Being able to summon a dragon, and then draw it into yourself to increase your strength or defense would be cool. And while wielding a scythe? Count me in.
Ran'jit's fight style would make a brilliant pet job

Id call it something different. Like Dragonmancer or Channeler. Id rather have a more traditional Beastmaster that uses a ranged weapon like a crossbow. Square Enix has a chance with a unique job that we haven't seen before, and I'd rather they not waste it. A couple more pet jobs would be cool. Also for heavens sake no more limited jobs.
XIV has had impact on Square Enix. Just look at Octopath Traveler. Astrologian showed up in the game as Starseer. It also showed up in Bravely Second. XIV Is a great playground for new ideas that could breathe life into Square Enix games. A dragon oriented pet job would be a fun mainstay. -

No one has mentioned the most important fact about Ran'jit yet...
He's a Highlander with EYEBROWS.
When SE... when?! -
07-08-2019, 04:30 AMDaraliiThey already had a dragon-oriented pet job. It was XI's Dragoon. Yoshida also named BST and PUP specifically when he was listing off potential future limited jobs.Quote:

I don't think I've ever seen a class that combined blood control, pets, transformation, and martial arts. -

Could be interesting if they do let it out the box, considering it offers something that I've seen requested - ex: Morphing job, Scythe-wielding class, blood mage, etcQuote:

Sounds like Morpher from Tactics Advanced. They were related to the BST job where you collect monsters and store them in your own Monster Bank.
The morpher abilities had quite a wide range of usage. And like BLU, it has to collect and train the monsters for the skills. In other words, prime limited job candidate. -

I wanted to see a 1v1 Ran'jit vs Zenos.
I screamed when I first watched the cutscene where Ran'jit kicked the cart AND the golem both! -

We could Just call it Mystic/ Mystic Knight. Make it a new melee DPS Maiming job. Though personally i would want a dual wielding sword user and something less eastern inspired. We already have 3/4 melee DPS with eastern themes...

07-08-2019, 09:33 AMJaywalkerHonestly he seemed more summoner to me visually than summoners.Quote:

Well let's just call it... Dragoon. Honestly we already have a class with a dragon theme - why not just add a similar skills to it for the next xpac.

With a badass scythe like that we can also call them Reaper job or RPR!

07-08-2019, 10:26 AMMartyrProbably right around the time we get Derplander's facial scruff. So, likely never.Quote:

I would love to get a job similar to his fighting style. He looked pretty awesome.

07-08-2019, 01:54 PMDamianFataleBut we aren't those franchises. FF's Beastmaster is usually archery oriented with pets that you catch in the wild and use as attacks.Quote:

Ran'jit struck me more as some sort of ascended monk that is particular to the First. He's got all of the traits to be a really top tier monk; a dragon (school/symbol of power), kama (scythe), high yomi (being able to read opponents and predict their next move) and before he fuses with his dragon, he does use unarmed strikes.

07-16-2019, 05:06 PMKurandoPerhaps there might be some confusion with the Ranger job in FFV, as although it was not BST per say it was capable of calling on woodland animals to deal damage to enemies (maybe some utility too?). The Ranger naturally used long range weapons like Bows, of course V also had BST which definitely did use Whips but having two jobs using animals was quite interesting. FFX-2 also had your pet attack for you as opposed to the character actually welding a weapon to do it, but mostly in the FF series they had close/medium range weaponry. What happens in other IPs is irrelevant though.Quote:
