So when SE creates propaganda art for the new jobs they are gonna have to make them a certain race. My question is what race do you think would fit for any future jobs?
Here is a list of what gender and race each class/job is depicted as. (the depictions are the 2D art, not anything 3D. Also only Hyurs are categorized since their is usually a distinction between the two)
Gladiator - Male Miqo'te
Paladin - Male Roegadyn
Pugilist - Male Hyur (Highlander)
Monk - Female Hyur (Highlader)
Marauder - Female Roegadyn
Warrior - Male Hyur (Midlander)
Lancer - Female Hyur (Midlander)
Dragoon - Male (possibly Elezen)
Archer - Male Elezen
Bard - Female Miqo'te
Rogue - Female Miqo'te
Ninja - Male Hyur (probably Midlander)
Conjurer - Female Miqo'te
White Mage - Female Lalafell
Thaumaturge - Male Lalafell
Black Mage - Female Elezen
Arcanist - Female Elezen
Summoner - Male Hyur (Midlander)
Scholar - Female Elezen
Dark Knight - Male Au Ra
Machinist - Male Miqo'te
Astrologian - Female Au Ra
So here are my thoughts on what each new possible Job could be depicted as. Also while I don't know which jobs will become tanks, I think the next Tank should be depicted as female.
Red Mage - Female Elezen
Dancer - Male Miqo'te, just because making a female dancer would be too easy
Geomancer - Male Au Ra
Blue Mage - Male Roegadyn
Puppet Master - Female Hyur (Midlander).
Beast Tamer - Female Roegadyn
Salve-Maker - Male Lalafell, so that a male is depicted as a healer for once.
Samurai - either a Female Au Ra or Roegadyn, I feel that this class should be depicted as female and Au Ra would make the most sense, being that it's an Asian Job.
What Race Should the Next Jobs Be?

Samurai HAS to be male. race doesnt matter (except potatos) but it needs to be male. When you picture a samurai you don't see a cute little kawaii girl, no you picture a strong independent guy( any race except potatos) wielding a bow in tow and a large katana in armor.https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...c0bbc3cb8d.jpg

As it stands, most Domans/ "Far Eastern" folks have been midlanders or Raen. So if SAM comes along then I can see it being Midlander or Raen.
That being said, i don't recall ant Duskwights in any(or most?) promo stuff. -
07-27-2016, 11:24 AMShurrikhanFor the sake of concept art (similar to the WoL party of male PLD/WAR/BLM, female WHM/BRD), he is, yes.Quote:

07-27-2016, 11:26 AMEloahNo, none of the jobs I listed are "confirmed" just those are the highest contenders, that I am aware of.Quote:

I though Yoshi-P wanted Derplander to be the face of samurai?
As for Geomancer, I'd expect an Raen Au Ra attatched if SE pulls their inspiration from FF11, where it had an East Asian motif being based more on the "taoist" alt name for the job.
Geomancer's appearance has been less consistent than most FF jobs, but the bells and attunement with nature has me leaning towards a Wildwood Elezan, as it's backstory could easily be routed in Grid. -
07-27-2016, 11:31 AMEloahIs the Elezen BLM in the WoL party, male or female? Cause the 2D image is female, but I never really paid attention to the 3D in game rendition.Quote:

Although, they could use another Midlander Male Hyur for Samurai, though i hope they don't I love the contrast of stereotypical gender roles, like female healers and male attackers. Give us male healers and female attackers. XDQuote:

Beast Tamer - Female Roegadyn
Salve-Maker - Male Lalafell
Samurai - Male Roegadyn
I feel we have enough Miqo'te in art depictions of jobs and classes. Roegadyn only seem to have like, 2? Same as Lala.
With these, there's more equal spread of the races depicting jobs/classes, Roe and Lala are still 1 less than all other races, but I feel where they are, they depict their position the best. -

Dancer - Female Au Ra
Red Mage - Male Highlander
Geomancer - Female Elezen
Blue Mage - Male Roegadyn
Puppet Master - Female Lalafell
Beast Tamer - Female Roegadyn
Salve-Maker - Male Lalafell
Samurai - Male Au Ra
Dancer fits female characters far more then male characters by far. Its why often times when it comes to character design a female dancer is paired with a male bard of the "performance" style classes. Blue Mage would fit a character that is often considered durable (like Roes) given that classic FF Blue Mages learn their skills by getting hit by them. -
07-27-2016, 01:13 PMNandalowellI'm confused, where in the race selection are you seeing potatoes? Sorry, "Potatos". Are Potatos a new race? I hope so, getting sick of all the boring Hyur clones. :pQuote:

That artwork isn't actually true 'concept art' though, as concept art is part of the design process and may change or differ from the final version. That artwork is more like propaganda artwork released to promote the game and the Jobs, no surprises that the first five Jobs are actually of Derplander and his friends (the male roe, female lalafell, female miqo'te and female elezen). The artbook The Art of Eorzea ~ Another Dawn just generally depicts Midlander hyur of bother genders for the base design of each class/Job's equipment/AF and then shows supplementary artwork of that same gear on other races due to design differences peculiar to each race.
Personally, for the propaganda artwork the choice of what race for new Jobs artwork would likely just depend on what race the artists feel like (and within the design brief given by Yoshi of course). But may I be proven wrong though. ;) -

If there is a Dancer, it needs to be a male, because, you know...

I'd like to see a male lalafell Healer, as well as a lalafell DPS. I wanna see lalafells. -

I would request all jobs be represented by Roegadyn

For Red Mage it has to be Viera (their lore says that they're masters of all weapons) -
07-27-2016, 03:48 PMEloahYou are right concept was the wrong word, it was just the first word that came to mind, lol. I fixed it in my post.Quote:
