Hints at new class? Maybe?

I think it's going to be Templar, a blunt weapon wielding tank.

Or Arithmetician. The boss dealt with prime and multiples of three, four and five. If you Google final fantasy tactics arithmetician their abilities follow the same guidelines.

Now we're talking. I'll be tanking next exp then.

Geomancer for tank, Dancer for healer and Onmyouji for DPS. That would make quite a list.

I think Geomancer would make a cool tank, but wouldn't there be too much overlap with Conj/WHM? As far as I know, the main elements are all spoken for among the caster classes.

Ugh how does one add a spoiler tag? lol
Anyhow i do not think that scene is a spoiler for a new job as that person was not the only one in the group which i think they are all part of the same organization, no?

The reference to Shadowhunters was not specifically the fellow with the gun but also his companions which one was a blm. I could be wrong but if they are all Shadowhunters then it is not a hint for a new job. Perhaps Alphineaud further patches shall be revealed he is something else

Dancer has been talked/asked so much more then anything else so would be very disappointed if it does not get added in 5.0

No more so than NIN (or DRK, for that matter) treads on the toes of BLM. Their styles are sufficiently differentiated for it not to matter. In practice, most jobs use the elemental theme.

I'd rather see a gunblade themed job as a tank than GEO, tbh, which I think can be rolled up into the onmyoji theme, but it's a cool idea. I do hope we get 3 jobs for this reason.

(hb) spoiler goes here (/hb)

Replace the round brackets with square ones and it should work. :)

Thank you very much :D

They should just do the gunblade like they've done other weapons on the game, like Edda's scythes. Make it available for various classes rather than basing a whole new class around it.
