New Jobs in 4.0, perhaps this pic has some hints

Yeah, I like to think of Songstress as a combination of bard and dancer, in a way. I recently picked up the HD remaster of x/x-2 so i'm looking forward to playing it after i finish a few games I have in line before it :)

Just seems very appropriate and knowing this game loves references and should dancer be a job I doubt they'd pass up opportunities to reference that love/hate song.

But... but Dancer giving you tips what to do next! ;___; i almost wanted to marry you, y u do dis!

Screw your fighters, there's a sheperd class! *hype*
However it would be pretty nice to see Dancer as the next healer, I really want a more active buffer healer since I think AST didn't really fill that void. Something along the line of the Chanter from Aion would be great.

These jobs were Tanakas ideas iirc...

They would have been so cool.

I really hope Samurai isn't a tank, we've got enough 2h Tanks with big weapons as it is

I really hope Red mage, Dancer or Beastmaster aren't a tanks, we've none rags-wearing tanks with unclear main arms and it's good as it is.

Its interesting but I say they should bring Samurai (due to popular demand) and Red Mage so as to finally include all the original jobs from Final Fantasy 1 as well as give us a DPS with a sword.

Please, a DPS with a sword that is not samurai, SE. Please?

DPS with a sword and is not samurai may be either gunblade or indeed some kind of runefencer as Red mage will prbably look like.
Thou gunblade is rather 5.0 or 6.0 when MSQ will reach the point of annihilating Garlemald once and for all.

There was an assassin job in FF Tactics on the GBA, they used a greatbow or katanas. They were amazing!

If there's going to be a new tank, it needs to use shields. Aside from casters using them at low levels, having it restricted to just GLA/PLD later levels seem kind of wierd. Could be spiked club w/ shield, or 1h axe w/ shield.

Spiked club could be great for blunt damage, and the class could also use the shield as an additional weapon to get hate. Hell, who wouldn't want to smash something with a giant club?
