I'd be pleased with a surprise Musketeer announcement. Engineer or Corsair for its job!

I kinda don't like how everyone is putting classes & guilds to cities only. Remember we could have hidden lairs/areas and such that introduce hidden guilds/classes/jobs(this is why im hoping through quest progression hidden classes could be found. Unlock-able only by side quest progression/fame level?

Having it only city based would be predictable/easy, and nothing to work towards. After arcanist & maybe musketeer I hope some of the other classes are hidden through quest progression.

I second this fo sho.

I would be ecstatic if musketeer was put in early. Been waiting on that class since 1.xx beta.

The musketeer office is just a front organization for the Thief/Ninja guild. ;)

(Hey, one can hope!)

You should have titled your thread:

"Why SE will FAIL if they don't make a 2nd Class"

People would flood your thread to argue endlessly over it.

;)


Back on topic.

As others have said here, SE has always released at least 2 jobs in FFXI at a time to avoid a glut of one sort out in the world. Even though we will have an influx of new players, the volume of current players all leveling Arcanist will be overwhelming, so I think a new class would be prudent.

Then again, since leveling is mostly achieved via quests, and Arcanist looks like a solid solo-er, they might be purposely ignoring class-balancing EXP parties.

Well, I don't think I need to point out that we ARE getting 2 new classes. ACN and SMN.

Nope. That's 1 Class and its Job. Just like you don't count PLD and GLA separately.

That is one class and it's job. A Job is not a Class ^_^

Technicalities.
