Jobs & Classes you'd like to see in the future

時魔道士 Again, I say, Time Mage please!^^

[Diamente]

Viking. It should be the next tank. Double Hammers or Axes as weapons. I think its only ever been in one other FF game.

[Giantbane]

DRK

MRD->DRK would be easy as MRD is basically already set up for regaining hp to offset the cost of Souleater. Just add in 2h greatswords/scythes as class specific DRK only weapons (kinda like the relic weapons are Job only weapons) and you're done.

[Deedsie]

Grand Wizard:

Class when reaching WMG/BMG/SCH lvl 50

The ultimate Mage class.

There's already a specific FF name for that job. It's called "Sage".

I would ~LuV~ this. I've actually been secretly hoping for the return of a green mage as well (who was equipped with hammers in tactics), so these two could be introduced together.

[Sylphritz]

I would love to see a class with the ability to dual-wield

[Duelle]

Some CC in this game would be nice and Time Mage to Astrologer for Job would fulfill that role nicely. Yeah I'm old school like that. Shout out to Olan Durai!!

Considering Astrologists are native to Ishgard, wouldn't it be better to have Astrologist as the class and Time Mage as the job?

Spellsword > Red Mage & Blue Mage

I'm still not sure where Blue Mage enters all this. BLU is closer to a pure caster than RDM ever was, because it's entire gimmick was having access to monster skills in the form of magic. You could make BLU's weapon a stuffed animal or a rubber chicken and it would still be a Blue Mage so long as it can cast monster skills as magic.

Actually, Blue Mages are frequently hybrids and generally pretty arbitrary. You're right to say that they are merely a job name for a gimmick, though. In 5, they could wield swords or generic caster weapons. 6, pure caster (Strago). 7, anyone and anything (Enemy Skill). 8, pretty much anything (Quistis LB). 9, fork (Quina). 10, lance (Kimahri). X-2, guns. 11, swords (scimitar). TA, swords (saber). TA2, swords (saber).

I wanna see dat Samurai!

That and Dark Knight

alternate roles for the classes that don't have them yet (everything but arcanist)

marauder -> berserker (dps)
gladiator -> dark knight (dps)
lancer -> templar (tank)
pugilist -> bouncer (tank)
conjurer -> geomancer (dps)
thaumaturge -> necromancer (healer?)
archer -> ranger (dps i guess?)

and I kinda assume they'll surprise us before long with musketeer -> corsair/something

would love to see blue mage though :s

Necro would most likely be a leech class that i think SE should make

I would love a caster class where the "weapon" was a stuffed animal! Bring on Lulu!
