    Just to make it more understandable.

    If Jobs are locked to the Weapon Class that unlocks them.
    • Archer Unlocks Ranger.
    • Once the Gun Using Weapon class is released. They can't be a Ranger? Why?

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Because then they'd be a musketeer. I think the whole armory system's point is being lost here. The idea was, each time they added a new weapon type it'd come with its own class complete with skills etc. The idea being that rather than wanting to use a gun on your Ranger, you'd just want to use a gun as your weapon and then gain the abilities that come with it.

    Then you'd switch specialisation/class to use the weapon you liked, rather than try to bring it in to another class.

    The Weapon Classes are not the same as Jobs and Jobs are not Advanced Weapon Classes.
    Rather than being advanced versions of classes, we would like players to think of jobs as specialized playing styles optimized for partying.
    So Musketeer is just the Weapon Class, but Ranger which is the job that specialized in Ranged Weapon Damage dealing shouldn't be locked from using Musketeer Guns, Archer Bows, or WhateverytheycallCrossbowusers and their Crossbows..

    Usually they'd be called Crossbowmen or Arbalists(sp?).

    "Arbalist" is just the weapon. They'd be an "arbalister."

    Both are less common spellings of arbalest/arbalester.

    Is that an example or speculation Again?
    Because there havent been any new Confirmed classes beyond the ones we already have access to.
    Ranger dosent specificly means only Gun user does it. (maybe in your book, but not mine)

    For all we know thge "Gun" wielding class could be anything from brand
    new class called maybe: Buccaneer, Privateer maybe even Corsair.

    Staring to see why you have almost 2k posts, and bloody hell... if all your "facts" are based upon
    speculations you claim is set in stone it's no wonder people here dont take you serious.

    Musketeers guild is already in game hun. Its in Limsa Lominsa.

    And that comment was to say

    "Bow User Class" Unlocks Ranger Job
    "Gun User Class" Can not be Ranger Job because its already taken by "Bow User Class"

    Which I do not want.

    Well once again I'll say I'm disappointed we're not getting more than one specialisation per class, sorta kills the potential for any DoW to tank and any DoM to heal, thus making finding these two specs much easier.

    That said, I'm glad we can put the Divine Lancer to rest.
