahaha

Fisher and Beastmaster!! Imagine the implications!
