FF is due for some entirely new Jobs

What will we get? What will FFXIV bring to the table that's entirely new? Pure speculation here. I think before it brings something new we'll have essentially every FF job known to man, but I would really love to see something entirely new and unique...

I can't think of anything myself, however >_<

Although I really like how pugilist/monk plays in this game, and would love to see a sort of healer or tank that plays in a similar fashion.

I would like to see them introduce a soldier, cop, Indian chief, cowboy, construction worker, and biker.

Lawyer, it can be DPS or a Tank... And they will be so good players will have to pay them to be in their party. If a DPS and Tank Lawyer are in the same party, they will defend their role for the entirety of the dungeon/time they are in the party.

Although on a serious note, who knows what Yoshi and his team may come up with outside of traditional FF jobs.

Cowboy and Indian Chief yes please

I wouldn't say its so unlikely. If FFXI is anything to go by, they introduced at least one entirely new class--Puppetmaster; allowed players to be a classic NPC class for the first time--Corsair(Pirate!); resurrected a job that hadn't been used since FFIII--scholar, and also brought back a job that was only ever used in FFV--Rune Fencer (Mystic Knight).

So I'd say there's precedent for a new job, or seldom used job, being added to the game! :o

The Viking (ヴァイキング Vaikingu?) class is a very rare class that has only appeared in Final Fantasy III (both the original Famicom version and the Nintendo DS remake) and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

I cant recall a playable necromancer in any final fantasy

I really think that ffxiv should go old fasion and bring up theif/rouge and red mage to acction oh and dont forget blue mage witch is pld in ffrr

Well technically, even tho she was not a playable character, Luca from ffiv was a puppetmaster, as was Reeve in vii (the guy who controlled cait sith) and you can make the argument that Lulu in X was also.

Also we have seen mobs that control puppets in games as a means of attack, so the xi puppetmaster was not completely unheard of in the final fantasy genre but just different and more prominent enough to seem that way :D

I personally like the classics, they can introduce new jobs if they would like but there is something about the classics. What they really need to do is drop the thm, con, mrd brouhaha and just do jobs.

I am not sure what to call it, but I think we will see a magi-tech gun class, but get this it will be a healing class not a DPS. We need a non-magical healing class and I think that will probably do the trick. It shoots its injections at the other players.

Silly idea I know, but was just thinking about it.

The Corsair, while themed as a pirate, is actually a recreation of the Gambler job class (something about SE not liking the term gambler anymore due to some negative connotations).

Wow! Thanks for this. Now I really want a necromancer! Most rpgs have necromancers and it'll be nice to have it here. But I'm not sure how they can implement them. They def. Seem to be a challenging class to play while dungeoning

Y.M.C.A.
I love your post.

They really need to add Ninja in this game. It's such a traditional job (and my favorite). Just wouldn't seem right without Ninja.

Chemist in Final Fantasy Tactics start off with Daggers but eventually gain access to guns.

Description of Chemist throughout FF's history.

Their main weapons are daggers, guns, and rods. They are best known for their abilities involving various items. Usually, this involves having an exclusive access to special items, doubling the potency of recovery items, and most importantly, their unique ability Mix allows them to combine two items into one. They also can heal party members for free.

---

Now, before one of you bust through the door yelling: "BUT WE ALREADY HAVE ALCHEMIST AS A DoH CLASS!" Yoshida could totally name the class Medic instead. They would have access to the Mix command. And instead of using up consumables, the items would be abilities that you learn as you level up and quest for. IE Potion, Hi-Potion, Mega-Potion and so on. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere saying Yoshida is against jobs that rely on consumables a la FFXI's Ninja so this should work.

Main Weapon: Pistols, Rifles [etc.] [Base class: Musketeer]
Through use of their abilities, Medic is able to heal, offer DPS like White Mage and Scholar with their firearms, grenades and such, buff your party and debuff your enemies.

Pink Mage

Special ability: Fabulous Magic

Psionicist - Wielding the power of the mind to support the party, and of course DD ...

X-2 had Gun Mage as a Blue Mage with guns. Maybe when Musketeer gets released, Gun Mage can branch of it using Magitek guns. Cid could be the quest NPC maybe.

Shadow mage. Uses dark energy to heal party members and uses it also to mitigate damage. It would fall somewhere between scholar and whitemage but not overpowering either class.

Some FF classes that need to go in just because it would be pretty crazy.
- Mime
- Yeti

I really would like to see a class named Occultist , a Dark magic based caster who does Dps an Debuff his prey. The 2 jobs would be Necromancer and Shaman. Necromancer would be the Master of dps/debuffing, using morbid spell to paralyse their foe and terrorize them. (Would need to have Occ lv30 and Thm lv 15). Shaman would be an healer that can debuff his foes while his healing would be drains type spells (A spell named Bleed could be a DoT on the target and heals double the amount to the tank) it wouldn't heals for big number but the debuff would make up for it.

(I know Necromancer is in FFV.. But it's more like a Bluemage to me..)

We can all agree that regardless of the classes they plan to release let's hope they release at least two at one time. I don't want to login to find nothing but BLUs or RDMs running around lol. I think they should introduce the obvious jobs first (THF and RDM) and their classes then go from there.

Change ACN to Accountant!

Say, someone who debilitates their enemy with deadly viruses and diseases while wearing them down by collapsing their lungs and spreading horrible toxins?

Sounds like summoner to me.

Or keeping with FFXIV ARR lore. Cid becomes a trainer for Magitek equipment.

Class:Engineer. Two jobs from it (like ACN) one uses Magitek gear to support and heal. Other job uses to damage. eg turrets, traps to ensnare.

Or maybe combine DoH and DoW/M classes for new jobs too.

Yoshi already mention that he'll focus more in scouting (ninja/thief/musketeer) and caster (red mage/blue mage) classes. I'll have to find the url link somewhere to back up my statement. Will post later.

Mathematician - Alters the RNG. Like any time the RNG is in play, more chance of good stuff happening. Or maybe, a gambler would be better for doing that...

So I'd love to see a RDM again. I really want a sword DPS class honestly plus that pimp hat tho. But in all seriousness a Red Mage would be amassing to see.

Now I hope that people won't force the RDM to the back line healer like they did n FF 11. When tech. the RDM was a dd. with a sword and magic.

tech a red mage is a melee that can cast white and and black magic , if u go sword u lose casting speed / casting dmg , if u go staff/rod , u lose melee dmg and become a mage...

i guess SE can implement RDM with a sword or rod setup for melee rdms and caster rdm

u really never used redmage as healer on other FF games? Oo

I know I didn't. Then again, I usually also had a dedicated healer in the group, so I mainly used Red Mage for offense, or a back-up healer if things were really getting hairy.

That's an incredible idea. :P

This is what I pictured Archer would become before I learned what a Bard actually was for Final Fantasy XIV.
http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__...ARR_Archer.png

Not this:

http://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/519....305262051.jpg

So I was thinking if having the Ranger job would complicate things to much. In place of the bard songs I can imagine more DPS centric abilities and it's Limit Break being switched to a ranged DPS LB that would be shared with Musketeer.

The Archer class itself covers most of what Rangers did in previous Final Fantasies. I just don't want to wear outfits like the image below. I want to be a full fledged ranger without being a musical performer.
