is this confirmation on more than one new class?
New classes..... ok. That got my attention.
This is confirmation that FFXIV:ARR has new Classes, Dungeons, and areas to explore than FFXIV !
In all seriousness though, Scout and Musketeer confirmed!
Oh, I'm guessing we'll see Coerthas Central Lowlands in 2.3 or some time soon. "New areas to explore", plus that door in Revenant's Toll that got added in 2.28... Could also be all the Beastmen zones too, since they are meant to get their own full zone and that path to the Amaljaas tower has been there since beta, and those are the logical places to put Wandering Primals for FC summoning, which is also meant to be soon.
I am willing to bet nothing that Musketeer will get Orator, which is effectively Beastmaster. They said they were working on a Taming ability around the same time as Summoning, and Orator mainly used firearms. It would be unexpected since it's a Tactics Job (something they've mentioned wanting to implement) rather than a FFIII Job.
I'm more interested in the new jobs that will progress from the new classes, scout obviously will be Thief or Ninja, Musketeer........I would love to say Corsair as another support dps but I doubt it
It was previously asked of him, can you tell us about the new classes, and he said I cannot because then I would have nothing for E3, which to me confirmed that the new classes will be discussed there, and he also said if you played the v2.2 scenario you will have an idea of what these classes are.
Translator's note: "now" means "in 6 months" in SE speak.
You guys are looking hard into nothing. Doesn't confirm anything.
The badge seems more like a "Look at what we've turn this game into since 1.0". Especially since it mentions the awards.
