1.20...

Needs Samurai and Ninja Class

GOGO!

Those are jobs though.

And I don't think they'll release classes while they're still balancing the DoM changes, the enmity changes, and the battle revamp.

Ya I know.. but I want it!

Official mentality of the official forums.

I wantz Blue Mage =3!

I want CheeseCake

I want five expansions worth of content by yesterday.

Don't let me down Yoshi-P.

Eventually new jobs will be introduced probably not for a couple years... I wonder how a Ninja type job would play out in FFXIV though.. he aint gonna blink tank thats for sure.

A plethora of games use the 'ranged' class as a bard template. It makes all kind of sense.

And by 'new" he probably meant 'aside from the already announced seven'.

You are sure? I doub't you can foresee anything which will be coming up in the next years this early in the developement state.
And it can be done, people will just have to adopt to the new playing style of an FFXIV Blink Tank Ninja.^^

Only new jobs I want (not class) is MNK, BLU and BST. We all know MNK will be on Pugilist, not sure of the other two though.

The current classes do make me wonder. Maybe they might make a new class "Entertainer" with Bard, Dancer.. Puppetmaster?

Obviously not sure...

Can someone give me some link to some info..

Ppl keep talking bout WHMs and BRDs blah blah blah

Why are they changing the current jobs to those? etc etc.. link me so i can read this info on my own

Thank you

People seems confused with jobs and class. What we have now are a class of jobs. Like Pugilist will be able to unlock MNK, THF or NIN or something like that. Speculation

What we have now are classes.
Jobs are specific playstyles for classes that are meant for the "harder" content of the game, such as dungeons, raids, and HNMs.

From what I can remember, the confirmed jobs are Paladin, Monk, Black Mage, White Mage, and Bard (which means I'm missing two, or they didn't tell us the other 2, I don't recall).

Can't find the post of it either so you'll have to take my word for it :3

They're not changing the current classes to those, they're adding a job system on top of the class system. Basically, when you get a high-enough level on a class, you can do a quest that unlocks a job that is a specialized version of that class. So for instance, you get GLA to 25 (my estimate) and do a quest that unlocks Paladin. Now you can switch to Paladin, and have a different skillset that is more specialized for party play. These jobs are more limited in what class abilities they can equip. It's all in Yoshi's letters and interviews.

They can't implement jobs until the class that owns its weapon is designed and implemented first.

Samurai and Ninja would be the classical job name. The classes would be something like Parivr, Ronin, Bushido, Shinobi, Vagrant, Wanderer, Assassin, etc.


I'm kinda voting on Vagrant with Tachi's as the weapons.

Ninja'd x2

So they are not gonna keep GLA, CON, THM, PUG NAMES? or just entirely different jobs?

You will always be a class. So if you play gladiator as long as you have a sword you will ALWAYS be a Gladiator.

But once you hit a certain rank and complete a quest you can EQUIP Paladin. So you would become a Gladiator/Paladin

think of it as a kind of subjob that instead of giving you more skills, it restricts you to the skills it excels at and makes you more powerful at using them.

Read my post repeatedly until you understand properly....

There really isn't a different way to say it.

Maybe....

Weapons = Classes
Jobs = Playstyle, such as Tank, Healer, DPS, Nuker

Jobs are equipped on top of classes to specify the class's role. A class is just a weapon that gives abilities as you rank it up.

Yes, they are keeping the names of classes.

Example sentence;

the job known as Monk is a Pugilist class.

They should have never called them classes and just kept calling them weapons. then none of this but hurt over "Oh, gladiators are not as strong as pugilist at tanking" would never have happened.

Basically you just getting a HQ Version of your basic class =3

OMG PAINTBALLER FOR ARCHER!

Ehhh not really a HQ considering some skills will be unusable or nerfed most likely.

Can I have a potato gun when the U.S. marine class/job/specialization comes out in patch 4.76? :B

yes but this is final fantasy not if SE really want to piss people who enjoy bard then go for it. This is why we need tanaka or someone else who really know about final fantasy.

Bard as ranger fails and i hope that does not happen even tho i like samurai and not in to bard i just feel that bard should have it's own class. top of that we still missing mrd what do they become?

I find it hilarious that people are so quick to slate the dev team in general, and yet so few seem to know the concrete information about jobs etc that we've been told about extensively.

It's just funny.

i wonder if on each expansion we will get 1 new job per class

.................1.20 MNK .......................1.20 WAR
like PUG <.............................MRD <
.................2.0 THF ..........................2.0 THF

and so on ...
this would give FFIXIV a lot of jobs to choose from!!!! and if the implement new classes then its the motherload!

Knight hmm i though that was for PLD? seeing how knight in japan is PLD in NA at least that what i read in one of the interviews. I was thinking marauder would get something like Warrior or something like that.

@MattyWS yep that what am thinking that would get warrior it be cool to see how jobs are in a party then class i hope there good enough to play as a job that people would play them more then class in a party type event.

Not too many options to choose from really. Dark Knight is most likely considering we have seen the concept art.

I would really get a kick out of the "not fainul fantsy" people getting all butthurt over gaxe drk.
