Job names in the first

Since we are going to the first i think we should come up with names for the jobs on the first =D,

Paladin = Holy Knight (FFT) or Templar (FFTA)
Warrior = Berserker (FF5) or Viking (FF3) or Ravager (FFTA)
Dark Knight = Ark Knight (FFT) or Mystic Knight (FF5)
Gunbreaker = Gunblader (FF8) or Soldier (FF7)
White Mage = White Wizard (FF1 Upgraded Job) or Seer (FFTA2) or Devout (FF3)
Scholar = Sage (FFTA/FF3) or Oracle/Mystic (FFT)
Astrologian = Astrologer (FFT) or Time Mage (FFT)
Dragoon = Dragon Knight or Dragonkin (FFT) or Uhlan (FF12)
Monk = Black Belt (FF1) or White Monk/Master Monk (FFTA2)
Samurai = Parivir (FFTA2) or Swordmaster (Bravely Default)
Ninja = Assassin (FFTA) or Shikari (FF12)
Summoner = Evoker (FF3) or Shaman (FF13)
Black Mage = Black Wizard (FF1 Upgraded Job) or Elementalist (FFTA) or Magus (FF3)
Red Mage = Red Wizard (FF1 Upgraded Job) or Spellblade (FFTA2)
Bard = Ranger (FF3) or Sniper (FFTA) or Hunter (FFTA)
Machinist = Engineer (FFT) or Fusilier (FFTA2)
Dancer = Juggler (FFTA) or Songstress (FFX-2)

What do you guys think?
And any other names i missed maybe =3

I would love to be a Holy Knight

Arbert and his party used the corresponding job names from III- Knight(PLD), Devout(WHM), Magus(BLM), Ranger(BRD), and Warrior. They used Magic Swordsman instead of Knight in the JP version for whatever it's worth.

There's some precedent set here, based on the Warriors of Darkness we encounter in 3.4. Going off their names in the solo duty...

• Arbert is a Warrior, same as in our world.
• Blanhaerz is a 'Knight' rather than a Paladin.
• J'rhoomale is a 'Ranger' rather than a Bard.
• Naillebert is a 'Magus' rather than a Black Mage.
• Lamimi is a 'Devout' rather than a White Mage.

It seems to me like they all use FF3 jobs. Most of the FFT/FFTA job names probably exist on the Source, too, in the Dalmasca region, given they appear on a lot of the raid gear from Rabanastre/Ridorana/Orbonne.

maybe it will be a ff3 world in name then =D, considering warrior was warrior in ff3 too

They probably use the Japanese word for "Knight" for the current Paladin job. I know that's the case for what they call Paladin in French ("Chevalier"), so I'd expect it to go the same way for most languages.

I think it'd be cool to see if they could bypass that language barrier issue.

Paladin is Paladin in french too. Chevalier and Paladin are 2 different things. Sry if I didn't understand something ^^

Also, I think dancer comes from the First, so the name for Eorzean should changeb but stay dancer for the First.

Yes, Paladin is "Paladin". Chevalier would be directly translated to "Knight" actually :)

We don't know where the DNC trainer is, but considering they put the SAM, RDM, and now Gunbreaker trainers in ARR areas, I'll be surprised if they don't do the same for DNC.

There's no dragons on the first. It would probably be Ulhan.

Yeah, just had to check that. I know at some point the game was using Chevalier early on, but at least that's one of those issues resolved.

As for Dancer, we only see them in the First in the trailer just because I think it's more intended to be a "feature showcase" thing. We're not really going to know officially until we have the info on the special website for Shadowbringers.

I heard it in a video or read it somewhere that Dancer trainer will be in Limsa Lominsa.

Gunbreaker is in Gridania and Dancer in Limsa.

That said, Red Mage and Samurai started in Ul'dah despite originating from other regions so that doesn't mean Dancer won't be related to the First.

Except Gyr Abania and Hingashi were just other places on the Source. The only travel across shards that hasn't required suicide and an Asican has required the Crystal Tower.

I'm going to guess that Gunbreaker will have its origins in Ishgard(Skysteel Manufactory wanting to contribute more than Machinists, creates their own gunblades to field against the Imperials) and DNC will have its origins in Ala Mhigo just because of the similarity between its artifact set and the antique ceremonial outfit that Lyse inherited from Yda.

Yes but we don't know how travel between the worlds is going to work, and Yoshi hinted that Dancer would be connected to where we're going in the Europe fanfest, and it's showcased in the new city in the cinematic. So it's still possible the job is somehow tied to it. We just won't know until early access starts.

As for gun breaker given the name I'm guessing it's designed to counter garlean artillery/guns, but we'll have to see.

Now I'm not saying 100% confirmed that Dancer originates from the First but I don't think we know enough to rule it out either. Especially since we don't know everything about the crystal towers both here and on the First. It could be linked to the First without necessarily having the main quest NPC having crossed over recently etc. We'll just have to see.

What if they arent even jobs on the first but...classes?

Gaffgarion was a Dark Knight in FFT and Meliadoul was an Arc Knight, you could also become a Dark Knight in the FFT port on the PSP (iirc). So something similar would be Fell Knight (main Gaffgarion job name from FFT) or Dark Fencer (FF:4 Heros of Light).

From the Warrior of Darkness arc in Heavensward, we already know some of the classes.

Paladin = Knight
Bard = Ranger
Black Mage = Magus
White Mage = Devout

I can see Warrior being Viking or Berseker.

I could have sworn the first was being or had been eaten up with light. Like the void.

I actual think that DNC could originate from Thavnair and gunbreaker could be a cross between garlean and ishgardian tech.

fell knight i can agree with, and she was a divine knight, zalbaag, delita and messam were ark knights

Call me a Drunk Knight because I'm sneaking in all the liquor I can get just to deal with this bs. What do you mean I missed with salted earth?

The region Norvrandt that we are visiting is the last remaining part that hasn't yet been obliterated by light but it's on the verge of being swallowed too, lest we bring darkness back. It'd be like if everything outside of Eorzea had been destroyed at the source. Whatever their version of the far east used to be, it's just blank nothingness now and everyone dead.

I believe it was the 14th shard that was lost to darkness...and the first shard is close to being consumed by the light. They are not quite there yet hence the warrior of darkness and co travelling to the source

Here are the new officials job names on the First

Tanks
Good guy
Wild Guy
Emo Guy

Healers
Fairy and her DPS pet
Balance dispenser
The ugly sister

Casters
BoOoOoM
Glamour that pet
Verraiser

Ranged DPS
PewPew
Arrow to the knee

Melee DPS
AOE-Eater
Dragon Fist
Kage Bunshin no jutsu
Oh so selfish

Limited jobs
Too Limited

It's the 13th Shard that fell to the Darkness and became the Void - the '14th' world is 'our Hydaelyn', the Source that the Shards are reflections of.

My guess before Japan Fanfest was that Dancer would be the second job with Radz-at-han being the city. (Which would have maybe felt a bit odd but then so did having Kugane as the main city of SB, a neutral nation that was basically a pit stop in the msq while traveling between the two regions it actually focused on.)

Boy was I wrong on that.

What if the First doesn't have jobs, just classes like 1.0?

I had the same theory! I was expecting the MSQ would take place in Ilsabard, with Radz-at-Han serving as our neutral hub/base of operations, and then at the end Garlemald would become our new Rhalgr's Reach. The fact that we got a magitek and (then only known from leaks) dancer job made me 100% convinced those would be the perfect places for those jobs' "guildhalls".

I can't believe I was SO far off. I was more willing to believe there was an Imperial province full of fairies than that we'd ever visit the First. The MSQ prior to 4.6 was such a massive misdirection.

Oh well, here's hoping for Ilsabard exploration in 6.0. I NEED to know what's underneath those clouds n_n

I just want a soldier class that uses big swords for DPS :(

I mean, just play DRK? Dunno if you're new to the game or not but tanks do a sizeable amount of dps in this game. Also in FF7 other than Cid and barret, Cloud was pretty damn tanky, but then again he was also a jack of all trades.

Here is the thing. Obviously Devout might end up being the name for White Mage on the first, but classes they are concidering for expansions have no chance.

I've heard the devs toss around Oracle, so that one is out of the picture.

Oracle could be the name for Astrologian

We already know bard is called ranger though from the Warriors of Darkness

Ninja and Thief are one and the same. Based on the FFI job progression where Thief is promoted to Ninja.

Rogue IS Thief just with a different name, it even has Mug as a skill.

Need a thesaurus and replace every word. Can't wait to excavate Dalamud lalafells with my gardener. Or to angle some sea-animals with my netcaster. Or to obtain minerals from mines with my archaeologist. Lets calm down a little bit, please.
