Limited Job Idea Megathread

The feedback on Blue Mage seems to be:

90% of people hate it and
9.9% of people like it, but post weekly about wanting it to be a full job.

So, uh ... I can see why they'd never add another limited job.



That said, I'd literally kill for a chance to play a calculator. Construct7 is my jam.

Oh if were doing ideas Im sure people mentioned this but a class that utilizes dolls, beast tamer, hell even a class that uses iron works knowledge. But yeah limited jobs need more love.

I also want to see Green Mage added into the game. Don't know much about it, but I just wanna complete my assortment of colored Mage list in this game. x3

That's an awesome idea! They can reflect damage with one spell with a longer cooldown, reflect spell damage with another, and reflect physical damage with a third. For good measure an AEO reflect and a team wide reflect instant cast and longer cooldown.

Could even have offensive crowd control with ability to bubble enemies in place taking amplified damage and more once it expires maybe?

Green Mage was a job that did exist in the FF tactics series and I believe there it was a support job that pretty much just had castable buffs and debuffs with no real direct offense of its own besides the basic attack of hitting something with its weapon in melee range. Not really sure how that would play out in this game since they eliminated the support role to create the tank/healer/dps trinity since green mage didn't have healing abilities either. So essentially in that regard it would have an extremely hard time without party members.

I wouldnt mind a puppetmaster based limited job as long as it went a route of building and customizing the "pet" via installation of parts. I'd have it so the player character would mostly stay out of combat using a remote or some kind of interface device as its "weapon" and a maintenance tool for its offhand. The skillbar would be set with abilities the puppet gained from parts installed and would also gain traits from the installed parts as well allowing the puppet to fit a specific role or become a sort of cross role hybrid. As to a system of parts installation. I think the most ideal would probably be similar to a game I played called LBX. The game had shell parts that altered appearance and also I think contributed to things like max HP and defense values and it had an internal parts system that provided a shaped space where you could fit parts in kind of like a puzzle as the parts had different shapes and sizes and it was up to you to find the best way to make use of the space. It could be taken a step further and also allow the puppet to equip player weapon types based on it's primary configuration or frame if taking from the FFXI puppet master frames where you could have a base frame that could also have different internal box shapes and use weapons based on it's frame type.

can someone explain the point of limited jobs? i find it hard to put my time into leveling something i cant use in raids or normal instances like dungeons or trials

I'd love to see a Beastmaster that functions similar to Pokémon or WoFF where you capture monsters, level them, make a specific moveset, and can battle against other Beastmaster players. Maybe the chocobo fighting arena in Ishgard can be used somehow.

Alternatively, a Puppetmaster that can do the same thing but with minions. I want something to do with my collection of minions that isn't Verminion.

That be cool, unlike summoner it actually uses the monsters out in the field the only monsters we cant tame are bosses and certain A ranks and Most S ranks monsters would be the limitation but other than that I can see that.

As far as Blue Mage goes, I think the point of it is that leveling Blue Mage, getting spells, and doing its challenges in the coliseum is content. That, plus you can get with a group of 7 other Blue Mages and do older savage tier raids to get the Morbol mount.

The best limited job idea is no limited jobs.
