Hey smartypants.

There is data in the game already for a bard that is separate from arcanist. Bard is not arcanist. Also, there is an area in Gridania intended for bards, with the bard logo.

Edit: Also, Mystic currently has nothing to do with summoner. It seems more like a white mage if anything based on current data on spells and abilities.

Bards from XI had time-altering spells. Arcanist has time-altering spells.

And why would we need a White Mage (Mystic) when we already have Conjurer and Thaumaturge? (White Mage/Black Mage types, respectively)

So did Time Mage, Green Mage, Blue Mage, and a dozen other magic and non-magic classes throughout the FF series. Time-alternating spells are not uncommon.

White Mage also does more than just heal stuff. They use holy magic. Mystic's spells are aligned to astral elements.

to start they should just copy/paste the jobs in FFXI for the time being

Samurai: as suggested by NeoEarth

That's GLADIATOR, dipstick.

Seriously guys, stop this retarded garbage. It's cluttering up the forums. The devs already have plans for jobs, and it's pointless to be making suggestions right now. Just be quiet and wait.

Remember the DAT leaks on the jobs like Arcanist, Fencer, Musketeer, etc?

THOSE ARE THE JOBS. DEAL WITH IT.

You're wrong. What was listed in the dats are "classes." If you read the letter, they are bringing back the TRADEMARK job system. This means Black Mage, Red Mage, White Mage, etc etc etc.

*quietly stares in annoyance*

Seriously? Mystic = Summoner. Arcanist = Bard. This is just one big troll clusterf*ck. Cut it out, guys.

You guys are not game developers. And your suggestions are patently absurd at this point in time. They didn't ask for job suggestions, so don't pile it on. All you're doing is creating annoyances.

You don't even know that...

[SilvertearRen]

To those that didn't read through the entire *thread*, the argument over job/class distinctions is done and over with. I GET IT NOW. OK?

[Trovyria]

I have a few I'd like to suggest as well as general ideas to go with them:

I would really love to see Dancer come back, and I even have a suggestion that it could branch off Pugilist. It's a little bit of a logic leap, but I think Pugilist is the closest base we have to make a Dancer connection. It could be their support role. Or prehaps Gladiator's support role since they have daggers already.

I would also like to see Dragoon return, but chances are very high that this is already one of the jobs they have in mind given the limited options for Lancer.

I would also like to see Dark Knight, however I'd rather they come in as a class instead of a job because a Dark Knight without a Scythe is a sad Dark Knight.
