Job Quest Pics analyzed

http://goo.gl/NnGvo

Anyone else get the feeling you may have to fight the characters shown in the pics to get the Job?

From the translations the Paladin is says:
Solkzakil: ".....No, it's just, after watching your sword skills, it reminds me of a man I once knew."
So did he watch you in combat or did he fight you himself?

The Bard character says:
Juantell: "...I just can't.... do it..."
While saying this he appears ready to fire off an arrow, so perhaps he is calling off the fight so no one is killed.

Also, from the background you can tell that each Job Quest will start in the city of the corresponding Class.

Lastly, maybe I'm reaching on this, but both the Paladin and Black Mage characters seem to be making references to what may be a historical figure of there respective Jobs.


P.S. I wouldn't bother speculating, but seeing as the patch is still 2 weeks away I figure we have time on our hands.

I like the Drg's style...no talking, more attacking

The entirety of the Dragoon questline is going to be Parley.

I'm hoping for a "Maat" type fight for the final step before unlocking the Job.

Something like:
1. Go get an item.
2. Go kill a NM.
3. Now fight me.

You do realize that crazy people have a odd tendancy of going crazy on the folks that attempt to enlighten them that they are in fact, crazy.

It's OK. My lance tells me that I'll be OK.

And yes, I did have someone check it out. My toothbrush council unanimously agreed that it's not weird for me to talk to my weapons.

Was having this discussion a week or so ago, and I was hoping that we would have to fight the npcs to prove ourselves worthy, I hope its true!

That would be really cool if we had to fight them. I would be down for that.

Honestly if it is anything like the other solo quested content I just hope it doesn't take very long, because that has all been very disappointing in FFXIV.

I also hope if the AF is the same, that it is not all better than whatever is dropped in the dungeons (I have little hope the AF itself will drop in the dungeons because of the whining that would elicit from people who "can't do groups"). We need itemization that makes sense, with goals worth building anticipation for, and content that involves more than killing some easy prey opponent in 2 seconds.

It would be really nice to have such content at some point before 2.0 if nothing else just to show that we (those of us who don't like "content" like the Cultist event) aren't completely invisible to the developers.

Although this is wishful thinking, it would be nice if you had to fight, say, the DRG boss as a DRG. Something where the let you play the job you're trying to unlock, with 'stock' or standard equipment, against a 'Maat-like' boss.

While they didn't say which NPCs we'll be fighting, they did say in the last Producer's Letter that NPC battles are included. It most likely will be the main NPCs in the quests, or some rival... either way, cool!

My lance is my mother lion; mess with me, and it'll rip out your spleen. >=D

^ Masa! :O

"Whats that Ifrit's Harpoon, I have to kill everyone in Ul'dah?" *Begins crazy rampage around Ul'dah*

I wouldn't think that the initial quest to unlock the job is going to be hard at all. It may be if you're level 30 and doing it, but as a 50 I'm sure it will be a joke. I can only hope that the armor is not easy to obtain and some of the later quests aren't a push-over

^^This
I was going to say this exactly...
We can only hope the last ability quest (the 50 ability) and the AF armor is challenging because at this point nothing else can be
