Saw an interesting thread on reddit, and it got me thinking: what ever happened to these guys?http://www.finalfantasykingdom.net/1...emagisters.png
They're a fairly iconic part of the franchise; in many of the fftactics games and of course in ff12, you knew you'd done goofed if one of these was after you. :p Anyways, they seem like such a picturesque part of the setting that I'm kind of surprised they aren't a playable option in ff14. what do you guys think?
Here's a link to the original thread:

The OP has some really cool ideas, basically setting the class into a playstyle of buff/debuff king. they could be a new kind of tank, or an interesting hybrid between support/dps... as far as gear goes, obviously they need that classic imposing-looking plate (with the cape? definitely) that lets you know at one glance that you are being judged, thoroughly.

As far as main hand, there is a weapon style that is curiously absent from ff14 that would fit the Judge concept perfectly: Hammers. A judge could have a 1-handed Gavel, paired with a shield or something (scales of justice? a clipboard/scroll/wanted poster? a jangling pair of shackles??), or they could go 2-handed and swing a massive, justice-inflicting Mallet.

Anyway, just some nerdy food for thought. ;) I love to hear what other players think about judges in ff14. good idea? terrible idea? what role dyou think they'd fill? would they bring a whole new level of "broken" to pvp?:rolleyes: I'm just saying, this big awesome game could use a few more capes, hammers, and stern-looking helmets lol -

Judge would actually be a nice class to have perhaps as a 3 way role. I would still like to see a Soldier class :P

I love the judges from ff12 and this would be a cool class I don't think we've ever seen playable in FF. Working it into how we can obtain the judge class would be a hurdle tho because they are garlean. Maybe a turncoat judge escapes to a future country we liberate. Or we could wait 8 years to when we finally go and kick the garlean empire's teeth in on their home turf. But it's definitely a cool idea for a new tank class.

As said, I think the closer from them are the Legatus and Tribunus of the garlean empire. Hard to make into one job since they all mimmick different combat styles with technology.

I would definitely like to see a tank job (ideally Judge) that uses blunt weapons, something that can work quite well with MNK. After all, that Blunt debuff doesn't get a lot of use bar from the one who inflicts it.

Giant ass magitek hammer that does Blunt based damage to make MNKs actually useful for once...(had to make a normal MNK damage joke...)

Definitely approve of Judge or Soldier class

Could totally get behind the idea of a Maul wielding Judge. Anything to stop the demand for hammer using Berserkers. Hell thorw in a wrist mounted magitek canon implement call it good.

One thing is stopping this concept from ever occurring though (and it has nothing to do with lore or even the Armoury System), and no, it's not because of the Garlean Empire's legatee like Gaius. No, Judges in FFXIV are actually the Game Masters or GMs for short (their unique gear is literally called 'Judge' equipment, and can only be equipped by GMs, it's not available to players at all). So that is the big strike against any kind of 'Judge' Job being added for players I'm sorry to say.

Besides a scythe wielding Mystic Knight seems less like a FF Mystic Knight and a bit too much like a Guild Wars Dervish.
The weapon I would like to see Mystic Knights get is a dual bladed sword staff, like some of Zidane's weapons from FF9.
