New Job: Viper

Maybe it's the thief job everyone wanted out of Rouge without being Rouge/Ninja. But in a way that makes the WoL not look villainous for being a thief.

It's pretty much Zidane but with a pirate cowl. It's not even subtle. I like it.

I think its cool
its the closest we will get to a judge(ff12) job imo

Im happy i can potentially play the scouting role without NINs awful stance

The callback to Zidane, the animations, and the glam potential is keeping me interested.

Still, a bit disappointed that we didn't get Corsair. I guess they wanted to appease the fans who wanted Rogue to go down a different route from Ninja, one that's more in line with what Viper is.

When I see or hear "Viper", all I can think of is this great man:

This is the day we learn that the game is made for everyone, and not specifically for any one player. Corsair was never confirmed officially. People just really hyped themselves up for something that wasn't even mentioned.

As for the job trailer, do you guys really think a lv 100 Viper is only going to utilize 5 moves for it's entire rotation? Obviously, this is just more teasing.

I'm just gonna say it, I'm really disappointed it's not Corsair or some kind of pirate job. We're getting to the point where people were speculating we may only get one job per expansion, so I'm really not holding my breath on ever getting one now. The setting of Dawntrail, along with the outfit the WoL wore in the trailer perfectly lined up for it, so as it stands, Viper just took the wind out of my sails, pun fully intended.

Not a melee player anyways, but this looks underwhelming. Corsair could have been cool. Could have been a hexagun/sword with some pseudo gamblingesque abilities and element aspected bullets.

I do agree with comments about this being an option for people who liked the rogue class in 2.4 and didn’t like the direction the job moved in when it became ninja.

By my count, that is 7 unique actions that were shown.

In contrast to Viper, I counted 8 unique actions. (Slice up, then down > Stabby stabby [x2] > Quick slices > Quick slices with down slash [x2] > Spinny spinny with the swords joined [x2]> 3 slashed with joined swords > blue aura activate > Phantom rush with swords).

Neither of them show of any sort of context in how they play, just what we could assume based on past experiences. Again, I don't see how you can call it looking incomplete when all we really have are animations.

its true same thing happen with GNB
they didn't even show off continuation
trailer was
Keen edge>super bolide>brutal shell>Nebula and Solid barrel
repeating each action twice for cinematic effect
