New Job Shown Shadowbringers Teaser

For any who watched the opening keynote for fanfest you would obviously know that they only confirmed the limited job of Blue Mage. Yoshida did in fact make mention of another being hidden somewhere in the teaser.

Just wanted to make sure those who haven't caught it, see it. The bit where Thancred is running with what looks like a lalafell through a temple is what I am thinking. He very clearly has a gunblade on his back. Obviously not thancred's class.. Looks like the gunblade is confirmed. Will it be a tank though, that is obviously unclear.

Thoughts and opinions?

I hope it's a Tank. We really need more tanks and heals all around.
It really won't be fair if BLU is around the corner as a DPS, and then you add yet ANOTHER DPS in 5.0
and then had RDM and SAM in SB.
3 DPS in SB.
1 DPS in SBR.
Come on man, gimme some healers! :eek:

I am 100% with you, at least the blue mage, to the disappointment of many, will not have to be competed with in ques and such with endgame content.

Looks like a little girl to me. I'm thinking it might be the reincarnation of Minfilia, or perhaps someone of royal lineage. Either way, they were being led by the hand, and obviously needed protection.

At first I thought watching it that Thancred had similar type medium clothing on, but after watching a few times it looks like some fending type gauntlets perhaps. That would be crazy if the case, it does look like a little girl.

Wellllll... they did say that Blue Mage is not a Shadowbringers job. And there are multiple new jobs for Shadowbringers. So possibly Gunblade, a healer and ????

I'd say that it confirms it. What we got was a teaser, so maybe they'll show it off a bit more in the full trailer. I hope it's a dps, but if it's a tank that's not a deal breaker for me. I just want my gunblade.

I agree, I will take gunblade in whatever iteration, I prefer tank myself.

Most likely tank. Dont forget Thancred was a gladiator when you first meet him, not a rogue.

To be fair, this was also sort of their "default" class for any non-original 2.0 classes. When I go through the post-Ultima cutscenes (where you go back into the Aether to "forge thee... a blade of light") and I'm on AST, SAM, RDM, DRK, etc, I just pull out a PLD sword and shield. I'm not sure this is "canon" Thancred, I think this was "Thancred was a NIN but we didn't have that coded in yet."

Most npc I see in game using a gun blade most time hide behind a shield. Not alway but most time sooooo there some hope there.

Gunblade in Thancred's back: The job
The fact that Thancred is protecting the girl: The role

That makes sense. So its looking really as tank.

For some reason I think it might actually be a new hand/land job. Don't know why.
Gunblade is probably a tank and I assume a healer to be announced, too.

Basically BLU is being treated just like ROG/NIN was, right?
Then in HW we got 3 new jobs.

I was so focused on Alphinaud possibly learning a new job that it didn't occur to me that Thancred could be the one to do it instead.

Oh, I wish he would!
Alisae went full RDM badass in SB...
Maybe Alphy can go BLU?

Thinking of it, Alphy has a blue ponytail ribbon... and Ali a red one. Hmmm.

Gunblade job class. My main will be using that one.

Just a guess but the Gunblade job could be a Dex based physical melee DPS with a bit of ranged thrown in, sort of like a physical version of a reverse Red Mage where you spend most of your time fighting up close and then leap back, unload with the gun part of your gunblade and then leap back into melee range.
If they went this route it would be cool if they leaned a bit heavier on the ranged part than they did with the melee aspect of RDM, so you are moving between melee and range a lot more, perhaps even mid-combo, making the job incredibly mobile and more "mid-range" instead of overtly melee or ranged.

It's not a dancer gunblader, it is a monk machinist.

Shout out to those that remember.

Except that time they did not say there is a hint in the trailer. So it's a lot more likely to be correct right now.

I actually believe it is gonna be gunblade and it will be melee dps

I want a job that dual wields swords or something. As much as I liked my ninja in the past, it's rather annoying to play. As for the Gunblade class, I am fine with either tanking or DPS. I at least know how to do both now.

more inclined to believe its a tank
since leaker said Blue mage in 4.5 which is very specific and now true also said Gun blade tank and Dancer healer
