What traditional class(es) are you going to be?

This isn't really intended to be a discussion on how or whether or not they should implement traditional class names. There are plenty of topics like that already floating around. This is more to gain a grasp on what classes people think should be given priority. What class(es) are you right now and what traditional class(es) you elect to be?

I have leveled both conjurer and thaumaturge pretty equally, but lately have been favoring conjurer. I would most likely take up black mage or red mage as my main, summoner if it ever gets implemented... or perhaps bard. :p

Great Katana Weapon Class.


Or if you meant Traditional Jobs: Samurai.

I wanna go for Musketeer or Fencer.














Seriously? People are still on about this?

Yes obviously they wont call Great Katana's weapon class Great Katana in english, they didn't call any of the Weapon classes by their actual weapon name but a edited version of the name from latin. I don't know what Great Katana could be following their translation methods so far. So they might have to improvise.

I don't see it being Samurai. But Bushido is probably the best choice, As the Katana is Bushido's primary weapon of choice. If not Bushido then Parivir (Job name from Tactics Advanced 2 that was essentially a Samurai.)

I'm a Thief at heart as well, evasion tanking and TH ftw! Would also be interested in Fencer and Assasin if they ever came about.

I was a little sad about the THF. They seem to have distributed some of the THF's classic skills to other classes and just eliminated it in the base 6.

I know we will eventually see advanced classes (6-9 months +, assuming Japan can recover and SE gets back on track "no rush, not in a hurry" I'd rather them be back in prime condition when they and their families and friends are safe)


Priority classes will most likely be a type of Warrior / Paladin / Dark Knight. I would imagine the Mage classes will be worked on also.

We already see a Musketeer's Guild and an Arcanists guild, but there is no inclination as to whether these are just npc guilds or if they will later host playable classes.



I am most excited about a gun-wielding class myself thought ;p

Assuming they're planning to add a great katana class(and they'd be fools not to I think), they'd probably go with Bushido simply because it communicates the idea of "katana user" more the other one. Assassin would probably use that weapon they were tied to in the .dats(where they glaives?).

It's funny, I know a lot of people who aren't playing FFXIV simply because of the lack of a katana-wielding class.

Dragoon, but I would also like to see if I can pull off a ranged class at all this game.

Yeah only have 7 Weapons Classes and Two Magic Classes at start was kinda a let down.

I'm Pugilist and Thaumaturge now.

I'd like to be Monk and Black Mage.

:D

While i'm not keen on the whole idea

Dragoon, Red mage, something w/ guns

and oracle ;p

Ninja forsure

Would you like to see the ninja tank? or take on a stealthy DD persona?

I would like SAM and DRK for sure.

As for THF that would be great but you won't be getting invites on my Cracked Up and Necro: Ranine leve's with TH ^^

Ninja Tanks are a Bastardization of the Job and should never exist.
FF1: Ninja was An Elemental Wielding Thief, Not a Tank
FF3: Ninja was a Throwing Weapons Specialist, Not a Tank
FF4: Edge was NOT a tank.
FF5: Ninja was an Throwing Weapons Specialist who assisted in escaping battle, Not a Tank.
FF6: Shadow was Not a Tank
FF7: Yuffie Definately was not a Tank
FF8: LOLninjas.
FF11: Is a Bastardtank
FF12IZE: Oddly... Ninja uses white magic... wut?
FF12RW: Elemental Mages that blend Elements with status effects. Not Tanks.


FF11 and 12 are kinda oddmen out :/

Definitely would like to see Samurai/Ronin/Bushido make it in whenever they start adding in the new system (which will hopefully be remotely soon!). Considering they want to go with classic names, I'll be surprised if they don't just call it Samurai. Though, I could also see Ronin fitting in with the whole wandering adventurer theme.

And for honorable mention, Dark Knight and Summoner!

Weapon Class Names > Bushido Most Likely
Job Names > Samurai, Parivir, Ronin, Ninja, Mystic Knight, Soldier

He was a chew toy for behemoths is what he was...

Toss up between black mage, dragoon (if they implement it), monk, or thief.

Ranger, end of story.

Ranger or Musketeer seem my speed.

I'll go for the mage classes, most preferably White or Black mage. Physical classes, most definitely Ranger or Dragoon.

Bluemage all the way.

I will exact my revenge via Impish Incantations and Sanguine Bite...

Beastmaster, mmmm griefing grind parties by just being there is ftw.

The one that gets to ride the shiva twins (summoner) and something that wields swords but is a good mix between an offensive and defensive character (like 70-30 off/def or 60-40).

Like ninjas, not the best at tanking, but pretty good at hurting stuff if you wanna spend the money.
I mean the balance of Off./Def. is good in girnd parties but it lacks int he long run with DPS and tanks when it comes to those jobs in the later end tier content. but would be fun to play I admit.
but my Beastmaster would grief your grind parties -.-;

Dragoon and depending on if they could pull off an even better way to make blue mage (XI lore wise); then bluemage!

Calculator, I wanna RUIN this game!!! :p

Samurai for sure x)

Summoner, I really really want to have summoner. Black Mage would be my second vote, though to be honest the way SE gimps mages in their MMOs I'm not even sure if I want them to add SMN or BLM at all. No need to completely shatter all the love I have for mages (especially Summoners) from previous FFs.
