Looking back...I posted about Reaper in March 2021.

Post #18 I was just listening to some music one day and found the connections. This all made since back in FEBUARY (thread should say FEB not march)

What do I win? Clearly I wasn't the only one :D but it is fun to see the connections to Let it Die video game.

Reading that whole thread and it's funny how quick people say NO to everything.

Honestly reaper was a good chance because of the shirts. People just didn't want to believe a melee necromancer would happen in ffxiv

IS it a necromancer?
I thought it dealt with voidsent, with monsters from another shard. I didn't think it had any connection to death.

I didn't want it because it was too trope like, too predictable and FF has plenty of magical melee jobs that could be used instead.

I mean it was pretty obvious tbh.

Truth be told I predicted this long before you did.

Not all of it of course but I was the first to suggest alot of the mechanics they've used. I've been asking for a Scythe based class for years. And I was the one who suggested using a ghost instead of skeletons for Necromancer. And yes the class is called Reaper I know.

I said like a year and a half ago that if we get Necromancer it'll summon voidsent instead of the undead.

But my idea was for a tank and how cool it'd be if it summoned Anima during its burst window, now we know who will summon Anima...

I think the cool thing about the shirt hints is that it seemed too easy that a Reaper esque job was what it would be. I think many thought it would be so much more then it was. But it was more simple then what a whole lot of players thought.

Too bad there's not a dark and edgy healer to complete the edgelord trinity with dark knight and reaper.
