What previously featured FF job are you most interested in seeing next?

It might be wishful thinking but I'd this survey gets big enough, I'll attempt to bring it into popular discords and the offical forums to try and garner attention from community managers. I know Yoshi P is always at least curious to see what the community is asking for.

Beastmaster! Even though I know it will never happen unless it's a dumb limited job, Since Yoshi really hates pets!

Puppetmaster! Same thing as above. /cry

But I wouldn't be opposed to a new interpretation of those classes. Temp Summons or something.

Since I have read about a new healer class being desired, maybe the Chemist? The quirk to them could resemble Alfyn's Concoct Potion command from Octopath Traveller. Mix 2 - 3 ingredients together to form what effect is needed. The effects I can think of is a massive AoE Heal, a Poison DoT on enemies and a buff to the party.

Probably Time Mage, Green Mage, or Mystic Knight.

Necromancer, Berserker, Beastmaster

Necromancer as a melee healer job. Have them rip out aether from the targets to heal others with their scythe weapon. Since pets got reworked, have their “pet” be a skeleton warrior that prioritize damage and mitigation and/or a ghost of some kind that uses the aether ripped out to aoe heal.

Red mage was honestly the last one I was that interested in before seeing them in action. There aren't really any left that will get me excited on name alone. For me now it's more about what interesting weapon types they may add.

Chemist for a new healer class.

Release it alongside Geomancer as a Magic DPS class to give a Science vs Nature kinda theme.

After watching this video that showed up on my instagram recommended feed, gives us Puppetmaster (as a full job) based off The Sacred Riana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4JIcaRBeNw

I too would like to see a necro healer. Some kind of zombie pet would be cool. I think a necro healer has a lot of potential to challenge the traditional healer role.

Its kinda weird seeing how many people want Necromancer in, much less as a healer when its only iteration in FF has only one healing ability for itself (Drain Touch). Then again others feel the same way about DRK as a tank so each their own.

Chemist is the only one I'm all that interested in currently. I don't know much about Puppetmaster outside of hating using Puppet-type fighters in fighting games so I'm biased against there.

And Beastmaster is tempered by my expectation of it being a Limited Job if they give it more than 3 pets, though if it has three for some reason I expect it to be similar to the three you could get in FFX-2.

I'd love to see an actual bard.

Chemist for sure. Also I'd love to see something like the Oracle from Final Fantasy Tactics, but I'm not sure a job that specializes in debuffs and status ailments would really work in this game since it would be over powered and broken in raid scenarios, or weak and lacking identity.

A lot of other classic jobs could be argued to have been hybridized into other jobs. Astro has a lot of Time Mage aspects to it, White Mage has a Geomancer background, and Warrior has a Berserker element to it. Also puppetmaster is a job I always scratch my head at when I see everyone requesting it as I've never seen a job like that in any mainline Final Fantasy, and I've played all of them except 11.

i would love for the nu mou to teach us how to be a morpher

Quina's devour ability.

NCR as a healer twist.

IDK why i want this, but i do. I'd likely main the hell out of it. Maybe it's because of that one tumblr post about Necromancers just being really late healers.

I'd like to see Time Mage.

Like EQ bard? No dev is going to touch that one. They're too scared.

I wouldn't mind seeing some mechanic to twist our songs though. We kinda do at 80, but not really.

It's a tie for me between Chemist and Geomancer. If I had to pick one, I'd go with the latter.

Beastmaster as a Limited job could easily be basically (totally not) pokemon.

Time mage is my favorite mage class and i'm hopefull that they will drop the "but ast is supposed to be time mage!" idea one day lol

I'd love to see beastmaster, though considering it will fall under "limited job" shenanigans makes me sad cause like blue mage it will kiss the dust once the content is done

Think as we want a 4th healer and Chemist has been mentioned on a few occasions as being a potential future FF14 class I am hoping it is added.

Don't really want another limited class like BLU unless it happens to also be another DPS class.

A healer based on Chemist, but with a magitek quirk like Machinist and Gunbreaker.

My top picks for Healer would be: Chemist or Psychic (FFX-2 version) each would give a unique aesthetic for a healer.

Geomancer I’d be down for a Support Caster DPS, who uses ground-targeted skills, and wind/earth/water elements.

Or a melee heavy weapon job, that uses either Hammers/Maces, or double-ended thief-swords (Zidane)

Chemist would be my top pick. One thing I dislike about XIV is that traditional FF restorative items (potions, ethers, elixirs, even phoenix down) are practically useless in this game. Introducing an item-based healer would make those items useful again. Although balancing item-based vs MP-based healers might be tricky.

I've always wanted puppetmaster, but I'll stress that if the only way they can think to implement it is by making it a limited job I'd prefer to never have it at all.

Actually somehow i wanna see a gambler job in this game as buffer/dps with.... yeah random luck based buffs/dps... but i dont think this is possible to balance xD

I would highly doubt they’d make chemist in ffxiv actually consume items. It would inhibit that job from performing in a way other jobs are not.

If I had to guess at an implementation method, I’d expect something like Rikku’s overdrive command with mixing items to create an effect. Something potentially like the dances of mudra system. Or for those who played it, maybe a system like the incense used by Lucia in Shadow Hearts: Covenant.

Since they already sorta gave us Blu. Either pup or bst.

RAV, SAB, SYN, SHA & SRC.
