The idea for this is balancing Light and Dark, or Yin and Yang. Fire would become Yin/dark and Blizzard would become Yang/light, Thunder would become Twilight.
The rotation would stay the same except for whatever Job abilities it gets, I'm thinking at least one would be Chi Blast. Also it would cross-class from as well as ACN instead of BRD, for Chakra, Mantra and Internal Release.

Worst idea possible.

if the rotation stayed the same it wouldn't be a new job, it'd just be confusing...

W--why would you make fire dark and ice light when fire is astral and ice is umbral, and they have been since 1.0 launched?

Shouldn't this rather have been posted in the Feedback & Suggestion Forum?.?
And I need to agree, that with the same rotation, it would just be the same job with different looking abilities~ -
09-14-2013, 11:32 AMChiraisuBalancing of light and dark was thm's first idea. They changed it off of it. While it's an interesting thought. Jobs are always a traditionally named Job from FF history. I dont' think I've ever even heard of "Taoist"Quote:

Edit: Some given examples for you is pretty easy. "Dark Knight" coming off of gladiator as a DPS job. Some other unnamed job coming off of pugilist that specializes on tanking. "Sage" For conjurer to toggle for DPS. -
09-14-2013, 01:38 PMDuelleYes and no. Famitsu's guide book/mook on FF Tactics translated Rafa and Malak's jobs to read as Taoist.Quote:

Lore wise there is nothing light about thamaturgy or black magic They are using the dark arts that is connected with the void itself. The very void where all the demons live.
Dark knight is most likely going to require thamaturge at level 15 considering the lore of this game the dark knight is going to be connected to the void like the black mage.
Plus in final fantasy XI they used black magic and great weapons. Plus yoshi said he could not see the dark knight wielding anything but a great weapon. So I think it will require marauder, since they used great axes, two handed swords and scythes in XI. -
09-14-2013, 04:11 PMChiraisuDark knights have only [exclusively] used two handed weapons in two games. FFX-2, and FFXI. In almost every other FF game they are generally depicted as having a one handed sword. And honestly, how do you cast magic when both hands are using your weapon?Quote:

The only spell school which is connected to the void is thamaturgy/black magic plus as I said its a dark art its like how paladin requires conjurer.
