Job wish list.

Heya so I have been thinking about jobs I'd love to see, and I want to compile them in a nice list for the devs, and the community.

Tank: Mystic Knight, Sword Saint, Divine Knight (This could be our warhammer class)

Mdps: Puppetmaster, Ravager, Some kinda Mdps with a big heavy weapon, maybe take inspiration from a judge?

Physical Ranged: Corsair, Gunner, Gambler (Playing cards. Think AST but personal buffs).

Mage: Sage

Healer: Alchemist, Shaman, Seer.

What do you guys think?

Mime and Bare (Freelancer)

Beastmaster (not limited)
Could make them work like hunters in wow for the pets, a few families that all have the same abilities but different skins based on what you tame
e.g big pets would be the AOE bulky pets, not only for soloing but great for dungeons
small pets would have a stun, a single target dot, debuffs or something
etc. Dual wield axes or a whip, (prefer axes, but either is fine)
No need to make them a limited job, i'd rather they be a fully functioning job even if they have to be toned down from ff11

There's another thread for this that isn't even 24 hours old...
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-see-in-FFXIV.

Interesting jobs from the Final Fantasy Series (that we haven't seen yet):

Tanks: Templar(FFTA), Soldier (FF7 and FFTA), Defender (FFTA), Gadgeteer (FFTA)
Melee: Berserker (FFV and FFX2), Fencer/RuneFencer (FFTA and FFXI), Morpher (FFTA), Animist (FFTA)
Ranged: Juggler(FFTA), Hunter (FFTA), Sniper(FFTA), Orator (FFT)
Caster: Arithmetitian (FFT), Mystic (FFT), Sage (Various), Illusionist (FFTA), Elementalist (FFTA), Geomancer (Various)
Healer: Chemist (FFT), Bishop (FFTA)

Beastmaster,unlimited,with FFXI style tames.

That's honestly the first time I've seen corsair mentioned as a desired job. I've never played XI, so I can't comment, but was the job undesirable (to most) there? I'm genuinely curious because that job seems much more interesting than going with a bunch of the more requested jobs.

Berserker that uses a double bladed staff like Zidane used.

Healer: Chemist (uses a Mudra-style "Mix" system for its oGCDs. Their weapon would be a magick handgonne/pistol; compared to MCH's Rifle. These are used similarly to Alchemist's guns in FFX-2)
Ranged DPS: Ranger (uses a Crossbow, traps, snares, poisons, camouflage to deal damage and debuff a target; also has a Falcon/Hawk pet like Ranger did in FF5)
Tank: Rune Knight (somewhat based on FFXI's Rune Fencer. Uses a 2 handed warmace, uses runes to buff their damage and defense. They have a HG/LD like skill that converts all damage into heals for 10s.
Melee: Beastmaster (Uses a whip and has 2 kinds of pets one for ST and AoE, and other pets appear briefly for various oGCD (like NIN's Hellfrog Medium), like summoning a Bomb to self-destruct, or a Wyvern to divebomb).
Caster: Oracle/Mystic (Sort of a Taoist/Elementalist/Illusionist. Uses a crystal ball and Onmyōdō hexes to manipulate fate to inflict calamities and misfortunes that befall the target.

MDPS or Ranged DPS (I'm fine with both): Puppetmaster. uses marionettes to fight, duh (pretty much like the one in 11 but more fleshed out).
Healer: Shaman. a Healer who uses attacks to heal it's party, like life drain and so on.
Melee: Trickster. Uses things like traps lots of DOT's but has a bit of RNG to it's playstyle is a bit like astrologian but instead of buff and heal it's debuff and attack.
Others I like to see: Beastmaster and Cannoneer.

The job was EXTREMELY desirable. Bards and Corsairs were both highly sought-after because support buffs in that game were very, very strong. Corsair saw a bit less play than Bard iirc though because their strongest combat weapon was Guns, and you had to purchase ammo from Crafters in a game where you had to go out of your way to create any income.
