What jobs are we hoping to see in the next expansion?

For the next expansion after Shadowbringers? I hope to see Blue Mage as a job.

Then the mystery one should be presented in Japan Fan Fest.

My guess is hanging on Dancer or something else for the Japan fanfest, but i hope to god it is not Arithmatician or something of the like, lol

Thanks! I actually like that, but I think limited jobs are still a bit marmite (either people absolutely love them or they absolutely hate them).

I agree with the con-Geomancers side actually. I'm not so much into job lore, but even for me it felt really obvious that AST 60-70 questline was about "omg we do the same thing but with different ways, so cool" with Geomancers.
I would not mind if it was implemented as a proper FFXIV job in the end. I just feel it would be a shame to revolve around a shared concept while they could just do something completely different than "channel nature's power".

I still think if Geomancer actually were to be implemented, it'd be like Astrologian in the sense that what we saw out of NPCs (in that case, the Ishgardian Astrologians in the observatory in southern Coerthas Central Highlands) is nothing compared to what we'd actually get. Honestly hoping for playable Geomancers working via magnetism.

Link's broken.

Old response from another thread on the same subject.

I have always hated the cry for Viking as a hammer using tank.

WE HAVE WARRIOR ALREADY!

With skills like:

Storms Path
Berserk
Storms Eye

For crying out loud Holmgang was began a duel between early medieval Scandinavians. We already have a Viking job in the game!

That being said the idea for a Hammer job in FFXIV is still possible you need only change up the thematics.

In this game we already have Nero and Grynewaht using two handed hammers setting a precedent for an existing class/ job of Garlean origin. From my perspective they do not seem to be Vikings to me. Would it not make more sense to have a Engineer who makes magitek field emitters that create defensive/ buffing AoE's and make it a Tank role? Something that would mirror Machinist but with a Tank role rather than a DPS. The whole story could be wrapped around Garlean defectors trying to help make their homeland something to be proud of, something i feel is being missed with the current defectors we have had contact with.

He even calls his hammer Mjolnir ffs...

We could also go the completely different route and ask for a DPS maiming Job like Crusader. A hard hitting but slow DPS that staggers opponents and crushes enemy defenses.

(yes this is a class from Diablo 3, and i think it looks amazing)

Suddenly think hammers arn't cool enough for DPS? How about a Mystic Knight with a Scythe that summons an Owl companion much like FFXI Dragoons did with their Wyverns?

(Guild Wars Dervish armor concepts)

Point being, we have Viking already. Cool new Jobs arn't that hard to come up with, even while sticking to that games lore and setting.

Had this same discussion to many times...

I will keep saying this...

Modern Assassin Job

Calculator similar to FFT. Using the power of math to determine damage, support and healing.

The potential to be a multi jog class. Many ways to use them. Add subtract multiply divide using exponentials. odd even level attacks. Weapon choice would be interesting. Probably a range weapon.

Im a nerd who loves basic math so this would be cool but not likely.

Part of me wants a 'rune knight' tank but I think in practice it would be too similar to DRK. Two handed sword, replace 'dark arts' stuff with arcanist type magic with runes etc. Probably not unique enough to be a new job and I'm guessing instead we get a gunblade tank job. Which will still be neat.

Add more Monster hunter collab and give us gunlance tanks ;3 lol

Green Mage as a tank instead of support
