Yoshi-P Confirmed that the one job not announced was Warrior, and they shown some concept art. This one's for us Marauders.
Now the big question: Will it focus on Offesne? Defense? Both?Quote:
Q: Isn't it about time for you to introduce all the jobs that will be implemented in patch 1.21?
A: There is one last job that has not been introduced yet. So far, I have introduced Paladin, White Mage, Black Mage, Dragoon, Monk and Bard but the very last job left to be announced is… Warrior!
I would bet my chips on Offense, like most of the Warrior Jobs in the FF canon, but who knows they may want to make it hybrid, having an ability like defender, but for offense.

I'm digging the one-handed axe. Would be cool if they could be the class to dual wield.

I took the quote to more reference Dark Knight...Not sure you can interpret it as warrior. Plus to me, that looks like SAM or BST. Maybe a pet job?

This is a 2 handed (see famitsu cover) axe. He's just holding it one hand for the same of concept art.
However, yes the option of one handed axes is prolly on their think-list.
As far as dual wield goes, while it would be fun, I'd bet they'll save this for the canon DW class/job: Ninja, gotta also consider the battle code behind the implementation of DW, I doubt they have this ready. So I would not get my hopes up for DW until an expansion or simply more jobs announced. -
10-04-2011, 10:39 PMZarvladThey said "Senshi" when talking about this bit, which is Warrior. No interpretation or speculation to be done, it was quite clear.Quote:

To me, why would they say it hasn't been announced and then announce it. Plus, they say warrior image, which again, to me, seems to be warrior as a general term. So I am under the belief it is Dark Knight, Samurai, or a Beastmaster type job. Although I have always assumed it would be Warrior, so won't be surprised if it is. -

I wouldn't mind a 1 handed spike axe with a bladed shield in the other hand (meaning a bladed edge fully encompasing the entire shield circumfrence)
-
10-04-2011, 11:17 PMZarvladYou are assuming right, so don't be surprised. Senshi (戦士）always been the reference as a job, since Final Fantasy 1 and that's what they meant in this live letter. Sorry to burst your bubble, but they didn't said Warrior as a general term in this specific case, so Beastmaster, Dark Knight and even less Samurai (be sure they will show us actual oriental armor and katanas for this) are not coming as a Marauder job...for now.Quote:

Either way, be happy with whatever they choose. Although I have no idea how they plan to balance classes, develop a support role, and create distinct yet balanced jobs (with the 'constraints' of 1 weapon = 1 class = 1 job). Going to be interesting.

well, conjurers and thaum has 2 types of weapons each
One way they could implement this is to for example having great swords as "2h Gladiator weapons" (which imply all GLA Jobs will also be able to use it) and then Katanas as "2h gladiator weapon" but jobwise restricted to Samurai, which means you can Use it as a Gladiator or a Samurai but not as other GLA related jobs.
Likewise have Scythes as "2h marauder weapon" but restriced to MRD class and Dark Knight job while 1 hand axes be usable my MRD and all of it's jobs.
The key here is to which Class the weapon is linked, then they could be more flexible about the Jobs that can also use it.
Right now it is one job per class, but once content is fleshed out they will be able to implement more. Also the way they changed the battle system, they could as well change the armoury system to over come the original concept, but from that point on it's pure speculation, which I'd rather wait for official news instead. -

Enough arguing. Let's just focus on how incredibly awesome the concept armor looks!

10-05-2011, 02:54 AMGidonoidon_SurI have a master's degree thanks. I am not a Dark Knight supporter or anything, hence my comment saying I don't really care which job it is. However, it seemed from the tweet that they were hiding something and Dark Knight has received a lot of buzz on the forums. I also mentioned other jobs in that quote.Quote:

I did read the tweet, but I also listened to the words of Yoshida which I was able to understand as I do have a knowledge of the Japanese language. He did present us the Warrior as a job, not a generic fighting job. No need to worry about them hiding something from us.
They are not.
What is confusing is actually something lost in translation. They should have wrote "the warrior" instead of "a warrior" to be more clear. No, In japanese there no pronoun, hence the mixup.
As a holder of a master degree, I'm sure you can be quite rational when times requires it. Now is such a time.
Ahh name calling. The solution to this world's ill.....right?Quote:
Dark Knight in XI was amazing, but too many people were more about looking cool and using "Dark" stuff then actually caring about playing the job. I've seen Taru DRK outdammage Elvaan samurais. That class was scary, just required some thought and skills. -
10-05-2011, 03:32 AMUlathskullsplitterIm actually disappointed in the armor. Its all cloth and fur. I want to have some cool looking metal armor. But I guess we can assume with the armor being cloth that warrior wont be a defensive class but pure DD. So thats good.Quote:

Nothing says if all that fur isn't covering some solid armor under. In the meantime we do get Sentinel Armor for our Shiny, Defensive needs.
Also, if one recalls Warrior AF in XI, this one is quite better looking (in my opinion). -

MRD => WAR
Holyomen approves. -
10-05-2011, 09:02 AMHikozaemonYou must of been playing ff11 in a different world because it truly was never that good of a job. It only shinned in a very select situations of which all depended on 1. having souleater and 2hr available. 2. having a bard to use a 2hr to buff the drk and 3. having multiple mages spam to keep the dark alive for 30secs/1min in which the end result 80% of the time was the dark accumulating too much hate and dying followed by the mages spamming it w/ cures. You can say relic was great w/ its haste breaking properties but many other jobs where capable of dishing out more dmg w/out a relic and more consistantly. SE nerfed souleater/bloodweapon multihit strats years ago. Almost any HNM outside and alot inside of abyssea where and are immune too souleater/bloodweapon combo. Drks scythe WS are lacking bigtime they are almost as bad as samurai ws that seeing as u refer to SAM u didnt know sam is one of the least favored weakest jobs now for many reasons. Dark underperforms in alot of situations and just in general now. Maybe when dark gets absorb spells that arnt resisted by everyone and there mom and gets faster attacks and a double attk trait you can come back and talk about how awesome DRK is lol.Quote:

I hope War stays a hybrid like Mrd. I'm digging the versatility.
It wouldn't surpise me if we get dualwield someday. Our icon has two axes... -

They said they may do cross class ---> MRD/THM= Dark knight Conj/THM= Red mage for the few who thought that it could be a dark knight.
