I was thinking it would be nice to have new classes instead of the same old ones over n over n over.
Maybe you guys can think of some cool new classes that they could make with FF14
My Tank
-Frog Tank
---Uses a whip to grab enemies and pull towards them
---Can use the whip for AoE enmity generation by spinning it around
---Can use Jump techniques to dodge (as CDs)
My DPS
-Cerberus
---Can change into many different monster to gain different skill point distributions
---Can change between Melee and ranged by switching which monster it is
---Perhaps a flying monster that can use Garuda-like atks
My Healer
-Cupid
---Shoots people to heal them with special atks (using arrow names like Rez arrow or heal 1 arrow or w/e)
---Can charm enemies to stun them
---Uses Heal Bombs for AoE heals
You like them?
Okay you guys are next!!

Fartman.
=======
Heavy Damage over time fart attacks as well as decent burst damage.
Can use gassyness to get out of the way of attacks, similar to repelling shot in bard but with more diversity and control.
Gains stacks, up to 5, when using special gas attacks and can sacrifice all of them for a big fart nuke. -

I don't want any classes that "morph" into any creature. Werewolves, werebears, zombie rockstars. Keep that crap out.

Morhper. Turns into a monster. Or give BLU the ability to turn into a monster as a high level spell.

Real Life Guy
- Has the special ability to exist outside of FFXIV
- Doesn't have or suggest horrible ideas that make no sense
- Requires management of thirst and hunger stacks
- Is not allowed to use any attacks without the risk of going to jail
- Things you do while using this class actually matter -

Rules
1. Remember, it's not a bug, it's a feature. It's a lot more fun to explain something if it isn't written off as a bug.
2. There are no NPCs. Aside from animals, everybody is a "player".
3. The devs are lazy and rarely do much. The game is mostly balanced as it is according to them, therefore they don't do much aside from "natural" world events.
4. The game is mostly run by the players. All in-game items and rules are determined by players, not mods or devs.
5. The players are responsible for in-game events. The devs are responsible for "natural" events. So stop begging the devs to add in a new type of car. It's player-made.
6. There are no "in-game moderators"; thereare players with more power than the average player. Police officers, lawyers, politicians and the like are other players. They aren't technically moderators.
7. Terms to avoid: mods, DLC, hacks, glitches, cheats, textures or anything similar
8. NO MEMES. Advice animals, or variants thereof, will result in a ban.
9. When in doubt, ask yourself, "does my post make this sound like a cheap World of Warcraft/Everquest/UO ripoff?" If yes, it probably shouldn't be posted.
10. Avoid top-level discussion of the game; don't discuss stuff like in-game settings or options.
11. The moderators of this subreddit reserve the right to remove any post for being too far off from these guidelines. This includes submissions that follow the letter of the guidelines, but not the spirit. -

Final Fantasy already has a legacy of classes and jobs. We really don't need any more.
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Job
The last time Final Fantasy added new jobs, we got FFXIII. We... don't need another XIII. -

Class: Scripter (Disciple of Magic)
Description: Alter enemy commands by writing new AI scripts for them
Sample Abilities:
Charm - Causes the enemy to use its auto-attacks on a random target between itself or enemies that have enmity toward players that it also has enmity toward.
Roulette - Causes the enemy to use one of its special abilities on a random target between itself, all players that it has enmity to, and all other enemies that those players have enmity to. The target is the only one affected and cannot evade this attack.
Confusion - The enemy moves around randomly, uses auto-attacks against a random player in melee range, and uses its special abilities at random angles or random coordinates within range.
Fear - The enemy cannot use auto-attacks.
Dread - The enemy is Pacified (30 second duration).
Job: Hacker
Sample abilities:
Invert Chance - For 30 seconds calculate percentages as 100 - base percent to determine chance. Applies to anything with a pecentage chance associated including but not limited to critical hit rate, accuracy, drop rates, HQ drop rates, Need/Greed rolls, etc. Cross-class skill usable by all classes and jobs, crafting and gathering classes.
Undercutter Cut - Place a buff on one item you are currently selling at the lowest price. In order for another player to set their item at a lower price, they must pay you gil equal to the price you set for your item, and this buff is removed from your item and placed on their item. If anyone buys the same item at a higher cost, your item is sold instead at that higher price, and this ability ends.
Move self - Choose a zone and a set of coordinates. You teleport to that location instantly without having to pay teleport fees.
XXXX - 1% chance to instantly kill the target. Instant cast, 2.5 second recast. Works on bosses as well.
Freewheeling - When a dungeon drop appears in the Need/Greed list that isn't equippable by any class/job in the current party (including if that item isn't equipment), you can change that item to a random piece of equipment droppable in that dungeon that can be equipped by one of the jobs currently in your party. All players get a new roll. This ability can only be used once per item per Hacker. -

Would like to see a morphing class XD
Although there are a few morphing actions in FF series, one job, a lot of bosses (lol), Vincent, Esper form, a few i'm probably forgetting... So not really new, but uncommon :D -
10-03-2014, 02:58 AMErudainI've heard that game servers sucks....terrible grind, perma-death, no re rolls, community is mean, ridiculous long learning curve, severe imbalance between players...Quote:

Wouldn't be unheard of. FFXI introduced a job never before seen in Final Fantasy and it was glorious. Puppetmaster is still my favorite Final Fantasy job of all time.

10-03-2014, 09:40 PMFated
There are plenty of interesting jobs that have just not even been tried yet. That's the real problem. The community clamors for crap like Red Mage and Dark Knight instead of things that are more unique.

10-03-2014, 10:10 PMTupsiXIII and its sequel did amazingly well (one of the top selling FF Games). You should hope the FF games still continue to do well. We didn't have 'jobs' in XIII, it was more like FFVII and VIII where you could 'assume' jobs based on what they're doing.Quote:

At the beginning of 1.0 we had new classes that were not like in other FF games (like Conjurer, a mix of WHM and BLM without to be a RDM).
People complained that they want them to get changed into traditional FF (XI) classes. -

It a lil disappointing that no one wants anything new, just recycled stuff with new wrapper.
Oh well... -

10-06-2014, 03:12 PMHakuroDKMost folks come here to play Final Fantasy, not a brand new IP. Innovation is nice, but there are standards it needs to uphold to continue being a Final Fantasy game. Using the classic Jobs is one of those standards. And it's not like there are only, like, ten of them about. There are a ton.Quote:

The point I'm trying to make is that, while innovation is a fine thing to strive for in most cases, in an MMO that makes a conscious effort to be a tribute to the legacy of an entire franchise, it is often best to take full advantage of that legacy before implementing too many unnecessarily new ideas.Quote:
Blue Mage -> Can learn abilities from enemies directly and use them against foes. In some iterations, they are also well-versed in their use of Libra to determine weaknesses and even exploit them.
Mystic Knight -> Casts magic onto their own weapons, enchanting them as they take down foes. In some iterations, they can also cause all enemy magic to be redirected towards them like a lightning rod, then absorb that magic to restore MP.
Mime -> The Copycat Job. Has the capability, technically, to use any and every ability in the game, but at the cost of having to copy it from someone else.
Geomancer -> Spellcasters whose abilities cause the very terrain to attack enemies. In some iterations, they can even change the terrain entirely to cast new spells.
Dancer -> An underrated Job, the Dancer (who is, in essence, the Melee analog to Bard) is able to channel magic through the power of dance. Their signature move, Sword Dance, can potentially be one of the most powerful attacks in any game it's featured in, but its magic can also cause confusion in enemies, drain HP/MP from foes, or a variety of other effects.
Chemist / Cannoneer -> Two different, yet similarly acting jobs. The Chemist is the support/healer analog of this duo, able to use items for double their normal efficiency and to mix items together to create powerful effects. Cannoneer, on the other hand, is the debilitating damager analog. Mixing items with "shot", they can inflict serious amounts of damage to various enemies depending on the variety of "shot" used.
Oracle -> A spellcasting class that foretells great fortune or misfortune, the Oracle has some of the most powerful spell effects in the game at a very very low cost. The drawback is that each of these spells are tied to a countdown timer. Once the timer reaches zero, the ability activates. Doom is a very popular Oracle ability, but also included are spells like Divine Judgement, which inflict massive Holy damage on all enemies and heal all allies simultaneously.

10-06-2014, 03:22 PMExstalI don't disagree, I was just letting the guy I was replying to know why things are going the way they are. It's logical to have jobs that most Final Fantasy fans have come to love before adding jobs that have not been seen before in the franchise.Quote:

If they made a class like the druid in WoW in which you can transform into animals, I'd probably pick it in a heart beat. It's pretty much the only reason I occasionally go back to playing WoW.
