Which Job do you want to see the most in a future expansion? (Poll)

http://strawpoll.me/4507557 <<<<< THE POLL

Just some info here, the Poll only allowed 30 different answers so I looked at several lists of recurring FF Jobs to pick the choices. If you voted for Other, because your top choice wasn't listed then post here and let me know which one you want! Post here anyway so we can see what people are looking forward to, and why! :)

If anyone wants to know, I vote for Samurai, because...SAMURAI.

We're getting Gunner and Time Mage, and we HAVE Thief.
They're called Machinist and Astrologian, and it's called Rogue/Ninja.
Yoshida & Co. already gave their rationale for why Rogue is just a different name for Thief. The fact that ROG/NIN have all of the "iconic" thief skills really should have been tip off about this. Trick Attack, Sneak/Hide, Mug, Sneak Attack...all normally thief abilities. There's no use in adding a class that would be redundant on conception.

Samurai as DPS...screw you people that want it as a tank

I mean it's not like I wrote up an entire class schemata for them on a different forum or anything

I also want Samurai to be a DPS. But judging by the "coolness" factor, and how popular it's likely to be, it wouldn't surprise me if it was a Tank to try to encourage more players to fill that role.

Red Mage is just such classic FF, it's inevitable eventually. Just a matter of how long!

Well I mean besides that it's not terribly difficult to stat out. You just make an INT-based class that uses rapiers. The main problem is people thinking "They need to fit into one role and red mage is all three". Just make it a melee/ranged deeps that uses INT as a main stat for both, and you're gold.

Dancer, of course.
Personally I think since they've mentioned wanting to try to institute a hybrid role (something the multiple stances for AST seem to be experimenting with) we could be looking at rolling out DNC, SAM, and RDM together as hybrid classes.
Though I would NOT be surprised if they gave RDM a different name.

To tell the truth, the only jobs that are really feasible and unique enough to be their own jobs in the future are:

Samurai (I agree it would probably be DPS)
Red Mage (It would probably rely on fencing combos and use elemental stances)
Dancer (Basically a Melee Bard that has to keep using their Dance effects to boost the party in a similar manner to NIN's ninjutsu)
Alchemist (Least likely of the group, but would probably be a healer class)
Sage (because CNJ dps job)

It's possible that they would also make a Beastmaster/Blue Mage type class but it would probably lay claim to neither of those classes' name sakes. It would probably be a more 'feral' monk. Every other job listed either already has an existing class set (such as the Onion Knight set/helm) or already exists in another form (Thief/Assassin = Ninja). There's also some that overlap such as Runic Knight and Red Mage, where Red mage is the more popular and more distinctive job.

Dancer as a Support DPS! (Just no crappy mudra-style actions please)

Isn't Gambler/Alchemist the same as Astrologian?

I picked Dancer!

if they did do it, it would probably work like a combination of NIN's mudras and WAR's defiance stacking.
Basically, you do a combo (not affected by mudra lag because they're offensive abilities) and then activate a finisher that consumes your stacks and gives and effect based on your steps.

More like gambler/Time Mage, really.

As a couple of earlier posts said, some of those options are redundant (hello thief) but man I have been dying for dancer since 14 was announced.

Soldier (or Braver would be a cool title).

A Gunblade DPS Class.

Seamless mix of Melee & Ranged capabilities.

Blue Mage is my favorite.

-Ranged magical dps
-Gets iconic friend/enemy spells from throughout the series, and watered down versions when using something that's supposed to be super powerful (ultima/megaflare/meteor/hell's judgement/etc...)
-Good times

I also would like to see a Gunblade wielder, perhaps something related to the Garlean Empire. They could even call is Solider!

I'm searching for a job
All across Doma
Just to find
To find my samurai :D

I want SAM/RDM/DNC but I only voted for Red Mage because I'd like Red Mage first.

Sage cause BLM (THM) + WHM (CNJ) job. Both heals (can use a healing skill other than Physick on the BLM end) and DPS (which I'm guessing is further limited when you upgrade CNJ into WHM).

I wish I could vote for multiple, cause if it wasn't limited to one choice I would have picked Red Mage with Sage.

Blue Mage, because they are one of the most unique classes from any rpg I have ever played. And something about using/hunting your enemies skills is fun to me.

Red Mage of course. What else?

Well after Memorist suddenly jumping from LAST to FIRST, I did some Googling and it appears it's possible to edit the value of your votes on Strawpoll. So basically, some dick has ruined it :D!

ok why a dancer job? i don't get it? is a dancer like the songs the bard plays? Only played dancer in X-2. i don't get what unique stuff it will add

Just give me SAM/ RD MAGE/ GUNBLADE CLas or incorprate that with RD MAGE then im happy man.

here ya go:
http://ffxiclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Dancer
http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Dancer_%28Tactics%29

in tactics it was a reverse bard, in XI it's probably one of the most balanced jobs in the entire game, with lots of versatility. And its play style already fits FFXIV pretty well, with only a few adjustments that need to be made.

Dang that person who ruined that choice. Somehow I wonder since that choice has been compromised, it should be removed...or edited again back to it's original value.

Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of how to do that or whether that's possible :(

OH NO...poll HAXORZ! lol :(

Dance Dance all night! This as some form of support class (dps or heal wise) would be fabulous <3

Besides DNC, I think Berserk or Mystic Knight would be very interesting and Red Mage is always a welcome in my book.

As long they introduce the GunBlade Job that yoshi-P said we will not get yet since we can't access Garlean Empire yet.

The hint is the "can't access Garlean Empire yet" part that makes me think Gunblade Job is probably planned already for a future Expansion.

What happened to Musketeer anyway? The guild is already there in Limsa, collecting spider webs... Is it too much to hope that one day it will become Chemist healer job?

Dancer please!

And where exactly was this stated? I'd love a source for such a statement claiming we're getting a gunblade kind of job or even hinting at it because that would be the first I've ever heard of Yoshi-P saying anything of the such.

It's a nice list but for those who never played FF XI and most of the FF games they have no meaning whatsoever and therefore it's impossible to vote.

Tank or riot....

The one time where i will say a job really needs to stick to its classic FF image: Red Mage.

A job that for once will give a viable option to play a real generalist(physical dmg, magical dmg, and healing). Well, at least until the community begins to fall on and decimate itself by trying to force a specialty on Red Mage under the banner efficiency.

Ultimately I had to vote for RDM over the very close call to BLU. I hope we get both.
